“Idrissa is an incredible coach: the right combination of warm, supportive cheerleading, with just enough challenging mixed in to get me moving. Idrissa helped me figure out what it was time to say No to in my life in order to create room for some new big exciting Yesses! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Idrissa to get my creative juices flowing.”
“Idrissa's coaching helped bring my essence to life. She heard what I was afraid to name and encouraged me to explore, so that by the end of our sessions, I not only had words, but also living metaphors to call forth when it was time to act. Idrissa's full belief in me never wavered through my times of questioning. She has helped me step into full belief of my own power and in celebration of myself.”
“I have no doubt that if I had not had the honour of Idrissa coaching me, I would not be where I am. I arrived at Idrissa’s door with a lack of self compassion and a minimal amount of empathy for myself, and an unlimited amount for others. In spite of my achievements and successes, my imposter syndrome took hold, tying me to painful patterns and narrow minded self-talk. I felt the burden of others’ opinions and the structure of the world around me. I needed to break free, I just didn’t know how alone.""
"Idrissa’s empathy and genuine care helped me to move forward quickly and with resolution. Her encouragement does not falter as you move through your sessions with her. Idrissa’s approach is warm, thoughtful, and realistic. She applies real life solutions and ideas through shared conversation and investment into You. To be heard in a safe place allows for progress. The graciousness Idrissa has in the presence of your fears and personal experience is admirable. Her wisdom brought light and solutions where I needed it most. Through her guidance, I was able to discern and apply thoughtful execution to my goals while healing what I was scared to address. I am forever grateful for the time spent with Idrissa and will turn to her wise guidance as I navigate life ahead.”
"I received coaching from Idrissa during a challenging negotiation with my employer. With compassion and rigor, she helped me to clarify my priorities, strategy, and bottom line. That clarity allowed me to go through the negotiation process with confidence and to advocate effectively for myself. This is particularly important as a woman of color who has been profoundly conditioned to put everyone else's wants first and to question my own worth. Working with her, I felt seen, understood, believed, supported, and accountable to my own dreams and desires. Idrissa helped me to see the best of myself, and to fight for that."
