Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant & Expert Facilitator
Bio
Being a leader is indisputably hard. The world is becoming more complex & change continues to be the norm & not the exception, so the need for being the best version of yourself as a leader at work & home is higher than ever before. Leading a team or organization requires effort, commitment and for you to put your best foot forward. Navigating change and ambiguity can be challenging. Celebrating your strengths and superpowers takes ego strength & courage. Working past your inner critics is an ongoing practice. These — and for many more reasons — are why leadership can be indisputably hard. With the right Coach, it doesn’t have to be like this.
With over a decade of experience in Leadership Development and Coaching, Maryam helps leaders unlock the best version of themselves. She has supported and made an impact on the lives of people at companies such as: Apple, NBCUniversal and The Walt Disney Company & around the world in countries such as: Korea, Singapore, Canada, The UK, China, India, Costa Rica, France & the United States. Her experience with innovative, high volume & fast-paced organizations have evolved her into the passionate and committed leader she is today.
Maryam holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from California State University, Fullerton & a Masters of Science in Organization Development from Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business. She is a certified coach and a graduate of the Co-Active Coach Training & Certification program and holds the Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) designation, one of the most highly respected and sought-after certifications in the coaching industry & accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). She has also received her PCC (Professional Certified Coach) accreditation from ICF, which means she has completed over 125 hours of coach-specific education and 500+ hours of client-coaching experience. As of today, this number is continuously growing and currently sits at over 600+ hours. The ICF is to coaches what the American Medical Association (AMA) is to doctors or the American Psychological Associate (APA) is to psychologists, therapists and counselors. She also is a Certified Practitioner of the Enneagram Assessment and the Leadership Circle Profile 360º Assessment. Maryam pairs her education, her experience and her expertise with these assessments to provide deep insights for leaders, uncover new levels of leadership effectiveness & create awareness of blind spots and reveal untapped potential -- igniting positive and sustainable change for the leader, their team(s), companies & communities.
While Maryam is a global citizen at heart, she and her dog Kingston are physically based out of sunny Los Angeles, CA.
