Adam’s success story as an entrepreneur, his outstanding achievements in the corporate world, combined with his natural talent in dealing and influencing people are a very unique combination that he brings to the coaching industry.
Adam’s techniques are effective, because he is able to coach from a very deep and broad personal experience. His genuine drive and passion to empower his clients to live a life of purpose is the real deal and the true value add.
The strengths-centered business model that underpins Adam’s coaching practice alongside his intuitive, honest, deeply enthusiastic style are massively engaging to work with.
Most importantly Adam champions diversity and inclusion, which I find inspiring and quite rewarding, so if you are an executive woman seeking to reach new heights both personally and professionally, look no further. Adam is your go-to Executive coach in Dubai!

I would highly recommend using Adam's services. In particular if you are running a business by yourself and really need a good sounding board for advice.
I found Adam was a great listener and effectively told me what I "needed" to hear as opposed to what I "wanted" to hear. The biggest take away I took from everything was my accountability improved and my organizational skills.
All in all, I found Adam's professional & personable approach very refreshing and would recommend his services to anyone.

I have now been working with Adam for almost 1 year and have thoroughly enjoyed our coaching sessions, the sharing of life experiences, expanding both our networks and maximising our time together.
The passions, enthusiasm, positivity and energy that Adam brings with his style of coaching has directly challenged my thinking, changed my priorities and focused me on my strengths to make sure I live and breathe them daily.
A truly enjoyable journey with Adam, where the challenges we face as business leaders are overcome and put into perspective after each and every season. If you are sceptical of coaching and or the benefits that can be realised, then just meet Adam for 1 hour, and you will start a process that will be rewarding to both your personal and business life.

Adam's coaching has been exceptional since we started working with him toward the end of last year. The focus, direction and ideas he has helped us unlock have all transformed the way we work for the better.
The use of strengths and how to better leverage those has been a key part in the change we have seen and I can't imagine there's anyone out there who has a better understanding than Adam does in this area.
In addition to being a great coach, he is also an all-round good person!

My purpose is to make you as successful as you can be so you can have a positive impact on the world, your community and the most important people around you. My belief for you to be at you to be at your best, you firstly need to focus on yourself, before focusing on others.
I combine over 20 years of personal and business experience which includes starting, running and selling my own sizable business with the learnings of being around exceptional people and share this experience through being a one on one executive coach, as a team coach, a business coach, author and motivational speaker.
Whether I am working with you one on one, as a leadership team, or speaking to 1000 senior executives I always follow the 3 main pillars of The Advantage Coach approach and cariculum. These are:
If you use and follow these you will be successful whether it's in business or in life.
Try raising your hands above your head as high as you can. Yes, really do it! Now try and stretch them even higher. The same is in life and business. There is always room for improvement.
Whether you are in the lowest depth of dispair or you already believe life can't get even better I can assure you there is room for improvement and greater happiness and success. I myself have gone from a moment of being told that I was so ill from PTSD and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) that I should be left in a dark room for 5 years. Within months I was out in the light again, living back on a path to success. If you are already in great shape, how much more impact can you have if you chanel yourself even better?
My priority is ensuring you as my client is operating at your best as quickly and as often as possible, and for this to happen we firstly need to ensure you as the CEO, business owner or senior executive is operating at their best both at work and in life. When the leader is at their best, they can then make massive positive differences to their team's and organisations performance. I therefore describe myself as a combination of a life coach, a business coach and an executive coach.
My focus is coaching in Dubai (UAE) as this is where I am based, but I also have clients across the Middle East, Europe and Internationally.
Working with SMEs I usually start one on one coaching the founder, business owner or Managing Director first before coaching the leadership team and wider organisation. My experience of business coaching in Dubai and beyond I find the senior executives extremely talented in their chosen profession, but often don't have a partner who can share best practices of running similar businesses. When working with global organisations I find very similar challenges. I bring best practices and practical examples that can be quickly implemented into all organsaitons for greater performance and results.
As I work with multiple SMEs and larger global companies, I can bring best practices which strengthens the executive's leadership offerings. As I also ran my own business and held a number of senior leadership roles in global companies, I also bring this experience for the benefit of the client.
Everything I do focuses on leadership development.I strongly believe that everything starts with you as an individual being the best you can be, so you can be the best for others.
I was fortunate to be selected onto Cummins Global Leadership Development Program (GLDP) back in 2017 and graduated from the program in 2019, as well as attended the Wharton Executive Development Program (EDP). Whilst realising I was most productive at work when I was inspired by the leader (and less productive when I experienced poor leadership) I now harness the learning of these two world class leadership courses for the benefit of my business coaching clients.
There are multiple popular personality profile assessment tools in the market including Myres Briggs MBTI, Firo-B, DISC, Korn Ferry's 4 Dimensional Model, Hogan Personality Test and many others. From my own experiences I found none as powerful as the Gallup Clifton Strengths. Knowing my Gallup Clifton Strengths Top 5 and my Top 34 Clifton Strengths has changed my life, and I use them every day to help me be at my best.
The Clifton Strengths profiler told me who I really am, shows me my Strengths and if I use them each day I feel better, am better and I'm much more fulfilled and happy. If we can use our passions (our Strengths) each day we'll perform far better!
“A coach can hear the things you don't want to hear, and see the things you can't see, to help you become what you always wanted to be.”
