Cross Culture Coaching
Rooted in compassion and trust, I guide my clients through a transformative journey, empowering them to break through cultural barriers and Embrace Change
Welcome
Welcome to ShiftMind, your destination for transformative cross-cultural coaching. Rooted in my own life experiences, I bring a “walk the talk” approach to coaching, dedicated to empowering clients to “Embrace Change.” This encompasses stepping away from familiar cultural norms, whether it’s relocating to a new country, navigating career transitions, or adapting to multicultural organizational landscapes.
At ShiftMind, my approach focuses on supporting clients in tapping into their innate strengths and capabilities. Together, we’ll unlock your core potential, bridging cultures with confidence we not only navigate changes but transform them into joyful opportunities for growth, making the journey both fulfilling and rewarding.
The name “ShiftMind” reflects my core belief that a shift in mindset is the catalyst for immediate and profound transformation. My passion lies in facilitating these transformative moments for each client I work with.

Women in Corporate
While I am deeply committed to coaching individuals across all niches, my work with women in corporate environments holds a special place in my heart. I firmly believe that the world would be a better place if led by women, and I find immense fulfillment in guiding women to unlock their inner potential and embrace their inherent strengths. In corporate settings, women often face unique challenges stemming from gender biases, stereotypes, and unequal opportunities. My coaching approach begins by empowering women to cultivate confidence, trust, and resilience in their innate abilities. Together, we navigate the specific hurdles present in corporate cultures, focusing on developing leadership skills, asserting themselves in male-dominated industries, and achieving their career aspirations. Through tailored support and strategic guidance, I assist women in overcoming barriers, shattering glass ceilings, and flourishing professionally.
I can help you to:
- Cultivate confidence, trust, and resilience in your capabilities.
- Develop leadership skills and assertiveness in corporate environments.
- Overcome gender biases, stereotypes, and unequal opportunities.
- Navigate the unique challenges and enhance effective communication
- Achieve your career goals and break through glass ceilings.
Diversity Leadership
It is my profound belief that resolving global conflicts necessitates leaders who possess a profound sense of self-awareness and embody high inner qualities such as empathy and wisdom. These attributes serve as the bedrock for making impactful decisions that can drive positive change on a collective level. My firm commitment lies in fostering this global awareness by supporting leaders to cultivate and strengthen these essential qualities through coaching.
Diverse leadership coaching blends two essential components toward a shared goal: fostering peace, harmony, and Justice. This approach encompasses Personal coaching for leaders to develop these qualities and organizational coaching aimed at guiding teams in navigating multicultural dynamics and accepting others.
On Personal Coaching for leaders, I assist leaders in nurturing these traits, enabling them to lead authentically and foster peace within their spheres of influence. Meanwhile, through organizational coaching, I support leaders and teams in enhancing cross-cultural communication skills, cultural intelligence, and collaboration.
Ultimately, these efforts contribute to paving the way for greater success and potentially influencing positive global change.
I can help you to:
- Cultivate self-awareness, empathy, and Equilibrium
- Enhance Leadership Skills and Authenticity
- Develop Cross-Cultural Communication and Cultural Intelligence
- Foster Collaboration and Inclusiveness within Teams
- Navigate Multicultural Dynamics and Embrace Diversity

My Story
My journey into cross-cultural assimilation spans continents and cultures, shaping my profound commitment to fostering intercultural understanding and collaboration. From my earliest years, I’ve been immersed in diverse experiences; having lived in seven different countries. Navigating through various education, work, and social environments, and acquiring self-learned skills along the way, each new setting has been a vessel for cultivating resilience and adaptability, shaping me into the person I am today.
In 2014, amidst a successful career as an Architect/Project Manager, I felt a calling to fulfill a part of me that yearned for more. While coaching felt like a natural fit, I initially lacked the confidence to make a career switch. However, relocating to North America in 2018 provided the push I needed. Shifting my mindset to follow my passion made the decision to pursue coaching as a profession easy. It was time to heed Oprah’s famous advice: “Turn your passion into your career.” The universe provided enough signs affirming that this is the path to fulfill my potential, and so here I am, fully committed to the journey.
My diverse experiences have fueled curiosity, acceptance, and personal growth, ingraining valuable lessons along the way. These encounters have deepened my understanding of humanity and elevated my compassion towards those navigating their own cultural transitions. Guided by these values, selecting cross-cultural coaching as my niche was a natural progression.
In my coaching practice, I draw upon my journey as an independent, career-driven woman in diverse environments to empower clients. The passion I’ve developed as a result is rooted in helping others explore and harness powerful possibilities from their circumstances. I’ve encapsulated cross-cultural experiences in both personal and professional realms, and it’s these experiences that I aim to bring to my clients.
“My commitment lies in guiding others towards authentic engagement and inspired actions, empowering them to effect transformative changes in their lives.”
Coaching style
My coaching style is a harmonious blend of coaching tools acquired from the esteemed CTI Institute, where I earned my CPCC certification, seamlessly woven with the essence of spirituality and self-development—an aspect that has passionately infused my life for the past two decades.
Through the integration of spirituality and coaching techniques, I have uncovered a powerful synergy, nurturing compassion, empathy, and a profound understanding of human struggles and challenges.
Drawing from spirituality, I guide my clients to connect with their essence, assisting them in revealing their values and tapping into their inner strength. Simultaneously, coaching techniques provide me with the necessary tools to facilitate introspection and growth, enabling clients to align their choices with their authentic selves. Together, these elements form the foundation of my coaching style, enabling me to empower my clients to unlock their full potential and craft meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Tailored to each client’s unique circumstances and goals, my coaching model embodies two primary approaches:
- Holistic Coaching: This approach focuses on enhancing the client’s overall well-being and fostering personal development. It begins with an assessment, often using tools like the Wheel of Life, to identify areas for improvement and growth. Through supportive guidance, clients work to cultivate positive qualities and overcome limiting beliefs.
- Dynamic Coaching: Designed for clients facing specific challenges, this approach offers customized processes to address those obstacles directly. It includes targeted exercises and tasks tailored to the client’s needs, with a focus on monitoring progress and addressing areas for improvement. This approach often integrates elements of personal growth coaching to support holistic development.
“Coaching helps people discover what their own blind spots are and helps them recognize the gaps between where they are and where they want to be.” – Henry Kimsey-House

Shireen Kamal, M.S-MBACP Family Psychotherapist- UK
Hanadi is a superb coach. Her skills are outstanding. Despite my background as a therapist with ample knowledge and resources, Hanadi supported me tremendously during one of my most challenging periods. Her humanistic and spiritual approach enabled me to understand the issue of relational triggers on a very deep level. She helped me transform on a body level, as we know, the body keeps the score. I am forever grateful for her and her work.
Lamah Hannan, Lawyer at Ontario Government
I started working with Hanadi at a point in my life where I was experiencing immense distress and lacking direction.
Through her compassionate approach and gentle guidance, Hanadi helped me to reconnect with myself and my core values and needs.
Working with her, I was able to develop wellness tools and a deep well of self-trust that continues to guide me in my life today.
I don’t know where I would be without her support.
