About Me
Who Am I
Originally from Egypt and a resident of Dubai since 1999. I grew up in a moderate family, between a loving brother and a joyful artistic sister, well shaded by a protective dad and a mom who was brought to us from heaven. We learned to be grateful and kind, we were taught how to give back to the under-privileged and we knew that a smile is the key to all hearts and to our own inner happiness. Our favorite and affordable holiday outlet was always the beautiful sea coasts of Egypt.
I graduated from Alson, Ein Shams University, German major. Then I decided to pursue my HR career. I acquired my HR Management Diploma from Leicester University and for the next 18 years I enjoyed a thrilling HR journey.
I worked for multinational corporations including Dow Chemicals, Serco and Averda where I served as HR business partner, supporting leaders to grow, employees to feel engaged and organisations to implement successful HR solutions. Coaching has always been an integrated part of my scope until I decided to fully pursue it in 2015. I enrolled in CTI, a reputed and leading Coaching Training Institute and acquired my Certification as a Professional Co-Active Coach, CPCC. In 2018 I earned my ACC accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In 2022 I earned my PCC accreditation.
Today I am a freelance Professional Coach and Leadership Facilitator.
What I am Passionate About
I am passionate about people...I just love it when I can draw a smile on someone's face, listen to their unique stories and make a lasting impact. I believe in the Human Element and their power to change and make a better world for all. I am also passionate about music.
I am a guitarist, singer and dancer. I believe in fully expressing ourselves through our own creative minds. Some choose to express themselves through a melody, others choose a poem, others through a painting or a speech. Each has a goal to bring awareness, make a difference or change perspectives.
Why I Choose To Coach and Develop People
I love supporting people to grow. I want for them to look into the horizon, reach out and touch what is possible for their life. I have been through the coaching journey myself and it evoked my own transformation to a fulfilled and a purpose-driven life. When I asked people what qualities they see in me, they said; genuine, positive, spiritual and lively.
I want to make an impact with my personal values. And I believe that with my strong HR knowledge, combined with my interpersonal and coaching skills, I will be able to support people and witness their unique transformation from a caterpillar into a stunningly beautiful butterfly...
My corporate vision is to be a strategic partner and a change agent through my executive coaching and corporate training skills. Not only working alongside senior leaders, but also staying very close to the “people” and tackling day-to-day challenges. I integrate coaching and training tools to help talents to grow and sustain their growth in the new economy.

What Is Exciting About Co-Active Coaching
It is about you. Discovering yourself. Realising your life purpose. Your values. Your passions. What drives you! In this journey you will learn to listen to your inner wisdom, and how it works towards the service of yourself and others. It will support you to find the balance in your life and will open you to explore different perspectives. You will have the space to dance in your own moment, encounter your feelings and evoke your own transformation to the life you want to live.
What is Co-Active Coaching all about anyways
A partnership between client and coach - a relationship that supports you to become a purpose-filled leader or an individual contributor. People often ask me what is coaching? It is simply a transformational experience that empowers you to know who you are and who you can be when you unlock your full potential. It is a journey of revelation towards professional and personal success.
