So in that way, it can be financially accessible, low ticket. And those who still want one-on-one coaching, just they can jump on a call with me and then we can see if there is a match. That's what I do today. But actually, I love these free clarity calls I do every day. I have three spots every day limited for women who really need some clarity, feeling overwhelmed.
And sometimes 15, 30 minutes is enough. And others need more. Okay, I'm there. Some just need a community. Some need one-on-one coaching. It's not a one-size-fits-all, but I love the journey. It's learning by doing as well. It's not perfect. And that's great. Done is better than perfect. The learning is in the doing for me. And that's what I practice.
And that's what I share with all these amazing women.
because my program is online and I actually focus on the world. So most of the women actually indeed come from the US, Canada, even India. One from Singapore indeed. It's the MENA region, Middle East, North Africa. It's actually beautiful to see how actually the cultural context, the face, the layers are universal, really.
When we talk about feminine energy, masculine energy, male, women, it's whatever. All these layers, it's really universal. And so when we talk about women, feminine context when we talk about what a woman or women experience in leadership positions. That's actually what I can really draw today from all these different women all around the world I talk with every day. And so the cultural sense
it's really not depending on like local context it's I think it's more cultural it's about cultural challenges women face but there are again universities it's about sexism it's about racism it's about societal expectations and these different layers you need to provide tailored guidance and support so I have women who say look the last 10 years I had coaching but they were all male coaches life coaches business coaches but they don't seem to
grasped at deeper layers that women face they just i've just hit like the boundary i cannot dig deeper with this coach so actually i need a woman that can whom i can relate and i think that's logic it's like going to therapy if you go to couple therapy for example relationship relationships. I know here in Belgium, for example, we have a lot more and more intercultural couples.
So couples that, you know, with different ethical backgrounds, etc. And it brings certain, again, other complexity with it. So the therapists here, most of them are native Belgians. So they are mostly white. And after two or three sessions, these couples face difficulties because they cannot dig deeper. The therapist cannot relate
with the world, with the cultural, with the implicit language that just is part of the intercultural world. And so that's why I love the fact that we are with so many different kind of coaches, that there is diversity. And that's why I chose the niche of women. Of course, I can coach men. There are also men who are jumping on calls with me and want to work with me. And yes, please, let's go.
But I just know that's why I chose this high-performing woman. I am, I was, and I am a high-performing woman. And just feel I can relate more to different layers. When we talk about relationships, when we talk about your position as a daughter, as a sister, as a friend, as a lover, as whatever.
the first female board member as the first female whatever, we are confronted always with the same judgments, with the same difficulties, complexities. And that's so nice that you don't need to put all your energy in explaining all these things. And someone can just relate and you can just put in the work together. That's what you want. You want to put in the work.
You don't only want to overcome it. You want to learn.
to live with difficulties and to accept actually the different the curveballs and the challenges that that life throws at you and so i think it's more that it's more like really coupled with cultural yeah culture and gender or maybe for others religion and sexual orientation i think these are all these different layers so that's why the supportive community
with all these different kind of women is so important because there they can really share experiences, gain insights, support each other. It helps combat isolation and it really brings a sense of belonging that mostly something they miss in even very in their inner circle with friends or maybe at home even. So that's why it's great to have that kind of sense of belonging and find it somewhere.
But it's not linked to a country or something because also for me, I was born here, but I'm Moroccan. But in Morocco, I'm Belgian. So in the world, I'm just Sihem, Moroccan Belgian woman that today has Women Leaders OS and is an impact consultant. And I thrive in actually...
These situations where we have challenges and people want impact and we can just work together, collaborate and inspire common goals and do things together. That's, I think, not country or geography, but really like just the environment, like you said. It's more hybrid. And I love that. I love that.
Actually, what I deal with is life challenges. Like I have hit rock bottom and I had to uncover challenges. my values, my beliefs. I had to accept the situation I was in, that I couldn't go back. So it's really about life.
It can be medical, it can be health, it can be divorce, it can be grief, it can be indeed problems with your child, it can be problems just with yourself, just lack of self-belief, lack of confidence because all this cross-cultural context did to you and how you cope with it. And maybe it's coping mechanism in the wrong way, maybe it's burning you out, etc.
So for me, the great thing is that we all face life challenges and that... I just love and I'm good at reframing these challenges to possibilities for people to grow and to lead you to fulfillment and success in life and career without burnout. Learn how, for example, to set boundaries, not seeing it as of your people pleaser, not seeing it as something selfish or mean.
And the cultural context, the cross-cultural context is a surplus. The fact that We also, all these different layers, experience all these different layers. That's why I can be a better match for someone or the person I can coach, high-performing woman, can be a better match for me. We just, we can relate.
