I specialize in cultural- and assets-based coaching for diverse nonprofit leaders, activists and others. I prioritize clients' values, culture and history so clients may gain new insights into their strengths and talents. Together the client and I design a coaching partnership where s/he can discuss any concern, challenge or issue, large or small, from her/his professional or personal life.

"This was my first time working with a personal coach and I didn't know what to expect. The coaching I have received from Belma has been an invaluable tool to help me move past some of the inner blocks I was dealing with in trying to move forward in my career and personal life. In three short months, her coaching has provided me with enough insight to take me from trying to identify what my "dream job" would look like to actually living a good part of that dream. Through supportive guidance, Belma has enabled me to recognize personal strengths and values and match them to professional goals. Based on my experience, I have the utmost regard for her coaching skills and could not recommend her more highly.
