Hi, I’m Selim.
If you've clicked here wanting to know more about me, welcome. Perhaps you're curious about how I can assist you on your journey.
Born and raised in Türkiye, my adventure took a significant turn when I moved to the USA ten years ago. I embarked on a journey in academia, working towards my PhD in Political Science—a path I pursued with a full scholarship that demanded long hours of studying and effort. At the same time, I was married, believing my life was perfectly planned. Then, life took a series of unexpected turns. My marriage ended, leading me to a much more solitary life, and soon after, I realized that a career in academia was not my true calling.

To deepen my understanding and broaden my approach, I pursued Co-active coaching training, significantly enriching my coaching skills. Serving as an assistant trainer in Co-active workshops and joining the International Coaching Federation (ICF) were key steps in my professional development, as well. By merging the high-energy techniques of Tony Robbins with the personalized, in-depth approach of Co-active coaching enables me to deliver a coaching style that sets my practice apart and deeply resonates with my clients.
This unique combination of techniques and experiences equips me to offer a coaching approach that’s not just effective but also tailored to guide you on a transformative journey of growth and discovery.
During this pivotal time, as I reflected on my strengths and the life I envisioned, I also grappled with feelings of inadequacy. The contrast between where I was and where I wanted to be felt stark, nudging me toward the path of life coaching, where my skills, passions, and the needs of the world seemed to converge. It was then that I discovered Tony Robbins' coaching training. The curriculum was designed to be completed over several months, but my dedication saw me through it in just three weeks.
After completing the training, I was eager to put my new skills to the test. Starting with friends, these initial coaching sessions quickly evolved. Their enthusiasm and positive feedback were heartwarming, and soon, they became my first paying clients. This small but significant success led to more referrals, and my coaching practice began to flourish.
I'm all about helping you find meaningful progress in both your work and personal life.
In our sessions, we'll dive into the big questions that help reveal your true self. I love working with people who sense they're destined for even greater things and now wondering, 'What's next?'.
