In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave welcome leadership coach Amal Saymeh for an insightful conversation on coaching, authenticity, and personal leadership. Amal shares her unique coaching philosophy, centered on the Arabic concept of Fitra—returning to one's innate state and full potential. She discusses her transition from chemistry to coaching, the importance of self-leadership, and how coaches can avoid the common pitfall of "squeezing the tea bag"—overextending themselves in service of others.

The conversation also explores the fine line between coaching and therapy, strategies for sustaining a coaching business, and the role of self-reflection in both personal and professional growth. Amal’s passion for guiding individuals toward their most authentic selves shines through in this engaging and thought-provoking discussion.

Join us as we dive deep into the art of coaching and leadership, uncovering valuable insights for coaches and clients alike.
