Below are a number of questions that we often receive from prospective clients and/or strategic referral partners. Of course, if you have any other questions or wish to learn more, you can email us at info@lakhdarcoaching.com.
You can expect a coaching experience that doesn’t just move the needle—it moves you. This isn’t about surface-level tips or temporary motivation. It’s about deep, lasting transformation from the inside out.
Hakim's work with clients is rooted in powerful, real conversations that challenge the way you think, lead, and live. You’ll gain clarity on who you are, what matters most, and how to lead with more confidence, presence, and compassion.
Expect to be seen, stretched, and supported as you uncover new possibilities for yourself and those you lead. This is about becoming the kind of leader (and human) you know you’re here to be.
Hakim works with high-performing, heart-driven leaders (e.g. founders, CEOs, executives, creatives, and entrepreneurs) who are successful by most standards but know there’s more available to them.
They come to Hakim when they’re ready to evolve...not just as leaders of businesses, but as leaders of themselves. Hakim's clients are often navigating big transitions, high-stakes decisions, rapid growth, or the quiet sense that something deeper is calling them forward.
What they all have in common? A willingness to do the inner work required to lead with greater clarity, authenticity, and impact.
Most leadership coaching focuses on strategies, systems, and doing more. Hakim focuses on helping you become more of you...more present, more aligned, more effective, and more powerful from the inside out.
What sets Hakim's coaching apart is the depth of the conversation and the transformation that emerges from it. Hakim doesn't offer cookie-cutter frameworks or surface-level advice. He helps you slow down, zoom out, and lead with greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and clarity of purpose.
This isn’t about tweaking tactics...it’s about elevating the way you lead your life, so everything you build from there is sustainable, successful, and fully aligned with who you really are.
Transformational leadership is less about controlling others and more about elevating them. It’s about leading from within, with a clear sense of self, a grounded purpose, and a deep care for the people you serve.
It’s the kind of leadership that doesn’t rely on titles or tactics to inspire. It comes from your being...how you listen, how you choose, how you respond, how you lead yourself first. When that shifts, everything else follows. Teams thrive. Cultures change. Impact (and revenue) multiplies.
Hakim coaches across the full spectrum of leadership, personal growth, and human performance, because how you lead in one area affects how you lead everywhere.
The core areas Hakim focuses on include self-leadership, emotional intelligence, clarity of vision, time and energy mastery, powerful communication, mindset shifts, navigating transition, and building aligned, high-performing teams.
But more than a checklist of topics, your work with Hakim will focus on what matters most to you...the areas where growth will create the greatest ripple effect in your leadership and life.
You will start first with a Discovery Call to determine level of commitment, coach-ability and clarity. If it's determined that powerful work can be done together, a longer coaching conversation will be scheduled to better understand your specific goals. This will be followed by a Decision Call to finalize a confident "yes" or "no." If there is a decision to proceed, the invoice will be sent and first session will be scheduled. In your personalized sessions, you will work with Hakim to further identify key areas of growth, establish actionable strategies, and build the mindset shifts needed to achieve lasting results.
The number of sessions varies based on individual goals, but it is typically recommend at least a 6-month commitment to ensure meaningful transformation. Each session builds on the last, creating a cumulative effect that drives substantial progress. Clients tend to work with Hakim for an average of 12-18 months.
Success in transformational coaching isn’t just tracked through goals or metrics. It’s experienced through who you are becoming. While we certainly can and do identify tangible outcomes and leadership KPIs, the real measure of success lies in the shifts you make in how you think, show up, and lead.
The magic happens in conversation...where blind spots are revealed, clarity is gained, and new ways of BEing are embodied. Success often shows up as a renewed sense of purpose, improved relationships, greater emotional presence, and the courage to lead authentically. It’s not just about doing more...it’s about becoming more of who you truly are.
Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered process that empowers you to find solutions within yourself. Unlike consulting, which provides direct advice, or mentoring, which draws from personal experience, coaching focuses on unlocking your full potential through guided discovery. It all starts and ends with you.
Yes, Hakim works with clients all over the world via Zoom, which offers flexibility while maintaining the same level of depth, connection, and effectiveness as in-person coaching. In-person coaching and retreats are available based on capacity and with further discussion.
Hakim's coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that leadership starts with self-leadership. Hakim has a unique ability to create a space where powerful conversations unlock clarity, shift perspectives, and reconnect you to your deepest values.
This work is not about fixing...it’s about revealing. Who you are BEing in each moment—as a leader, partner, parent, or human—is where true transformation lives. Hakim coaches with compassion, curiosity, and candor, helping you expand into the version of yourself that leads with integrity, emotional intelligence, and purpose. When you lead yourself well, everything else flows from there.
You’re ready when something inside you knows there’s more...more clarity to access, more alignment to live into, more power to lead with.
If you're asking bigger questions, feeling called to evolve, or simply tired of leading from a place that no longer feels authentic or sustainable—then you're ready. Clients who work with Hakim don't go to him because they’re broken; they come because they’re ready to break through.
Readiness isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being open, willing, and courageous enough to step into a space where growth is not only possible...it’s inevitable.
Expect to experience real, lasting shifts...not just in what you do, but in who you are. My clients often report feeling more grounded, confident, clear, and connected...to themselves, their purpose, their teams, and the people they love.
Yes, we’ll likely see external wins: better communication, stronger leadership presence, improved decision-making, increased performance and more aligned results. But the deeper transformation? That’s internal. You’ll start noticing how you respond differently under pressure, how you lead with more intention, and how much more energy you have when you're no longer hustling to prove your worth.
The result is a leader who’s powerful not because of a title, but because they lead with truth, compassion, and clarity.
Confidentiality isn’t just a professional standard...it’s a sacred commitment. The space you create together with Hakim is built on trust, honesty, and safety.
Everything you share in a session stays between you and your coach. You can speak freely, explore what’s real, and be fully seen without performance or pretense. That kind of space is rare...and it’s where the most powerful transformation happens.
Transformation doesn’t follow a stopwatch, but you may feel it begin in the very first conversation. Some clients walk away from our first session with a major shift in perspective, while others notice the momentum building steadily over time.
This work is layered and lasting. You’ll start seeing subtle but powerful changes like how you handle challenges, how present you are in relationships, how grounded you feel in decisions. These shifts compound.
It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about deep, meaningful growth that sticks, because it’s rooted in who you are becoming, not just what you’re trying to change.
Accountability with Hakim isn’t about pressure...it’s about presence. It’s not about doing more just to check a box; it’s about aligning your actions with who you say you want to be.
Hakim will challenge you with compassion, remind you of your vision, and reflect back the greatness he sees in you...especially when you forget it. You’ll co-create practices, commitments, and ways of tracking growth that feel meaningful, not mechanical.
The real accountability is to your integrity...to showing up for the leadership (and life) you’ve said matters most.
It starts with a conversation. No pressure. No pitch. Just a chance to connect, hear what’s on your heart, and explore if this work is right for you.
In your Discovery Call, Hakim will ask questions, listen deeply, and offer honest reflections. You’ll get a real sense of what it feels like to be in conversation with him...not just conceptually, but energetically.
If it feels aligned, you’ll talk about what working together could look like. And if not? You’ll still leave with more clarity than you came in with. Either way, the invitation is simple: show up as you are.
This is an investment in your leadership, your well-being, and your evolution—not just in what you do, but in who you are.
Hakim chooses to work with a select number of clients in a high-touch, deeply personalized way. That means the financial investment reflects the level of care, presence, and transformation you receive. Hakim is not the cheapest coach—and he doesn't aim to be. His aim is to be the most impactful coach you’ll ever work with.
You’ll talk openly about pricing during your Discovery Call or subsequent call, and together you'll determine the structure...whether 1:1 sessions, a retainer, or a longer-term partnership that best supports your growth and your goals.
