Sakina_Najmi_Coaching Life & Business Coach I began as an individual contributor and carved my path upward, eventually landing in the C-suite of a cutting-edge tech company.

I grew up in Pakistan—an endlessly curious, fiercely ambitious girl who treated every street-corner billboard like a masterclass in persuasion. Marketing felt like a kind of magic, so I chased it across borders: first the United States, then the United Kingdom, collecting degrees, certificates, and diplomas the way some people collect passport stamps. Soon, I was running global go-to-market for an AI startup that rocketed from stealth to nine-figure revenue. From the outside, everything looked perfect: a lofty title, conference keynotes, a Slack channel that never slept. On the inside, I was taking investor calls from the hallway outside my daughters’ ballet class, tweaking keynote slides between swimming-lesson high-fives, and negotiating with myself for “just one more late night.” The promotions kept coming, but the thrill didn’t; success felt oddly hollow, burnout disturbingly familiar, and impostor thoughts louder than any quarterly earnings call. I wanted answers, not platitudes, so I enrolled in a dual degree in Neuroscience and Psychology at King’s College London—lectures at dawn, creative reviews by noon, bedtime stories right on schedule. The science confirmed what experience had only hinted: cortisol hijacks creativity, multitasking shreds memory, and by the age of 35, the brain runs mostly on autopilot, recycling 90% of yesterday’s thoughts. No wonder the next promotion never cured the restlessness. Armed with those insights, I redesigned everything: deep-work sprints instead of marathon days, micro-recoveries that reset my nervous system, rituals that enforce a hard stop for family dinners. Business results soared, my team’s capacity multiplied, and exhaustion gave way to deliberate momentum. The transformation felt too important to keep to myself, so I left the corporate track for coaching, determined to give other high achievers the neural owner’s manual no one ever hands us.

Focusing on yourself means spending time and energy on thoughts and actions that help you achieve happiness and meet your own needs. It's a cornerstone of self-care, which is crucial for physical health and emotional well-being. Focusing on yourself involves self-discovery and taking small steps to change your life for the better.

Have faith in yourself; develop confidence in your own power & reliance upon your own resources. If you believe you can, you will; if you think you can’t, you will never be able to.
There is much truth in the old Latin motto: “Possunt quia posse videntur.” They can, because they think they can.

What we tell ourselves, whether fact or fiction, reflects how we see ourselves in the world. It is the line between failure and success. Powerful and positive self-talk can have a massive impact on how successful you are on any journey you take or any obstacle you face.
From a neuroscience perspective, positive self-talk reduces stress hormones, and helps to increase serotonin and endorphins, the happy hormones. Words are extremely powerful and positive self talk can decrease pain and distress tolerance. Positive self talk can also help increase energy levels, because your body is not constantly being rundown by all the unhappy and stress chemicals.
During our coaching sessions, I help clients to increase their positive self talk and strengthen positive pathways and cells in their brain. You can also do it yourself by following a few simple steps:
*Bring awareness to your self-talk
*Is it negative
*STOP
*Change the Language
*Write it out
*Visualise
*Practice
