Amira has spent thirty years working alongside leaders, educators, and organisations, helping them grow their capability to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Her background spans classroom teaching, leadership, national assessment work, and a decade of professional learning facilitation, all of which shape her grounded, relational approach to coaching.

​

Raised in Aotearoa and deeply connected to the education and public sectors, Amira brings a calm, insightful presence to her work. She is an ICF‑trained coach (EOCC), holds a Master of Education (First Class Honours) in Educational Leadership, and is a Level 2 advanced eDISC practitioner.

 

She is also a Public Service Commission (LDC) approved coach, supporting mid‑level leaders, people leaders, and thought leaders across government.

​

Amira works with people who want to grow their leadership impact, from emerging leaders finding their voice to experienced principals, senior executives, and organisational leaders navigating complexity. Her coaching centres on the belief that people grow best when they feel seen, supported, and challenged in the right ways. She helps clients understand themselves as leaders, build their capacity to grow others, and develop the confidence to have the courageous conversations that shift culture.

​

Her work includes supporting principals and Boards with the Professional Growth Cycle, designing mentoring and coaching programmes for organisations, and facilitating leadership workshops focused on self‑awareness, communication, and team culture. She has delivered leadership development for the Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce, Police Women’s Network, and the Government Women’s Network, as well as extensive work with Tātai Aho Rau, CORE Education.

​

Amira’s coaching is grounded in the idea that leaders already hold the knowledge they need, her role is to help them access it, refine it, and use it to create meaningful, sustainable change.
