Client Feedback

Change Advantage helped shape and deliver powerful messages to build deep authentic connections, promoting mutual business benefits and individuals' growth.

There is no doubt in my mind that Saima's coaching was instrumental in helping me to find the best outcome.

Aamir has been there as I have grown as a leader and provided insight, guidance and support to me personally and to the wider management team. Much of the work relates to having the clarity and confidence to strive for your purpose and really make a difference in our partnership, industry and the wider world. Aamir’s help in planning strategic sessions and getting the most from people has been invaluable.

Saima is a very confident and mature person that shows great ability to stay client focused in her coaching; Saima has my strong recommendations!

Over the period of working with Change Advantage I have benefited significantly from a thoughtful, individually tailored mentoring and support programme to help me grow into the key responsibilities of a senior role within my organisation. Led by Aamir, this programme includes becoming secure in the basics, layering-in new concepts and receiving on-going ad-hoc support for specific management challenges that arise when working as a business leader. Aamir’s insightful approach always makes his input feel relevant to your specific needs, both in terms of immediate goals and the long-term objectives.

Saima is an amazing coach and it’s truly been a great experience working with her. With real presence… she demonstrates profound, sensitive listening and inspiring energy as well as keeping the rigorous ethical rules.

I have to admit [Saima’s] presence on ICF conference was one of the best moments and reasons to attend.  Keep going with such good Light.

It is clear from working with Aamir that he has a wealth of experience in dealing with the development of both people and teams. I regularly enter into development discussions with Aamir thinking I am dealing with very unique circumstances, but leave feeling empowered with knowledge and perspective that helps me develop solutions. I have been working with Aamir for about 20 years, and over that period regard the engagements as a partnership. He knows our business, knows the markets we operate in and is very aware of the clients we serve. He therefore has the context for our discussions which has proved invaluable over the last 2 years through the pandemic when face to face engagements have not been possible – our engagements have continued without any loss of value. (Having said that,) Off-site works best. A walk in the park, a table in a coffee house or a tour of a museum have all unlocked perspective and ideas, beyond what might have been possible in the office/ video. Much of the learning I take from the engagement is self-development. Simply appointing Change Advantage is not going to “magic” away the issues. People and leaders need to appreciate that the solution is within, and the skills of Change Advantage help us unlock those solutions.

I have been working with Saima for a few months now and have found a level of self-awareness that I didn’t think possible.  As a result I have been able to take my career in different, sometimes surprising directions, driven by really understanding my purpose, guided by my core values and therefore unlocking my true potential.  I have been able to see opportunities, discuss my value with my manager and grab opportunities I would have missed before.  It’s been a deep but most enlightening journey. Highly recommend spending time with Change Advantage to unlock your full potential – thank you!

I had the great fortune of having Aamir as a professional coach when I took on a senior role leading a large client contract.  He effectively facilitated conversations that connected my role to my own purpose, which elevated my perceptions and performance. He skilfully facilitated workshops with a select cohort of future leaders that lifted the group out of their day-to-day challenges and onto a higher plane of strategic thinking with a focus on collaborative behaviours.  A testament to his effectiveness is that after four facilitated sessions, the group came together autonomously, and the conversation remained powerfully positive and insightful.  Whilst working with Aamir, I led the contract to exceed commercial targets by 20% and was promoted!

Saima did an inspirational contribution to our conference! I sincerely loved it from the bottom of my heart.

I have to admit [Saima’s] presence on ICF conference was one of the best moments and reasons to attend.  Keep going with such good Light.

It was another well-presented and productive workshop…. As ever, it's always good and a pleasure to be in your company and I genuinely look forward to working with you again.

My experience of Saima has been gathered through a number of ‘team-building/behavioural’ type sessions and more recently from some 1 to 1 coaching I have received.The team building sessions are well structured and thought through, often including exploratory discussions which are used to flush out issues, challenges, approaches or behaviours which are then cleverly all brought together in the final few sessions allowing the participants to build on them to improve their performance/ teamwork.   The 1 to 1 coaching sessions have really challenged me to look inside myself to unlock those areas that I have kept bottled up and to explore them in a safe environment, with gentle probing questions from Saima, to try and understand the root causes and then talk them through. I have had some real ‘light bulb’ moments during these coaching sessions which has allowed me to adjust how I approach some everyday situations, a really great result for me.

I have enjoyed our partnering together and appreciate your passion, professionalism and precision.

In our business, people are our greatest assets. Aamir has a wonderful skill at giving them a platform to showcase their talents to our prospective customers. I have been part of several team- working sessions hosted by Aamir – in person and held remotely - each one innovative, bespoke and collaborative. The sessions draw the audience in and get to the nub of what makes our customer and its teams tick. Outputs give us the tools and direction to deliver compelling solutions and an unrivalled customer experience to match.  I look forward to working again with Aamir in the not too distant future.

Halfway through our first meeting, it was evident Saima and Aamir deeply understood the business requirement for change. The mixture of intuitive emotional intelligence balanced with pragmatic solutions is a powerful combination to provide the tools and framework for meaningful cultural change.

All of the feedback I heard yesterday was hugely positive and my sense is that this one day's worth of investment in ourselves as a team will pay dividends for the future. I thought you expertly facilitated the session and the pace, content, context, challenge was just right and helped the team move forwards. I am asking myself why we didn't do this before and that we need to consider it for other larger projects as well.

This is the best our team have ever connected. The way we listened and valued each other and gave each other space was different to any other time we have been together. We truly can change business and the industry through what we have created here.

Saima’s work has: “precision, professionalism & passion”

Your work is transformational, insightful, and results-oriented, and the high-touch client experience you provided me, takes the coaching experience to new heights.

Saima built a place of open dialogue and elegantly demonstrated the use of effective coaching tools.

The whole mentor coaching process experience with Saima was most important for me to explore new dimensions of coaching and gave me the opportunity to boldly explore and overcome my own limitations in my coaching practice. I have grown as a coach on our joint path.

Intense and inspiring.

I can't thank you enough for the help you gave me throughout last year and (as so much of what we talked about has stayed with me) for many years to come too!!
