Charifa Ouhaga

I'm Charifa—a dynamic professional with a passion for coaching that runs deep. I've spent seven years honing my skills in understanding individuals, guiding them toward their goals, and fostering critical thinking. Helping people identify their desires and achieve their life missions is not just a job for me; it's my calling.

In coaching, I hold certifications from Google and the International Board of Certified Trainers, and I've earned a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Diploma from the Moroccan-Canadian Academy of Training and Consulting. This background equips me with a unique blend of empathy, strategic thinking, and a toolbox of techniques to support individuals in their personal and professional journeys.

On the managerial front, I bring five years of hands-on experience, coupled with a teaching background. I've successfully navigated the intricacies of project management, earning certificates from Google, CertifPro, LearnQuest, and the Project Management Institute. These certifications, along with my practical experience, have instilled in me a comprehensive understanding of effective leadership, strategic planning, and the ability to navigate challenges in diverse professional environments.

I see coaching and management not just as roles but as opportunities to empower others and build cohesive, high-performing teams. It's this passion that fuels my commitment to continuous learning, ensuring I stay at the forefront of industry trends and best practices. My journey is a testament to the transformative impact coaching and effective management can have on individuals and organizations alike.
