“Malaika talked me through my situation using a very structured process. We often don’t realise very obvious things unless someone is talking us through them. It’s just a question of having the right skills and approach. Talking to Malaika, it’s like a lightbulb went off. I had these realisations. I was really glad about that.

“I would absolutely recommend Malaika. If you’re stuck, just got for it. She has an extremely insightful way of asking questions, and gives great, well-though-out feedback. She helps you get a sense of what you want. She helps you gain more clarity.”

She also helped me understand exactly what I can do starting today.

“First of all, a heartfelt thank you for addressing the burnout syndrome, which is a real risk in a fast-paced environment where we are so eager to help others that we forget to take care of ourselves. Most people avoid speaking about burnout, or mention it really quick as if it were a contagious disease…

“You are probably the last person I would suspect had gone through it, but the fact that you have, and that you are open about it, makes me respect you even more.

“Thank you again for the work you do! You are a true source of inspiration.”
