Bio
Iman Mounib
I’ve had Wessam as a personal and professional development coach for a few months now and he has been incredibly beneficial for me. I’ve seen great improvements in both my career and personal self-development goals. Wessam has helped me build my self-confidence and self-trust by always hearing me and being present to what I am saying. During coaching sessions, Wessam asks me questions to help me realize the answers myself and not develop a dependency on him. Wessam makes sure to keep me on track with what I want to accomplish, and helps me become aware of why I am behaving or thinking a certain way, and the impact that it has on my progress. Wessam is easy to trust. I feel comfortable working with him. I’d recommend Wessam to anyone

Wessam’s positive and encouraging attitude is what makes him stand out amongst others. I’ve had the privilege to study and work with Wessam. During that time, I’ve watched him grow and excel in what he does best resulting in uncovering his greatest skill - coaching. His ability and knowledge of an Agile Coach/Scrum Master has led him to delivering mission critical projects to his clients. He is patient, sensible and really takes the time to understand challenging problems at hand. He knows how to convert those challenges into the best possible working solutions. The best part is he has transformed his skills into a hobby where he has become a Life/Personal Development Coach. I see this as his true passion, and I can’t imagine how far he can go with this gifted talent of his. I have no hesitations in recommending Wessam to any organization he desires.
Owen Mullings
Wessam is a genuinely pleasant and optimistic person who just happens to be very knowledgeable about scrum/ software delivery, great with teams/clients, has a product mindset with incredible attention to detail and is productive, prepared and professional in all his dealings. I had the pleasure of working with Wessam on a project with some US clients for several months and there was never an instance when he wasn't fully prepared and early to a scrum ceremony. He is great at getting everyone engaged and focused on the tasks at hand. He was incredible at creating and managing the backlog so that it can be understood at a glance. Keeping work in progress low and being resourceful in removing blockers. Another behavior that's a testament to Wessam's team leadership was how he learned what drink each person on the team liked and surprised us on occasion with a treat. He was very good at getting everyone involved in team building activities and we appreciated him for it. Thanks, Wessam!
