💡 Current Specialization

Hasan’s expertise is in coaching and facilitating, bringing with him the requisite experience and skills acquired during the corporate life he came from.
​
​His focus is on CEO coaching.

In coaching clients (either 1:1 coaching, group coaching or team coaching) to achieve their goals, Coach Hasan predominantly facilitates a process called Best Year Yet® that is geared towards breaking through barriers, finding what are important to the clients, and inspiring them to create the results they want. Using this process, he draws out the clients’ own wisdom, values and insight, enabling the clients’ plans and their living of their life to be meaningful and focused on what matters most to them.

Also, Muslim senior leaders benefit from his coaching that reinforces their spiritual path, enhancing their professional and personal life. With non-Muslim clients, similarly they receive benefit of reinforcement of universal values that he may not necessarily use Islamic terminology.
