Career confidence coaching for mid-life women

Hello, My name is Sadia Ghazanfar. I’m an accredited executive coach (PCC with the International Coach Federation) and a certified mental fitness coach with experience in coaching leaders, managers and high-potential individuals (1000+ coaching hours).

I specialise in working with women who are experiencing imposter syndrome when taking on new responsibilities, transitioning to a new role or changing career paths. I help them to maximise strengths, increase self-confidence and embody personal leadership.

As a strategic thinking partner, I draw on my experience of living and working cross-culturally and working in business operations, leadership and HR roles. This combined with my coaching credentials means I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges that women face in the workplace and practical solutions to overcome internal barriers.

For the last 5 years, I have coached women across the world (UK, Europe, USA & Middle East) in a variety of industries including professional services, STEM, real estate, media, telecommunication and academia. Clients include Ford Motors, Amazon, Booking.com and Lululemon.

My coaching style
I am skilled at building trust and creating psychological safety quickly. My clients regularly share how my listening skills and empathic nature help them shift perspective and open up to new possibilities. I work collaboratively and creatively with the ‘whole person’ (their thoughts, feelings, behaviours) leading to better self-understanding, awareness of inner reactions (saboteurs), greater clarity of the situation and a practical, generative way forward.

My coaching style is described as empowering, thought-provoking and mind-body-centred. I blend Western science (neuroscience and positive psychology) with Eastern wisdom (somatic mind-body-soul practices, spirituality and visualisation).

Typical coaching topics include:
Leadership style, creating a compelling vision, creating a personal brand, enhancing decision-making, improving emotional intelligence, developing emotional regulation, confidence building, influencing skills, presenting, resilience and inner game.

I offer 1:1 and group coaching, workshops and courses to individuals and organisations.
