We’re all more than just one thing, and I want to help you blend your magic pieces into a path that breaks barriers on your unique journey.
I believe everyone’s unique and I love connecting dots to unlock potential.
In the GCC fast-paced business world, cultivating resilience and mastering your mindset are key to reigniting joy in your work, staying true to who you are, and embracing who you’re meant to be.

What is coaching, and how can it help me?
Coaching is a professional partnership designed to help you identify personal or business goals, develop strategies to achieve them, and overcome limiting beliefs. By working with a coach, especially one who understands your challenges, you gain clarity, accountability, and personalized feedback in a safe and confidential environment. This can lead to improved decision-making, increased confidence, and accelerated business growth or career growth.
When is it the right time to start coaching?
If you’re longing for progress and the thought of another day without meaningful change feels overwhelming.
Why might female SME owners benefit from specialized coaching?
Female entrepreneurs often face unique obstacles, such as imposter syndrome, balancing family responsibilities, and navigating male-dominated industries. Specialized coaching can address these challenges by offering tailored strategies and support. Tessa’s approach, for instance, focuses on empowering women, building confidence, and crafting actionable plans that accommodate each entrepreneur’s personal and professional aspirations.
What is NLP, and how does it enhance the coaching process?
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) involves understanding how our thoughts, language, and behaviors influence our outcomes. Within coaching, NLP techniques help identify limiting beliefs, reframe negative thinking, and establish more productive habits. This results-driven approach enables clients to achieve transformation more quickly and effectively.
How can I manage my finances while investing in coaching or personal development programs?
Start by assessing your financial goals and priorities. Creating a budget aligned with your values can free up resources for personal development. Many professionals see coaching as an investment that pays dividends through improved career prospects, better decision-making, and emotional well-being.
Is it really possible to “have it all”—a thriving career, healthy relationships, and personal well-being?
Striving to “have it all” can be overwhelming, but Tessa’s coaching programs focus on designing a lifestyle that respects your unique priorities. Through goal-setting, boundary strategies, and mindset work, you can develop a harmonious blend of career success, fulfilling relationships, and personal wellness—without sacrificing your sense of self in the process.
Is it selfish to pursue personal growth when I have family or relationship obligations?
Not at all. Tessa’s clients often find that investing in personal growth amplifies their capacity for empathy, patience, and resilience—traits that positively impact their family and relationships. When you prioritize your own development, you set an empowering example for loved ones and show up more fully in every part of your life.

Your reviews
I can not thank Tessa enough for her support over the years working in the Middle East operations of Jacobs. She is a strategic thinker and exceptionally creative whilst also structured and organized. She has helped pivot many innovative ideas whilst supporting the sales journey of the Strategic Consulting team and has mentored many team members including myself on the Relationship Based Sales Process.
Tessa continually looks ahead to adapt and make her team stronger. I always appreciated conversations with her because I knew she would pitch challenges to see if we could do things differently and better. Thinking through her ideas was a great way of improving my own work.
