What do you do as a consultant/coach?

Our Purpose Coaching and Consulting supports social justice leaders and organizations—especially those rooted in or serving the American Muslim community—to gain clarity, build capacity, and lead with purpose when you’re facing your biggest challenges.

What is your approach? 

My approach is based on building the kind of trusting, dynamic, and collaborative relationships that support organizations and leaders to transform. I follow the lead of my clients, adapting to their needs, work rhythm, and culture. My goal is to support their vision, by supporting them in taking time amid the everyday fires to look at the big picture and systems in their organization, and to take some of the work off their shoulders that keeps these big picture projects from getting off the ground.

How has your experience/background contributed to your work?

I have a deep passion for helping others on an individual and/or organizational level, and have built my career doing so. I am a certified coach, consultant, facilitator, advocate, and community-oriented leader. I have over 20 years of experience in working in or consulting for nonprofit organizations in the areas of operations, and organizational development (strategy, building organizational culture, trainings in areas of supervision and so on). I am known for getting things done, helping individuals or organizations live up to their potential, and creating spaces that allows folks to focus on what is important in a fun, safe way.
