Raw

Real, Raw Conversations

We start with building a solid relationship with the client. The first session is all about getting to know one another before diving in. This helps to create a safe space for the client to open up about the real issue they are facing. Each conversation between coach and client is goal oriented, where the coach will start by asking the client what they'd like to accomplish by the end of their session that day.

Insights

Deep Insights

The coach is solely focused on listening and observing the client, to help them discover insights. An insight is a deep understanding about a person or thing (quote dictionary). Insights are essential to the coaching process as they allow clients to see their worlds differently, from perspectives and angles they have not considered (because of their own perceptions, biases, assumptions and beliefs). Once an insight is discovered, the coach and client will co-create the next steps, whether they decide if they want to move towards an action or continue discovering more insights.

Shift

Shift Energy

Often, we get in our own way of identifying and achieving our goals. This could be because of what we learned growing up, the influence of those in our inner circle, external factors outside of our control and even our inner critic that judges us and tells us in some way or another that we're not good enough or capable. As a COR.E Energy Coach, Raihana is also focused on observing any shifts in energy and gently encouraging the client to shift their energy through listening to the client, making them feel heard and understood and asking the client thought provoking, empowering questions. While there is no good or bad energy, the less stress and negative emotions we have in our day to day, the more (energetically) fueled we will be to act on our goals and implement positive change in our behaviors, interactions and life at large.

Execute

Execute Actions

Before the end of each coaching conversation, Raihana will work with you to identify action items that you will take to progress towards your goal identified earlier in the session. Raihana will work with you to get specific and centered about each action item, so you will leave the session knowing exactly what you need to accomplish, by when your actions will be completed, and how you will hold yourself accountable.

Utilize

Utilize Resources

Your coaching journey expands way beyond the coaching sessions that you'll have with Raihana. In addition to your time with Raihana, you will have access to coaching resources tailored to your specific needs. You will be encouraged to use these resources in between coaching sessions. These resources will help you access your intuition, define your life purpose and mission, get clarity on what you really want, and help you develop short/long term goals to help you structure your life. These resources include but are not limited to: understanding & reprioritizing your values, setting goals like a pro, creating your ideal version of yourself, wheel of life, wheel of leadership, vision board and more.

Propel

Propel Yourself Forward and Repeat

You will develop unstoppable belief in yourself through deep introspection between sessions. Coaching works best when you fully take the lead in your transformation journey. Part of that is creating dedicated time to reflect on your own thoughts, which will help you build and increase your self awareness. The more self aware you are, the more able you will be to catch yourself in the moment and consciously decide what behavior you will exhibit or what action/decision you will make. And when you get stuck along the way, Raihana is always a resource in your toolkit who you can access when you decide to.

I initially connected with Raihana because it was great to see her create a space for women and persons of color to level up their presence in Tech. I was eager to learn more about coaching could unlock for me, especially during a time of career transition.

During our discovery chat, Raihana asked good probing questions about my current goals and targets and helped me to see some good immediate term actions that would help add up to bigger aspirations. She stressed the importance of the client setting the tone and direction of actions, and it was a really constructive experience to take an experienced professional's perspective and guidance as I navigate challenges. If you are looking to open your perspective and make active strides towards career goals, I recommend chatting with Raihana
