workplace coaching with a corporate finance professional
“I came away feeling confident in my career decisions, with a renewed appreciation for my current role and location.”
“I am an experienced Chartered Accountant working within M&A Corporate Finance at a large multinational firm. At the time, I had recently been promoted, a major milestone in my career that significantly expanded my future options. I found myself at a career crossroads, needing to make important decisions about my next steps. To support this process, I sought career coaching from Nayyar Areehy. I was primarily considering whether to pursue a new career path in Private Equity, which would also require relocating to London. Nayyar skillfully guided me through the ABC coaching framework, helping me explore my options and gain clarity on what mattered most to me. Her approach allowed me to reach my own conclusions and make progress toward a decision that aligned with both my professional goals and personal values.
Before the coaching, I felt lost and anxious about what to do next. However, through our sessions, I came away feeling confident in my career decisions, with a renewed appreciation for my current role and location. I also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of work-life balance in my overall satisfaction. Thank you, Nayyar, for your thoughtful and empowering coaching. I would highly recommend her career coaching to anyone navigating a similar period of uncertainty or transition. “
workplace & home-life coaching
“Focussing on personal goals such as health and wellbeing helped me in both my personal and work life, as it built my confidence.”
“Coaching is something that I had considered previously, but didn’t really know how to go about it or where to find the right person. I work as an Office Manager/PA in a large department of a University and although my employer does provide coaching opportunities, they are very much directed at more senior management colleagues and for this reason, I had always felt that it probably wouldn’t be relevant for ‘someone like me’. I first met Nayyar socially and when she talked about her work it really struck a chord with me, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with her. I didn’t have a clear idea of what areas I wanted to focus on but with Nayyar’s advice and guidance, we agreed on a mixture of personal and work related goals. Like many women, I rarely take the time to focus on myself. Having a pre-arranged time in my diary to actually stop, think and consider myself and my personal goals was very helpful. Nayyar is very easy to talk to and she has a very calm, reassuring and non-judgemental manner. She has the knack of asking just the right questions, that help you focus and make you stop and think. What I found as a result of our sessions was that focussing on the more personal goals such as health and wellbeing, helped me in both my personal and work life as it helped to build my confidence. I would absolutely recommend Nayyar’s services and would encourage anyone considering coaching to have a chat with her.”
career coaching
“I now feel empowered to put in place the changes I want to make.”
“Following experiencing ‘burn out’ in my former corporate job where I was a head of department for a consulting firm, I took an extended career break to recover and consider what I’d like to do for the next stage of my career. Hopeful that I’d have an epiphany in the year and a half that I’d been off, when this eureka moment didn’t arrive, I became overwhelmed when faced with the prospect of what next; I was stagnant, procrastinative and somewhat confounded. Queue Naayur; following a brief conversation, I found myself in an impromptu coaching session where I was completing an ABC Model and, discussing values and change theory – we’ve had many discussions since. Offering a compassionate and non-judgemental ear, Naayur uses guidance, knowledge, and perspective to create a space which allows me to explore and express not only my emotions but also tangible actions and plans to evoke progress and embrace change. Her integrity and commitment to personal growth and acceptance make her an invaluable companion and elicitor of the changes I now feel empowered to put in place.”
