Identity & transitions coaching
Coaching for the space between chapters.
A liminal space is the in-between of a transition, where the old no longer fits and the new hasn't fully emerged.
Liminal works with leaders, executives, and people navigating exactly that: a career shift, a new role, or the quiet sense that a chapter is ending. We combine psychological insight with practical strategy, so you can move through the change with clarity instead of drift.
No pitch. A free 30-minute conversation to see if we're a fit.

Speak for themselves
“Mehdi holds a space with equal parts gravitas, humor, and empathy. He made sure that our group got the theoretical and academic content on psychological safety that undergirds his presentation while also making sure we had practical information we could use in our work and daily life. He is keenly aware of the energy in the room and is responsive to it.”
Rodney Eric LopezAuthor, Speaker & FounderMad Hot Movement“I left the session energized, informed and with the tools to analyze and adjust a range of mental states and situations. Mehdi brings intelligence and experience, but more importantly, he brings authenticity.”
