“Yousef’s coaching showed me how important a guided and well structured planning is for your career. I picked Yousef as a coach because of his deep experience in the tech industry and his international background. These two combined provides a comprehensive yet practical vision as to what skills one would need in order to navigate through the convoluted maze of the corporate environment. While I was focused on my day-today tasks and a single long term objective, Yousef showed me other paths that were available and different strategies I could use to achieve my goals. At the end of each session, I left with some exercises, exploratory thoughts and new resources to review before the next session. I highly recommend working with Yousef to plan your career in advance, rather than going with the flow.”

“Yousef is qualified professional coach who is empathetic and an active listener. He offers practical solutions and strategic insights for managing your career based on decades of experience working in corporate America, specifically in the technology sector. He also offers positive perspectives on how to handle work challenges related to teams, projects and bosses at different stages of one’s career. I highly recommend working with Yousef if you are a mid-career professional or an executive seeking to move to the next level of your professional development.”

“I hit a crossroad in my professional career and reached out to Yousef as a former colleague knowing about his transformation of becoming a professional life coach. Considering that we come from the same tech background, Yousef was able to relate to my challenges right away and share his experiences he went through which in a sense put me more at ease. He’s sincere, empathetic, an amazing listener, and makes sure we are aligned with every topic and issue we talk about. He always asks if he can share his opinions or experiences which I find very respectful. He’s helped clarify my thoughts and open up paths to explore what truly makes me happy in life. And has helped me put all things in perspective with respect to my professional and personal life. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made to reach out to Yousef.”

“Yousef is an amazing coach. He is attentive and always open to feedback on how to help you grow and learn new techniques. I increased my awareness among other things, helping me to be a better leader with his help. If you are looking for a great Executive coach, I highly recommend working with Yousef. You will not be sorry!”

“I’ve worked in finance successfully for over a decade, and had reached a point where purpose and passion was missing from my career. I’m a practical person, and was wary of working with a life coach. In my mind a life coach was someone who gave soft, feel-good advice that didn’t translate into anything practical. I was wrong. Yousef is warm, approachable, and incredibly perceptive. Within one session he helped me make sense of some of my frustrations and was able to identify things that were standing in my way of me achieving what I wanted. This alone would have made the experience worth it. But Yousef uses lessons from his own successful history in technology and management to build useful and achievable next steps that, as I’ve applied them, have truly changed my life. Five stars aren’t enough to describe how valuable working with Yousef has been for me. Thank you, Yousef. You are a gift.”

“You owe it to yourself and loved ones to work with Yousef! It’s rare to find someone so caring, creative and generous. He’s been amazing as I navigate a career change and a challenging long distance move. I’m sure he saved me 6-12 months of frustration. I highly recommend!”

“I started working with Yousef a few months ago and have had a lot of success in our meetings. Yousef has been able to work with me on personal growth, work life balance, and how to better myself in my work environment. He has a candid yet sensitive approach that really helps us get to the bottom of things during our coaching sessions. His previous experience with managing up and managing down with large teams has really helped me understand a better work dynamic. I have a better understanding of my career path and this in turn has helped me to be a better asset at work and to my clients.”

I'm frequently asked what the best topics are to discuss during a coaching session. I understand why people want a list of "best" questions, but actually, the most useful topics will be tailored for your situation at home, work, or both.
I frequently get asked is whether or not there is a formula, procedure, or even exact steps that can be used to stop us from getting riled up, especially during a heated discussion. It’s often explained me like this: I get upset or even angry when people don’t accept my ideas and argue back. When I get upset, I don’t respond well and I get stressed out.
