Dr. Salima Shamji

Salima’s mission is to help high-achieving professionals have more work-life balance by building a personalized plan for more time, energy and vitality to do what matters to them. Salima uses her expertise in leadership, medicine, entrepreneurship and mindfulness as well as her experience as a person of color leader to help professionals optimize potential while living with purpose.

Salima’s passion is coaching on leadership and resilience. She is also a physician with over 25 years of experience, a professor, and a qigong teacher.

What makes her unique as a coach is that her work in the area of geriatrics has enabled her to see the "end of the movie," so she deeply understands how various stressors can affect one's life in the long run. She uses this knowledge to help clients rewrite their stories so that their outcomes align with what's most important to them. Then, she uses all her experiences to introduce individualized and specific strategies that work. This results in professionals who know their "why" and who live with intention.

Salima is certified with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coaching (MGSCC). She is an expert in resilience.
