“In our workshop, we reflected on very value-laden ideas about national defence and climate change. Participants came from many different organisations and educational backgrounds, with very different expectations. Without Kalim's facilitation, we would not have been able to work together over two days to outline a completely new social debate and achieve collective results.”

“Kalim immediately made me feel comfortable on our first meeting as I wasn't sure what to expect in our coaching relationship. He is deliberate in his professional approach which makes our engagement and discussions very encouraging and fruitful. One issue that we worked on together was my fear of the job interview process. We broke it down into various parts and went through them to a point where I could prepare for the job interview on my own. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.”

When I started my coaching with Kalim I was unemployed, lost and didn’t know where to start from on my professional path into the Finnish job market.
Kalim helped me strengthen my confidence, believe in myself and the skills I already had. We worked on the steps I needed to get started, together we worked on my CV, he helped me learn the art of networking, doing volunteer work and he was a huge support during my internship. And now when I finally have a job, I see how these steps were the building blocks to where I am now and all that I have achieved and learnt.
He isn’t just a career coach but also a friend that one can rely on. I am so grateful for having embarked on this journey with him. I highly recommend coaching with him.
