"Shakir was immensely helpful in my adjustment process of becoming an Executive Director; from helping me reimagine how the organization was structured, to advising on the managing and developing of my team, and through supporting my individual professional growth. He is results-driven and devoted to improving the world through each of his clients. I marvel at his ability to inspire, his ability to innovate, his sense of adventure and his remarkable skill in pushing me and my big-ideas along from concept to completion.” - Executive Director of National Nonprofit"Shakir’s advice and guidance came at a critical time for me. I was a new Executive Director starting a nonprofit and going through an interesting transition period from a larger organization. His probing questions and his listening ear always led to meaningful discussions on wide range of topics. Whether it was my personal growth, operational, or any other management issue, Shakir’s executive experience, insight, and humor during our discussions were always valuable and timely. I am incredibly thankful of his support when things were tough and our celebratory conversations after some wins." - Executive Director of Pre-Apprenticeship Construction-Training Program"I received career coaching from Shakir as I was navigating the process of leading a non-profit as Interim Executive Director during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Working with Shakir was invaluable during this time. Many of our calls focused on ways that I could support my mental health and reduce the stress of feeling like I needed to put everything on my plate. When my board of directors decided to hire a new executive director over myself, Shakir supported me in the process of onboarding my replacement. He also helped cultivate my confidence to apply for jobs at national non-profits which resulted in me being hired in a new role which has significantly furthered my career goals. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity that I received to work with Shakir and would recommend him as a coach." - Interim Executive Director of Children Advocacy Organization

About

Early in my career, I yearned support and guidance from a mentor who could deeply empathize with the mental “overediting” and double consciousness of navigating the workplace. Through years of coaching, mentoring, and research, I have been able to transform my inner world and consistently show up authentically without self-doubt. I bring this valuable experience and my passion for personal growth to my coaching practice.Typical Clients
