Being coached by Jihane Labib at this juncture in my professional life was a true privilege. I signed up for the CoachingLab Academyto become a certified coach at a time when I was leading a complex operation with multiple stakeholders and organizational cultures. Jihane's one-year course helped me explore my own blind spots on personal and professional levels. Knowledge and insights from the Coaching Lab sessions helped crystalize my internal campus as I sought to achieve my professional goals and not lose track of the many other personal and relational things that count in my pursuit of fulfillment.
As a coach and instructor, she has demonstrated deep knowledge of both the theory and practice of coaching as aligned with the International Coaching Federation standards. I would recommend Jihane as an executive team coach for many reasons. She is a genuine and authentic growth partner. Her mastery of her field results from a rich professional experience in business management; a long journey of studious self-discovery, reflection, and research; personal stories of resilience and turnaround; deep empathy that often characterizes human beings who have experienced trials and tribulations and used that experience to better their lives and the lives of others; an unwavering faith in the resourcefulness of her clients; and last, but not least, genuine humility that connects her to the individuals and teams she works with.
Many of us navigate volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity with variable successes and setbacks. As we become connected on professional aspects, we lose other vital bonds and connections on other aspects. Jihane has the resources, the social and emotional intelligence, and the call to help current and future clients take control of their lives, achieve self-fulfillment, and be a source of joy and satisfaction to themselves and others. Thank you very much, Jihane. It was a blessing to meet you, and I look forward to more years of mutually rewarding collaboration.
