Good to
meet you
No one just “is”. We become, are, and become again. Each of us has a story to tell, so let me tell you a bit more about mine, as well as my coaching philosophy and mission.
As life goes…
From the very beginning, my life has been defined by constant change. Although I was born in Iran and expected to follow a traditional Persian lifestyle, circumstances led me to grow up in Cologne from the age of two, as a boy of mixed Persian and German heritage.
My childhood was far from easy. I lacked many basic necessities, such as parents who lived together or were equipped for parenthood. My parents had fled their homeland to escape the horrors of war and death. Consequently, I faced considerable hardship and suffering throughout my first two decades, with very little support to rely on.
As is often the case in such stories, my mother was the only constant and positive presence in my life, along with occasional acts of kindness from family members, friends, and even strangers.
While I would never wish such a life upon any child, it did enable me to develop my skills, intellect, compassion, and polymathic nature, as well as instilling in me a drive for self-education from a young age. One of my personal mottos has been: "I never let a degree stand in the way of my education," which holds even truer now in the age of the internet than ever before. In addition to honing my intellectual and polymathic abilities, I also developed emotional intelligence and a compassionate nature. I became adept at quickly reading people, accepting them for who they are without judgment, and showing kindness whenever possible. These are valuable qualities that have served me well in my personal and professional life, and they have helped me to help many people throughout my life.
The second half of my life has therefore been vastly different from the first. I took control of my destiny, gaining perspective and clarity on what I wanted out of life. I established a sense of purpose and structure, which allowed me to become a beacon of light for those who are lost or have strayed from their paths, wandering in darkness. It has become my mission to help others find their way and overcome the challenges that life inevitably throws their way. Through my experiences, I have learned that with determination, resilience, and compassion, anything is possible.
Throughout my life, I have served as a coach and mentor, developing various systems, principles, and programs to assist individuals and groups on their journeys. Over time, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise, supporting people in various ways and helping them overcome their challenges.
In recent years, I have shifted my focus to supporting leaders. Can you guess why? The reason is simple. Leaders hold a unique position of influence and responsibility, with the power to impact the lives of many individuals, including their teams, organizations, customers, and even entire communities. As such, I believe that by helping leaders become their best selves, I can have the greatest possible impact on the world. By empowering leaders to lead with authenticity, kindness, integrity, and purpose, we create positive change and inspire others to do the same.
While I've given you a brief glimpse into my life so far, there's much more to the story that I'd be happy to share with you sometime. But before that, I'm interested in hearing your story. Whenever you feel like opening up and chatting, I'm all ears and ready to listen.
As your coach and partner in growth, my aim is to provide a listening ear, unwavering support, and practical guidance to help you achieve your goals. Together, we'll explore your strengths, opportunities, and potential areas for improvement.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, and to equip you with the skills, mindset, and resilience needed to thrive as a next generation leader. So if you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
