“I was struggling to decide if I should accept an executive-level position. Despite consulting with others, I wasn't sure what to do. Umar took me through a process that gave me the clarity I needed.”

Melvin Joy. 24. Digital Marketing Executive. Derby. UK

What problems were you experiencing?

What was your problem and when did you first realize you had it?

When I was offered an executive-level position at my workplace, I wasn’t sure what to do and I didn’t know how to make the right decision for myself.

Did your problem occur suddenly or over a period of time?

It occurred suddenly, with the circumstances of a promotional offering at work.

What solutions did you try before working with Umar?

I tried to just debate with myself if I had a good or bad feeling towards it. Initially, I actually pushed to reject the job offer. Then, coaching with Umar actually gave me the clarity I needed.

At what point did you decide you needed outside assistance?

I realised I needed help when I started making rushed, illogical decisions as a result of receiving the offer, which was causing issues at my workplace. This was an issue as it had started to affect my communication with colleagues and senior management. As soon as I realised this, I got help.

What helped your decision to work with Umar?

What materials did you read or watch that influenced your decision?

Umar has always been a great coach and helpful to me with previous issues, so I knew for certain he would be able to help.

What criteria did you have when you were looking for a Coach?

I wanted someone who was caring and could get me results with the problem.

Did you have any hesitations/concerns beforehand & how were they alleviated?

I did not have any hesitations beforehand due to Umar’s track record with me in the past.

Did you look at other competitors & why did you select our product & service over them?

I didn’t look for any. I didn’t need to, as I already knew Umar could help me.

What finally made you decide to trust & work with Umar?

I’ve worked with him since 2020 and the results he has provided for me each time gave me the trust I needed.

How did working with Umar help solve your problem?

What was your experience like during the session?

It was really structured, straight to the point, and very clear to get through.

What did Umar do that helped solve your problem?

He followed a systematic approach in effectively narrowing down what was most important to me and whether the new promotion met my needs in the right manner. He also asked me several additional questions, which helped me recognise other factors that would affect my decision. He wove these into the same process that ultimately helped me make my final decision with ease.

How did coaching with Umar help solve your problem?

He helped me gain clarity and an understanding of what was important to me, that the job promotion was in fact the right decision, and that, in knowing this, I didn’t need to worry so much anymore. I could relax now.

What happened the moment you realised the coaching was working to solve your problem?

I was very grateful, deeply appreciative and relieved.

What did you like, find interesting or beneficial about the process of working with Umar?

I liked the fact that he knew what he was doing, he was very caring and also very structured.

How much time and stress did you save as a result?

This saved me days of stress, maybe even years of stress if I felt I was making the wrong decision for myself.

What Stressors did working with Umar eliminate?

The main stressor that it eliminated was my anxiety about my future and making the wrong decisions.

What results did you see?

How much is life better in the areas where you used to have the problem compared to where you were before working with Umar?

I can see clearly now that there is a reason for my needing this position to attain my dreams in the long run. The experience I will gain from the job is aligned with where I am headed, and I am grateful for that.

How did Umar help you reach your goal(s)?

After working with Umar, I made the right decision to choose the executive role. Now, I am currently working in the position I accepted and can see clearly that I am developing more and more skills that I value. I am being challenged a lot and I am loving it! I am taking on multiple tasks throughout the day, which I wasn’t able to do before. I am grateful that I am getting better at doing many tasks at once.

Did you see any significant jumps in your experience after working with Umar?

I am more confident and relaxed about my future.

What positive results have you seen?

It’s only been a month and I’m assigned to train an intern as an assistant for the work that I do.

Would you recommend working with Umar for this issue or any other issues & why?

Definitely! The thing I love about Umar is that even if you doubt yourself and start giving up hope, he sticks with you and believes in you like no other person. His compassion is unparalleled, and I would highly recommend him to others struggling to make similar career decisions or handle challenges in their personal and professional life.
