The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines Mentoring as professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency and capability demanded by the desired credential level. I am a Professional Certified Coach, and Mentor Coach, accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I primarily work with women, under-represented, minoritized and equity-deserving groups.
I have so many rich takeaways from doing my mentorship coaching with Begum. I have a deeper awareness of who I am as a coach. I am more competent in the ICF core competencies. And, most importantly for me, I finally feel understood and supported as a racialized coach whose practice centres women of colour. I am so glad I found Begum and would recommend anyone considering working with her to go for it!

I cannot recommend Begum Verjee highly enough. Working with Begum has been a transformative experience for me, both personally and professionally. Begum possesses an exceptional ability to ask the right questions that challenged my thinking and encourage self-reflection. I learned so much from Begum, as she carefully coached me through the sessions and taught me a lot more about the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) markers. Each session was thoughtfully structured to build on previous progress, ensuring continuous growth and development. She was amazing at assisting me when I brought any challenges to our sessions. I really appreciated her wisdom, expertise, and her caring of how she approached each session. One of the most valuable aspects of Begum’s coaching style is her genuine commitment to my success. Thanks to Begum, I have achieved my ACC. If you are looking for a coach who genuinely cares about your journey and is dedicated to helping you reach your full potential, look no further than Begum Verjee

Working with Begum has been such a positive and transformative experience in my journey to becoming an ICF-certified coach. From our first session, it was clear that Begum not only possesses deep expertise in coaching but also a natural talent for nurturing the potential in others. Her mentorship has provided me with invaluable insights, techniques, and the confidence to develop my own unique coaching style. What I appreciate most is her ability to create a safe and supportive environment where I can explore, challenge, and grow. Begum’s feedback is always constructive and delivered with empathy, allowing me to refine my skills while exploring new ways to show up as a coach. I’m grateful for Begum’s guidance and the impact she’s had on my development
