I have done a pack of sessions with Tasneem in a very important moment of life, where I was making a shift in my career, that had impact in myself as a whole person.

Tasneem has been great to our team. Her behavioral approach to culture and managing employees is especially good for small and medium businesses like ours. The best part was when we did the mock coaching sessions. It was insightful and hands-on. I recommend Tasneem for all of your company culture and coaching needs.
