Hear From My Client

"Hi, my name is Anne and I manage the marketing department in my company. If you find it difficult to set boundaries so that people respect you, you should hire Ibrahim. He showed me simple techniques on how to appreciate myself more and show people how I want to be treated. Two months after completing the coaching program, I no longer feel taken advantage of by my subordinates and colleagues, and I am able to express my opinion and live my life on my own terms. I have gained respect and have been able to foster a more effective team dynamic. Investing in Ibrahim’s coaching program was a game changer. I highly recommend Ibrahim if you want to become more assertive with your employees and more effective as a manager."

- Anne Farah

"Ibrahim is a miracle worker! I am a business owner and was drowning in impostor syndrome before I found him. He helped me to be a better boss, a better wife, a better mother, and most importantly a better friend to myself. This has helped me gain confidence in leading my team and growing my business. I would STRONGLY recommend working with Ibrahim. This stuff works!"

- Jane Williamson

"Ibrahim is Amazing! I really recommend him. I went to see Ibrahim because I was always nervous at networking events. I always feared that I will say the wrong thing or make a fool of myself. We worked together for eight weeks; I put in a lot of effort, and it paid off! Ibrahim had a great way of making me feel empowered by helping me remember my strengths and achievements. We worked together using other methods like changing my negative self-talk. I was at a networking event at work last week, and I was able to initiate conversations, and I formed business relationships with three people. Two of those connections have already turned into profitable deals and the third is showing great promise. I am so pleased that I completed the confidence coaching program, it was worth every penny!"

- Marina Abu Wardeh

"For most of my life, I felt shy and insecure around people. I always found it very difficult to start a conversation at parties or keep it going. Ibrahim is so warm, calm, and non-judgmental. It was easy to open up and discuss the real reasons why I felt so shy and he showed me how to overcome my shyness. Since our last session last month, I have become much more confident around people and I am no longer shy to start conversations with strangers at parties. I have made three new friends. I really recommend Ibrahim if you want to improve and enjoy your social life."

- Mira Alwatani

"Hi, I am Tom. I am a salesman and rejection used to destroy my confidence. Every “no” was a blow to my ego. Ibrahim is very warm and compassionate. His coaching is very personalized, he really understood me and he really knew how to teach me not to take rejection personally.” I feel much more sure of myself and my sales numbers have shot through the roof!"

- Tom Selling
