Irene has been my coach for a year. The journey with her has helped me find meaning during a career setback and use it as a catalyst to make an impact in the world aligned with my authentic dreams. I greatly appreciated her coaching style, her calm determination in helping me discover parts of myself and achieving my goals. In every session, I could feel her power and authority, her confidence in guiding me to maintain focus on my vision and take action towards it. Irene is surrounded by a special spiritual aura that reaches you in every session, instilling a sense of peace and fostering confidence, especially in the most challenging moments of stagnation.  I found the meditations provided during the program to be very helpful in allowing me to access unconscious parts of myself and thereby live a more fulfilling life. If you are seeking an executive coach with years of experience who can attentively and professionally assist you in discovering your higher purpose and up leveling your business I strongly suggest working with Irene.

Being coached and supervised by Irene for an extended period of time has brought a great clarity and understanding to me, the processes I use and the important things at each step of coaching. When I started to work with her I was all over the place, my nervous system was triggered by even slightest mistakes and my unforgiving voices kept me stuck and spinning in circles. Her coaching, expertise, understanding of the trauma and her ability to create an open and learning environment even when in the process of transforming the deepest memories has elevated me to a new state of being. She always brings a calming, caring and profoundly deep presence. If you are looking for a coach that can help you gain clarity, regulation and bring results Irene is the one for you. 

I’ve been having coaching sessions with Irene for around a year now; our focus was more on executive/career coaching and some life coaching as well. They way she coaches me change the way of how I feel & act about my struggles in business and she helped to feel better about myself. She makes me reach to a solution by myself or even sometimes she help me realized that what ever I was facing wasn’t a real issue it was only the way I was thinking. She makes the sessions very smooth, and she makes me feel comfortable exposing myself, talking and explaining without shame or shyness. Her wisdom, kindness, thorough experience, understanding, and creativity made every coaching session an exceptional & very beneficial experience. I finish every session with a big smile and full of power and confidence to face anything.

I have known Irene for since 2009, when she commissioned my company to design and deliver some management development training for her. Irene is someone who has superb leadership skills with an ability to diagnose problems and design and implement solutions. She is also a visionary, being able to pinpoint strategies to future proof an organization. I have had the pleasure of hearing Irene speak to small and large groups of people. She is able to engage her audience and bring them along with her on an interesting and exciting journey. I have not hesitation in recommending Irene an asset to any organization.

Irene is a highly knowledgeable and professional HR practitioner. I had the unique opportunity to work closely with her during her tenure with Al Fahim Group to build from the ground up various Talent Management frameworks for the organization. It was a challenging yet enjoyable project where Irene constantly demonstrated professionalism, dedication, attention to detail, organizational awareness, and propensity to learn. As such, the project was a learning experience for me as a consultant as well, and not just a service provision engagement. I would hope to have the opportunity to work with Irene again in the future.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Irene in two separate organizations as an external service provider where her level of professionalism and depth of knowledge ensured that the talent development requirements and the achieved deliverables were optimized for maximum return on the company’s investment through enhanced employee engagement.Irene not only talks the talk but truly walks the walk and is always aspiring to build on her existing knowledge, skills and education for the betterment of the people around her.I also worked alongside Irene as a guest speaker at a Middlesex University Dubai Career Planning workshop where her contribution of sharing industry insights to the students and staff proved invaluable to all in attendance.If I had to sum Irene up in three words, they would be: Professional (constantly delivering on her word to the highest standards and up to date methodologies) - Authentic (what you see is what you get and) - Versatile (she is able to adapt to all people in any given situation to achieve the desired outcome)Irene’s positivity is infectious, and she is a real asset to have on any team. I very much look forward to the opportunity of collaborating with her again.

She is an excellent facilitator, very sharp and to the point. Students and alumni of Middlesex University Dubai have found her sessions to be very valuable, engaging and informative. Her contribution as a guest speaker at Middlesex University is extremely valuable for several workshops, events and seminars. Irene is an absolute pleasure to work with.
