Coaching with Shireen
Coaching works best when it is grounded in how people actually think, decide and change. Every programme I offer is built around behavioural science, structured support and genuine attention to what is going on for you specifically. Not a template. Not a generic framework. A programme shaped around your context and your goals.
I work with a small number of individuals at any one time. If you are navigating a transition, carrying too much, rebuilding after something difficult, or simply ready to do things differently, one of these programmes may be the right fit.
The Coaching Programmes
Every coaching engagement is personalised. The programmes below are the three ways I currently work with individuals. A structured 90-day journey, an intensive deep-dive with follow-up support, or sustained coaching over time. If you are not sure which is right for you, start with a conversation.
Focus. Act. Build. 90 days. Five sessions. Three journals.
This programme exists for people who are ready to invest in themselves. Not because someone else is funding it. Because they have decided they are worth it.
For the people doing important work, holding a lot together, navigating real pressure, who want real structure and real support behind them. Focus. Act. Build. was designed to make the kind of support that typically sits behind a corporate budget accessible to the individuals who need it just as much.
"I was at a point where I knew something had to shift but I could not see what. Shireen gave me clarity, structure and a way of working that actually fits around real life. I did not just finish the programme. I finished it differently." - Focus. Act. Build participant.
"I completed the 90 days while working through a difficult three-month notice period, and it was a total game-changer. It gave me the tools to stay grounded and rebuild self-trust during a really unhappy professional stretch. If you are in a period of transition, this is the support you need." - Focus. Act. Build participant.
Five one-to-one virtual coaching sessions across 90 days, and the full Hero Journal Bundle. Built around the 12 Minute Hero Method. Designed for professionals navigating transition, pressure or uncertainty.
Reset and Rebuild. Get clear. Get structured. Get moving.
The diary is running you. Everything has piled up. You know something needs to change but you cannot see where to start. Reset and Rebuild is designed for exactly that moment.
This is not just a conversation. You come in, we do the work together, and you leave with clarity, a restructured plan and the tools to keep moving.
A 30-minute discovery call agrees the focus. That could be getting on top of a workload that has got away from you, preparing for a new role or a return to work, rebuilding structure after disruption, or making a decision you have been putting off.
A one-hour virtual session establishes the foundation. Then a virtual three-hour deep-dive does the practical work. It could be a Diary audit, Communication and energy audit, Priority sorting. We physically restructure and rebuild using the 12 Minute Hero Method. There is a break midway through.
Three virtual 45-minute follow-up sessions embed what has changed and keeps momentum going.
What you leave with:
A one-page summary of your focus area and the blockers identified during the session
A personalised 12 Minute Hero action plan with specific sprints and structure built around your goals
Tailored behavioural prompts created during the deep-dive
A 90-day momentum map showing what you are focusing on, in what order and why
Who it is for: busy professionals who need to cut through quickly, people navigating a significant change, and anyone who needs help seeing it clearly and sorting it practically.
