TRANSFORM WITH MINDFULNESS

Deanne: Hi, this is Deanne with numi.com, the professional coach directory, and today I have the great pleasure of speaking with Samir Alvey. How are you doing today, Samir?

Sameer: Hello all. I'm doing good, Deanne. How are you?

Deanne: I am doing wonderful. Thank you so much for asking me. Uh, so why don't we jump into our conversation today, and I would really love for you to tell us about your ideal client.

Sameer: Yeah. So my ideal client would be someone who is in an executive or a leadership position and really wants to tweak their workflow or work on their work ethics or thinks that they're stuck in a place because of limiting beliefs and so on.

Deanne: Wonderful. And how do you help your clients to succeed? Is there a certain process you like to use?

Sameer: Uh, good question. Thanks, Deanne. Um, so my style of coaching is essentially, so there's a lot of reflective work that goes on during the session and as. I mean, there is a degree of belief that if the answers or solution comes from the clients per se, then they're more likely to follow it. So yeah, I would call myself as a proactive coach.

Deanne: So what is some feedback that you've had from past clients?

Sameer: The feedback has been amazing, especially when they get into a reflective space, and once they get to a point where the reflection comes up, that really the beliefs can be a big hindrance in their way ahead or in their resourcefulness ahead. That is a big aha moment for them, and that truly causes transformation.

Deanne: That is definitely some great feedback. So what is your background, Samir, and how did you find your way into coaching?

Sameer: I essentially qualified as a dentist, and dental anxiety is what got me interested in coaching. A friend of mine got me interested in coaching, and I started working with the dental anxiety side of my patients, and that really got me interested in transformation and, yeah, coaching per se.

Deanne: Wonderful. Well, thank you so much for joining me today. It was a pleasure speaking with you and getting to know more about you.

Sameer: Thanks, Deanne. Pleasure was all mine.
