About Wafaa

Born and raised in Lebanon. I have been in the Training & Management field since 1997, starting in IT Training and holding different positions from Junior to Senior Trainer and then Team Leader. Then I have advanced to Training & Operations Supervisor, Research and Development Officer, Training & Operations Manager, Training Consultant, and Currently Learning and Development Manager at Australian University.

I am a certified coach from ICF since 2017 till now. Coaching has the incredible ability to change lives, and I am a living example of its potential. My introduction to coaching not only shifted my perspective, but also sparked a strong desire to support others on their journey towards self-discovery. At this crucial moment in my career and personal journey, my strong dedication to guiding others in discovering their full potential stands firm.
