    APPROACH TO COACHING
    Tariq’s coaching practice is based on the deeply held belief that everyone has more potential than even they know. Coaching conversations help individuals and teams recognise this, begin to understand what this can mean for them, and ultimately enable them to realise their potential. Focussed on listening with real empathy, Tariq’s coaching work is person centred, seeking to really understand you as the unique individual that you are and the context in which you operate. Through conversation, connections are created to help you learn, grow and perform.

    ‘In the global role that I hold, I am constantly exploring business opportunities. I realised that I did not always invest the time and effort in myself that I did in the business. This led to me looking for a coach and being introduced to Tariq. We worked together to sharpen my focus around who I was as a leader and how I could really play to my strengths. Focus was important for me and Tariq was always focussed himself. I often could not believe how well he listened to me and reminded me what I had said or committed to far earlier in our conversations. I think the most important work we did together was around my energy and how I can harness this to achieve my goals.’
