Why Marhaba?
Coming from Hospitality background, it was imperative to link and dot the connections thus the vision to name Marhaba was apt as:
It signifies my 23 years personal, educational, and working journey across 4 continents and living in over 12 cities with cultural diversity.
Marhaba simply means Welcome, and thus in coaching to be open and welcoming one’s thought is important.

What is Coaching?
I am not here to give you the answers because doing so would come from my own biases and life experiences, which does not acknowledge your values of understanding your life and how it works. Instead I want to spend this time with you learning about your experiences, thoughts and reflections so we can co-create solutions that make sense from your perspective and available choices.
This comparison would give one an idea of Coaching and guidelines for it.
