About Me

You’ve checked all the boxes. You have the titles, the global roles, and the external milestones. But internally, the narrative is different. Instead of leading with vision, you’re "surviving" the day—reacting to fires, navigating cultural friction, and feeling a persistent drain that success was supposed to cure.

I’m Saima Geelani, and I help high-achieving professionals and leaders transition from Stress-Based Leading to Purpose-Based Leading.

A Perspective Forged on Three Continents: Leadership doesn't happen in a vacuum. Having led HR functions across North America, Europe, and Asia, I’ve lived the nuances that data can't capture. From the boardrooms of New York to the cultural complexities of Paris and the high-growth markets of Asia, I’ve seen what makes leaders thrive—or break—on a global stage. If you are leading cross-border teams or navigating high-stakes transitions, I bring the cultural intelligence to help you move with grace and authority in any environment.

Beyond Advice: The Science of Your Energy In a crowded field of "advisors," I provide the gold standard of professional rigor. As an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and iPEC New York graduate, I don't just help you manage your calendar; I help you master your internal state. Using the Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI), we peel back the layers of hidden mental filters and cultural conditioning that cause stagnation. We upgrade your internal "operating system" from overwhelm to opportunity, returning you to your most authentic, powerful self.

Academic Excellence: Educated at Oxford, Harvard, and INSEEC Paris (Major de Promotion).

Industry Depth: 17+ years of HR leadership in high-pressure sectors like FinTech, Pharma, and IT.

Professional Integrity: ICF Accredited (ACC) and iPEC Certified.

I work with leaders who are successful on paper but ready for something deeper. I provide a confidential, high-trust space for you to drop the "mask," reclaim your edge, and finally lead with the clarity.
