ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Standing on this foundation, the coach’s responsibility is to:

• Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
• Encourage client self-discovery
• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
• Hold the client responsible and accountable

What all that jibber jabber means is that you come to me with a goal or a challenge and we work together on getting you moving forward. I rattle you out of your comfort zone and you do the hard work. Then we celebrate and you go home a happier more productive person feeling like you are finally powered by passion.

Yes I sure am. And I like to go over and beyond. Here’s a list for you. Growth and learning is a constant and never ending lifestyle for me. So more will be added to this list as we go.

• Certified ‘Passion Test’ facilitator for adults (US) –The one and only in UAE.
• Certified ‘Passion Test’ facilitator for kids & teens (US) – The one and only in UAE.
• Kids Coaching Connection Coach (Canada) –This was one of my earliest programs to complete.
• Byron Katie’s ‘The Work’ facilitator (US) – This is how I will get you out of your prison of suffering.
• Professional Certified Coach -PCC- at the International Coaches Federation – You get this designation only after you have about 750 hours of coaching under your belt, I now have well over a 1000 hours. That’s a lot of coaching experience at your disposal.
• Certified Strategic Interventionist (Robbins Madanes Training, US) –This is a beautiful 6 months process that makes me able to coach like the amazing Tony Robbins does. It makes me a Tonyette!
• Certified Co-active life coach -CPCC (US) –This is one of the most rigorous certification programs out there.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design and Minor in Fine Arts (Lebanon)- Yes, once upon a time, this was my passion. I always loved making things prettier and better and happier.
• Master’s Diploma in Interior & Product Design (Italy) – This was my excuse to go live in Italy, a dream come true, and to travel all of Europe, which I did minus Scandinavia. But I did work hard at the studying part, and all in Italian no less!

Yes sure you can. Or can you? I compare it to hiring a personal trainer at the gym. There’s no way I can beat myself up as hard as she does. Even if I have to drag myself to the gym, I know I must do it, because I paid for it and because I’m too lazy to do it on my own. Plus, it’s no secret how to lose weight or get fit. Yet so many people out there still hire personal trainers and buy fad diets because we live in the world where ‘quick and cheap fixes’ rule. Plus, so many people don’t even know what they want out of life. Through coaching you will. Then you will know how to align your life accordingly. You hire me and you will get your butt kicked and get results.

No, not at all! There are no geographical boundaries. As long as you have access to a telephone or to Skype, you can call me et voila.

Coaching takes place at my office in Abu Dhabi or over a phone/ Skype call typically lasting 30 minutes once a week.

Of course you can try a freebie for 15 minutes (or so) on the house. It comes with no obligation and it helps identify what your expectations and needs are and answer any questions you may have. This is also a good way for both coach and client to decide whether they can work well together. Some people are just not coachable. I don’t want to work with you if you are one of them. Go away. If you don’t have genuine desire to change and to do the work needed for that change to happen, then you don’t need to waste your money or the time of a life coach.

For coaching to be effective, we ask you to commit to a minimum of 3 months.

Habits take time. New ones you want to acquire or old habits you want to quit will only happen across a span of time. Your self-growth happens between the sessions not during the sessions. You come for coaching only 30 minutes a week, then you go out to your life. That’s where all the self-growth is going to happen, not during your session. Just imagine in 3 months, you will be powered by passion, intention and purpose to live your happy life.

When I hired my very first coach, I bought a year-long package. I too thought it was friggin’ expensive and that I can’t afford it. Then I had to take a minute to think about how much I value my life. Why would I feel guilty about spending all this money on MYSELF? It’s an investment you will treasure for the rest of your life like I did because this is just the beginning of the life you’ve always imagined.

100% guaranteed. I am a member of the International Coach Federation, ICF. It’s the leading global non-profit membership organization, dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high professional standards, providing independent certification, and building a network of credentialed coaches. It is formed for the purpose of building, supporting and preserving the integrity of the coaching profession and has published Standards of Ethical Conduct for coaches.

Be You International follows the International Coach Federation Standards of Ethical Conduct in all its coaching relationships and maintains strict confidentiality regarding all information provided by its clients.

Every now and then, I share a client’s story through a blog or social media post. But that happens only after explicit approval by the client.

Experiential learning is the most effective mode of delivering new skills for personal development. Lessons have the most impact if they are taught through direct experience. All the workshops and retreats I developed are based on experiential learning and loved by all who attends.

CTI and Harvard Medical Institute have partnered to show how the coactivity model is most beneficial scientifically. Coaching is the gap between where you are and where you want to be in any area of your life. Unlike therapy, coaching has a more positive, future oriented, partnership model with the client.
