FAQ
Questions, answered
A few things people often ask. If yours isn't here, justget in touch.
What is transition coaching, and who is it for?
Transition coaching is for adults at a threshold: a career change, a new role, or a wider shift in direction. It is for people who want to move through that change with clarity. We draw on engagement theory, NLP, and the idea of ikigai to help you get clear on what you want and take real steps toward it.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical. It is about where you want to go and how to get there. It is not therapy, counselling, or a substitute for medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. If you need that kind of support, we will gladly point you toward an appropriate professional.
How does the free intro call work?
It is a free, low-pressure 30-minute conversation. You share what you are working through and what you are hoping for, and we look at whether working together is the right fit. When you book, you answer a couple of short questions, so the call is focused from the start.
What is Mehdi's approach?
Holistic and evidence-based. Mehdi draws on graduate business education, doctoral research in organizational psychology, and NLP certification, alongside a view that considers your health, relationships, values, and goals together. No transition happens in just one part of a life.
What kinds of coaching do you offer?
One-to-one Transition Coaching for people navigating change, and Executive Coaching for leaders developing emotional intelligence, communication, and value-aligned leadership. Beyond coaching, I also offer speaking, organizational workshops, and the retreats.
What are the retreats?
Four immersive experiences: the Liminal Odyssey (a hero's-journey voyage), Liminal Ascent (a self-directed endurance program in Zermatt), Liminal Silence (a silent desert retreat in Merzouga), and Liminal Harvest (an integration retreat). They are private and by invitation, each built for a particular group and shaped around the people in it, because the work that makes a retreat matter starts before we travel. There is no sign-up page. If one feels like your kind of passage, it begins with a conversation.
Do you work with organizations?
Yes. Mehdi speaks at conferences and corporate events, and designs workshops with your learning and development team, covering leadership, performance, and cultural change, shaped to your people and goals.
How long does coaching take?
It depends on your goals. Some clients come for a specific transition and work together over a few months. Others continue longer as new chapters unfold. We will talk through what makes sense for you on the intro call.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on the type and length of the engagement. The clearest way to get an answer is the free intro call, where we can match an approach to your needs and budget.
How do I get started?
Book a free intro call, or send a message through the contact page. From there, we will find the right way forward together.
