M. I Investment Banking Senior Associate

“I had never thought about taking a coaching program, but when I took one of Wafa’s workshops about prioritizing our goals, it reminded me of how much I craved change in my work life. At the time, I felt frustrated about my job, exhausted, and lacked the confidence and structure to make a switch.

We've had a strong six-month run. A few words that would describe my program would be: relevant, self-growth, regaining control. Between my hectic banking schedule and my travel plans, Wafa has managed to keep me accountable and focused on my career transition plan. The value of Wafa’s program has gone far beyond my expectation and what I had in mind. It targets the core problems and prioritizes not just my career but also my personal goals. We focused on my energy levels, managing my time at work, my confidence levels, my pitching skills, building my resume, cover letter, and networking in an authentic manner.

Best thing about working with Wafa is that you learn to connect with your authentic self and find answers on your own. She doesn't take the advisor role to tell you what you should and should not do, rather, simply asks you questions so you understand what works for you and what doesn't.

Things are now moving forward. In comparison with a few months ago, I feel confident and realize that I no longer feel pressured or stressed about taking on interviews. I just had my first HR interview in my dream industry for a role with better work life balance. I am bittersweet about these sessions being over, but it's a good sign because I now feel in control of my life and excited to start my career change!”
