Executive Coaching
Good at what you do. Probably great.
You're succeeding on the outside, but something underneath hasn't kept pace, and the further you go, the fewer people there are to think it through with. That's where this starts.

From
Off Course
Something keeps getting in the way and you cannot quite name it.
To
Landed
You leave knowing where you are strong, what has been slowing you down, and where you are going.
The work underneath the work.
Not your calendar or your org chart. The things that quietly shape everything else.
The relationship with yourself
The most important relationship you have, and the one that goes unexamined. When how you relate to yourself changes, how you lead changes with it. This is identity work, not behavior tweaks. It's the reason clients say, “I'm different now.”
Leading yourself first
True leadership starts from leading yourself. Before we touch how you handle the team, the board, or the decision, we get clear on how you handle you: under pressure, in uncertainty, when the stakes are real.
Becoming a coach-like leader
The skill more and more organizations now ask for: making people feel safe enough to think, grow, and do their best work. You'll experience it in these sessions, and learn to bring it to your own people.

Identifying and building on your strengths
It starts before the words.
What it really is
Leadership communication is internal before it's external. How clearly you see yourself shapes how clearly you land with others.
The breakdowns Maryam sees
Over-explaining, hedging, withholding the hard thing, or sounding certain while feeling unsure. These patterns trace back to an unclear inner signal.
How EQ changes it
Emotional intelligence turns reaction into choice. You read the room, regulate under pressure, and say the true thing plainly.
Built for the roads that weren't built for you.
The routes that worked for others don't always translate. Visibility, authority, and the cost of being read differently are specific terrain, and pretending otherwise helps no one.
The patterns Maryam sees
Over-functioning, second-guessing earned authority, and carrying an invisible load that never makes it into the strategy deck.
What changes in sessions
A steadier relationship with your own authority, so you lead from conviction rather than from proving.
Lived credibility
Maryam coaches from research and EQ certification, and from having come through her own transitions across countries and cultures. Experience as texture, not a pitch.
“Maryam helped me navigate complex leadership challenges with clarity and confidence. Her insight, empathy, and strategic guidance were invaluable.”
A clear, finite engagement.
Discovery Session
One question worth sitting with, answered honestly, then you choose your time. A first conversation to understand where you actually are, not where you think you are.
The Engagement
A focused 3–6 month partnership. Regular 1:1 sessions built on the GPS principle: you rarely need someone to hand you all the answers, you need the space, challenge, and perspective to reach better ones yourself.
Investment
Priced per engagement, not off a rate card. Premium, personal, and deliberately limited: Maryam takes a small number of clients so each one gets the depth. You will have the number before you commit to anything.
“My time with Maryam has been the most impactful leadership training I've received in my career to date. She brings a unique mix of professionalism, expertise, humor, and directness that fosters an immediate level of trust.”
Questions, answered
- Is this advice or consulting?
- Neither. Coaching is a partnership in awareness. Maryam doesn't hand you a framework. She helps you see what's already there.
- Do I need to be an executive?
- No. The work suits anyone carrying real responsibility for other people or for a decision that matters, whether you lead now or are growing into it.
- Where do sessions happen?
- Online, wherever you lead from. Delivery is in English or Farsi.
