Malaika’s coaching was excellent. I now have the confidence and knowledge to approach my goals ! – Karen Wickersham, USA
She speaks with so much confidence and conviction and is great motivator; you begin to see things in a different light. I liked her attitude: driven, passionate and unapologetically confident –Margaret Thatcher type – I liked that a lot. I would recommend anyone in international development to Malaika. She leaves you feeling like a brand new person. There is always something new to learn from her.

“I am very grateful to you for your constructive messages and precious advice. ”
– Diana Derzhavets, Russia
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
