A 12-session journey built for people rebuilding their career on their own terms.
I'm a Co-Active Professional Coach based in Dubai, and also a writer, researcher, and visual artist. Before coaching, I trained as a chemical engineer, then moved into innovation and entrepreneurship. That path, through several fields and a few reinventions, is part of why I believe in this process. It brings me real fulfillment to create spaces like this, ones where people get to feel alive again and start discovering who they actually want to become.
This work brings together two proven methods: the deep self-inquiry of Co-Active coaching, and the practical, design-thinking tools of Bill Burnett and Dave Evans' Designing Your Life. The first six sessions help you understand who you are underneath the job title. The next six help you design a working life built around that. Both phases can stand alone, but taken together, they form a complete arc from self-knowledge to a concrete plan.
Twelve sessions across two phases. Each session is 200 AED and can be booked on its own, though the two phases are designed to build on one another.

Honestly, when I started the coaching sessions I wasn't expecting that you'll help me to know myself more, you helped me also to listen to my intuition and be aligned with it no matter what, and it doesn't matter if others understand it or not. Thank you for helping me to be closer to myself 🤍
My coaching sessions with Shaima have been truly valuable and eye opening. Through our sessions, I've gained a deeper understanding of my goals in life, my passions, and the values I want to uphold. More importantly, Shaima gave me practical tools and guidance to consistently live by those values and turn them into meaningful actions in my everyday life. I'm genuinely grateful for the perspective and clarity she has helped me gain.
Before you commit to either phase, we spend an hour together so you can feel how this coaching works and ask anything you want. No cost, no obligation.
