Executive & Leadership Coaching Services

An

Integrated Approach to Leadership

You can replace these two paragraphs with this: Exceptional leadership is never developed in isolation. Whether working one-to-one with an executive or facilitating a team off-site, my methodology remains consistent: rigorous, integrated, and outcomes-driven.

For high-performing leaders, our work ensures they are not merely excellent, but operating at a truly world-class level. And when complexity or friction emerges, we move beyond surface-level solutions addressing root causes to unlock lasting, measurable transformation.

By integrating executive coaching, experiential leadership facilitation and training, and data-driven leadership assessments, we create a comprehensive ecosystem for growth. This is where evidence-based psychology meets executive strategy.

01. The Individual

One-on-One Executive Coaching

For C-Suite, Directors, VPs, and Founders.

True leadership requires looking inward. As an experienced Executive Leadership Coach, I provide a confidential space to explore the cognitive wiring and emotional patterns that drive your decision-making.

  • The Goal: A personalised blend of coaching, psychology, NLP and even hypnotherapy, tailored
  • Method: A personalised blend of coaching, psychology, and NLP tailored to the unique pressures of the UAE market.

02. The Team

Leadership Facilitation & Training

Experiential. Reflective. Transformational.

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn.”

My workshops are designed as facilitations, not lectures. Whether guiding a focused workshop or an executive offsite, I help leaders and teams work with the underlying mindsets, behaviours, and systems that shape performance, using globally recognised frameworks:

  • Transformational Leadership: Overcoming leadership & personal challenges at the level of consciousness and identity.
    Informed by Aberkyn (McKinsey & Company) accreditation.
  • Team Effectiveness: Clarifying team roles, leveraging strengths, and reducing conflict to improve collaboration and performance.
    Informed by Belbin Team Roles accreditation.
  • Immunity to Change: Uncovering hidden commitments at the subconscious level that silently block leadership growth.
    Based on training with Robert Kegan (Harvard PhD, Developmental Psychology).
  • Emotional Intelligence: Strengthening self-awareness, emotional regulation, and relational mastery under pressure.
    Informed by EQ-i 2.0 Certification.
  • Cultural Transformation:
    Aligning purpose, values, and behaviors, to build high-trust, high-performing cultures.
    Informed by Barrett Values Centre certification.
  • Cultural Transformation: Barrett Values certification to align culture and behaviour.
  • Executive Presence: Developing the gravitas required for high-stakes situations.
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP):
    Rewiring unhelpful cognitive and behavioral patterns to unlock clarity, confidence, and performance.
    Informed by advanced NLP training under Richard Bandler, Co-Creator of NLP.

03. The Data

Leadership Assessment & Diagnostics (LCP)

As a certified Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) practitioner, I work with what is widely regarded as the gold standard in leadership 360° assessment.

I deliver LCP engagements for individual executives and entire leadership teams, combining the full assessment with a structured group debrief and a confidential two-hour individual deep dive. For organisations, LCP is often repeated year on year to track leadership effectiveness, cultural shift, and behavioural change over time, creating a clear baseline and a powerful foundation for sustained coaching and development. Alongside LCP, I also work with complementary assessments where context requires broader insight:

  • Belbin Team Roles: To map how people collaborate, how culture is currently experienced, and what culture employees aspire to — deployed at scale across teams or entire organisations, and often repeated biannually or annually to track alignment and team effectiveness.
  • Emotional Intelligence (EQ-i 2.0): To surface patterns in emotional regulation, relational impact, and leadership presence.
  • Spiritual Intelligence (SQ): To explore values, meaning, and purpose as drivers of leadership behaviour.
  • NBI Thinking Preferences: To understand cognitive styles and decision-making tendencies.

These tools are never used in isolation. They are integrated selectively to translate data into practical leadership insight, behavioural shifts, and measurable organisational impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide between One-on-One Coaching and Leadership Facilitation? 

The distinction is usually based on the “unit” of change. If the challenge is internal to a specific leader (e.g., decision fatigue, presence, or transition), Executive Coaching is the correct path. If the challenge is relational or systemic (e.g., silos, team conflict, or strategic alignment), Leadership Facilitation for the team is more effective. We often combine both for maximum impact.

Do you offer online or virtual coaching for clients outside Dubai?

Yes. While based in Dubai and serving clients frequently in Abu Dhabi, a significant portion of our practice is virtual. We work with international executives and regional leaders across the GCC using secure video conferencing. The depth of the work remains the same, regardless of the medium.

Can we book a standalone Leadership Assessment without a coaching programme?

Yes. We offer standalone Leadership Assessment packages (e.g. The Leadership Circle Profile). This is a popular option for leaders who want a “snapshot” of their current impact or for organisations needing an objective baseline before planning their L&D strategy for the year.

What industries do you specialise in?

Our methodology is industry-agnostic because it focuses on human psychology rather than technical processes. We partner with C-Suite leaders in many sectors including Finance, Technology, Government, Energy and Healthcare.

How are your engagement fees structured?

Because our work is bespoke, fees vary based on the scope and duration of the engagement. Executive Coaching is typically structured as a 3-12 month retainer, while Leadership Facilitation and training are priced per project or workshop. We can discuss the specific investment required during your initial consultation.

Do you work with startups and founders?

Yes. We have a dedicated track for High-Growth Founders. The pressures of scaling a business require a different psychological toolkit than managing a steady-state corporation. We help founders transition from “doing everything” to leading a scalable executive team.
