But don’t take my word for it, take it from a recent client of mine:
"It's been a great overall experience. What I found incredibly helpful is the anchoring around specific frameworks to help me think through complex matters and structure crucial conversations. It's been a great dynamic
with me feeling it's my thoughts, ideas, and perspective, but Navid helped me to define outcomes, with a call or path to action when necessary. Our executive coaching engagement worked really well, and I'd highly recommend Navid to any executive who's looking to maximise their leadership impact.”
