Ex. Group Head Corporate Banking, Bank Alfalah Ltd
Mr. Bakhtiar Khawaja coached me for a period of around three months in 2013. He is a great coach with empathy, vision and a knack of asking questions that made me think. He helped me clarify my thoughts around a couple of tricky areas of my life. He supported me in crafting a way forward in one initiative which was lying dormant in a mist of confusion-laden procrastination, enabling me to finalize my plans to achieve a long standing dream involving international travel and commitment of sizable amounts of money. His coaching has brought greater clarity in my thinking and confidence in my ability to do anything I set my eyes on. I would certainly recommend Bakhtiar to any individual or organization facing real or imaginary obstacles in the way of realizing their dreams, or who are caught up in disempowering beliefs from their past life.
