“Maryam is an amazing Life Coach...I say this because it’s true! She approaches coaching with empathy, compassion and her listening skills are impeccable. Often in life it is difficult to navigate complex experiences and set out on a trajectory towards goals, dreams and aspirations by oneself.

Having a coach brings clarity and motivation in the process of achievement. Maryam’s coaching has supported me in this endeavor. She is a highly in-depth and intuitive person. She has the ability to reflect the underlying meaning of my words in a spacious environment revealing truths about my position in life that sometimes I’m not even aware of. In doing so we have been able to clear out what has been holding me back from my goals in order to move me forward. I feel completely heard and understood by her.

She a true professional. Maryam has helped me move a long way in my life and I will continue to use her services for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend her; your life will be so much better by doing so!”

“My experience working with Emily as a career coach was fantastic. She really helped me hone in on problem areas within my resume through activities, collaborative thought, and specific questioning.

She also critiqued specific cover letters, working with me to assure that I was highlighting the most relevant information and conveying the value I could add to specific jobs.

I really can't speak highly enough of her process, which afforded me opportunities to understand what I was looking for in a job, how to convey my skills, and how best to highlight my talents.

Since working with Emily, I have a lot more confidence that I am putting my best foot forward in the job search process.”

“I could've continued with my ineffective lifestyle, blaming myself for not advancing in life and career, but I decided to try coaching, and it was the best decision I made.

Maryam helped me stand on my feet by making me self-aware of the positive aspects of my personality. She gives excellent activities curated for the finest outcome, making me see my potentials which were blurry before.

I learned how to overcome challenging problems by being mindful.

Maryam made me kinder to myself; I consider it a rare gift. After a few sessions, I saw substantial improvements in my career, and I began working on challenging tasks.”

“Emily has been a wonderful career coach while I have been looking for a full time job post graduation. From helping me to recognize my own skills to teaching me how to network on LinkedIn and strengthen my profile, the personal and professional growth that I have witnessed in these past few months was phenomenal thanks to Emily’s guidance.

Emily has not only armed me with the tools one would need to be successful, but she has also greatly increased my confidence, which is essential during a process that can seem so futile at times. Aside from career coaching, I have had the pleasure of knowing Emily as a mentor and friend before I became a client of hers, and her sincerity and compassion towards helping others thrive permeates everything that she does.”

“I reached out to Anh for life coaching when I was feeling burnt out, lost, and missing connection. The shift that 2020 brought had much bigger impacts on my work/home life than I truly understood. I also had a shift in my world with the birth of my child and wanted guidance to help me find meaning. I was trying to decide if I was amidst the wrong culture or if I was chasing something that truly didn't fit my desires.

Initially, it was not easy for me to reach out to a life coach because I viewed it as fluffy and almost like therapy which I didn't think I needed. However, after going through the process I'm grateful for the guidance Anh provided.

Working with Anh was effortless and I was able to let my guard down. She was able to see some things that should have been apparent to me but I was too close to the issue to grasp. Having a neutral party in your corner to help guide you and deal with your subconscious behavior is and has been highly valuable. “

“I had the pleasure of attending coaching sessions with Maryam.

She is so kind, gentle, patient, and thoughtful. I felt at ease with her almost immediately. She laid everything out clearly, professionally, and allowed space for each session to meet me where I was at.

Maryam is an incredible person in so many ways, and it was very special to experience the different sides of her all together in her role as a coach.

Can't recommend her more. Thank you Maryam!”

“At first I was reluctant to seek help from a career coach. Like many people, I am not great at asking for help when I need it.

As someone looking for direction in my career, it can be hard to even know what questions to ask.

Emily Steliotes…was helpful and understanding.

Through career assessments I was able to focus in on what lifestyle and industry I wanted to pursue. Getting an objective and thoughtful perspective helped me understand what goals to set and how to reach them.”

“Working with Emily was an excellent experience.

She invested time in listening to me to understand the nuances of my long-term career goals and took care to affirm and validate my thoughts and decisions.

At the same time, she offered new ways to consider my strongest skills as well as my values, helping me to visualize how I can approach new positions and job searching in the future.

As I’m interested in transitioning to a career in sustainability, her expertise in that field was invaluable.”

“To those concerned, it is my absolute pleasure to recommend Dr. Ghadiri as a transformational life coach. I worked with Maryam for a few months on a bi-weekly basis this summer and fall. She was accommodating of my hectic grad school schedule, and gave me the support I needed at that time.

She was professional and researched, and asked me each session if she was steering me in the direction I felt I needed to be steered in. We started with some reflective life mapping activities, and that helped me to open my eyes and understand what I wanted to focus on for the duration of our time, though each session was focused on something different, depending on my week.

I feel more confident to advocate for myself with Maryam's help, and to be mindful of my saboteurs and thought processes.

I felt and feel so supported by Dr. Ghadiri's thoughtfully thought provoking questions, and more than anything, all I can say is that I am a better person for the experience. “

“I did several coaching sessions with Emily throughout the last year of my PhD as I was preparing to search for a job.

Emily helped me have a clearer idea of what kind of position I wanted.

She also helped me navigate the job application process and the transition to no longer being a student.

I am pleased to say that I recently accepted a position and will be starting just weeks after finishing my PhD!”

“Emily is an excellent coach and is genuinely passionate about helping people identify and reach their career aspirations. She is truly invested in my career and has gone above and beyond to help me succeed. Emily provided a lot of practical advice during our coaching sessions that was immediately useful, and her feedback on my resume and cover letters was extremely valuable. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for guidance around your career!”

“Emily has been an excellent career coach for me, even before she was my coach. She listened intently to my interests and priorities in my job search, routinely sending me opportunities and learning resources, and providing me thorough feedback and suggestions for my professional and personal development.

Emily is methodical during our sessions and in her communications with me, while also being highly personable.

I have recommended her to my friend and will continue to recommend her to others!”
