Who is Coach Gemi?
My Approach
Coaching with me is akin to an improvisation session, where we craft solutions and outcomes by harnessing the essence of the moment and propelling them towards your envisioned goals. I leverage coaching models from the esteemed Co-Active Training Institute, underpinned by an extensive 800+ coaching hours, ADWAM-Islamic NLP program, Design Thinking, Business Model Generation, and the transformative wisdom of Stephen Covey's 7-Habits of Highly Effective People. These tools intertwine seamlessly with my wealth of 25+ years of personal experience. My approach mirrors that of a Design Thinker, rooted in relentless curiosity and boundless empathy. Guided by my Muslim convictions, I view work and life as threads of a single fabric, and when woven with Ihsan, the tapestry inevitably radiates with Barakah; Insha Allah.
My Origins
Hailing from the vibrant tapestry of Indonesia, my life's journey has woven a dynamic path through the USA, Indonesia, Singapore, and Canada. This worldly traverse has gifted me with a remarkable ability to seamlessly traverse both eastern and western cultures, a harmonious dance orchestrated by Allah's grace. With unyielding determination to embrace uniqueness and defy conformity, I proudly claim the mantle of a global citizen. While geography shifts, my anchor remains steadfast with my family - for home, in its truest essence, is wherever they are.
An Entrepreneur at Heart
The entrepreneurial spirit has been a driving force in me since my inaugural step into the world of startups. With unrestricted creative control, I seized the opportunity to nurture and elevate a fledgling company to the point of a lucrative sale, witnessing revenues surge by an astonishing 1000x. This appetite for growth courses through my very DNA, propelling me to establish my own strategic consulting venture. Through this, I empower businesses to optimize their revenue streams and construct strategies centered around the human experience.
Yet, my journey didn't conclude there. A yearning to serve my ummah, the Muslim community, has unfurled over time. This impetus led me to establish aMuslima.com, spearhead @thehalaltraveler, and launch noorbiz.com dedicated to nurturing Muslim leaders and their teams.
The odyssey continues with my latest endeavor, seastar-unlimited, a pioneering Learning and Development enterprise meticulously tailored for multinational, multi-ethnic teams spanning the global landscape. This is the unending saga of a passionate entrepreneur seeking not only success, but also meaningful impact.
Building Connections
A huge part of me is creating and building connections. And they come in all shapes and forms.
