Reviews
Saniya is an amazing coach. She is warm and validating, but also gives really helpful feedback where it is necessary. She comes to each session very prepared, and we get a lot done every time because every session is so personalized. She's also very responsive if I have any questions in between sessions, and I feel like I'm not alone anymore while going through this grueling job search process. She has helped relieve a lot of my fear and anxiety through both encouraging support and tactical advice. She also has so much experience in the professional world, and her advice has been helpful not just for job search, but also to help me succeed in my career long-term. I highly recommend her and I'm extremely grateful to be able to have Saniya as my coach.

Saniya's advice & coaching is something that'll stick with you well beyond your sessions. She's soft but firm and challenges you with a guiding hand to figure anything out. I've grown confident enough to lead & prepare for meetings with Leadership, to stand firm on my decisions, and most importantly, how to keep boundaries and say no without severing the working relationship, and still providing a mutually beneficial solution. While working with Saniya, she was able to teach me how to strategically approach various scenarios, anywhere from providing feedback upwards to providing not-so-great news to stakeholders that I still use in my professional roles today. In every interaction, I felt heard, respected, and came out feeling smarter than when I started. Working with Saniya is an experience that has forever changed me for the better and I'd wish this kind of coaching for everyone. You will learn a ton, even with a singular session!

Saniya is amazing. I love connecting with her. She has a way of filtering through all of my thoughts to the critical point and helping me define it further as well as make improvements. Her guidance is invaluable and actionable. My growth over the past year has been noticed by my own boss as well as other management.

Saniya is truly a coach that is cheering you on! She talks out your concerns with you in a direct, but gentle way. I could see myself only having her guidance in my career path. I can't wait for the next session!

Saniya broke down the daunting task of elevating my resume into bite sized pieces. I was seeking help because I am in the process of pivoting my career and didn't know how to tell my work history in a cohesive manner. Not only did Saniya help me do this, she also got into the nitty gritty to help craft more compelling bullet points (rather than simply listing an accomplishment). She is friendly, professional, enthusiastic and such a whiz. I definitely recommend her to those who seek guidance revamping their resume or navigating a career transition.

I can't say enough good things about Saniya as a coach. When I started my first session with her, I was lost and very disorganized on my priorities regarding my career, balancing my early-stage start-up, and my other side hustles. Throughout my first few sessions with Saniya, she helped me figure out what was most important to me and where I wanted to focus my time. She gave me tangible exercises to execute this and has been an invaluable resource as I have shifted my focus to marketing for my start-up. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the marketing and start-up landscape and helps you take small steps forward so that it doesn't feel overwhelming. For anyone looking for a coach in this space, I highly recommend working with Saniya!!
