I love my 1:1 coaching sessions with Merve. She is a great listener, has an incredible memory, and is, therefore, able to connect sessions / stories and thoughts together. She helped me break down issues and concerns I've been experiencing related to my career and structure them so they seem easier to tackle. Thanks to Merve's great business acumen and ability to zoom out of and zoom in on topics as relevant, I have been able to think through my work and life in macro and micro levels. I have had many a-ha moments along the way that have shone a light on blind spots, and informed my actions. I feel changed and recharged after each session.

Merve has a unique blend of skills that are perfect for anyone who is looking to unblock invisible barriers and take their business to the next level. She comes with an incredibly strong business background and has an innate ability (I would even call it a sixth sense) to listen and connect the dots. She's been able to identify my mental blockers before I had even realized they were there. Merve has enabled me to realize the business goals that I originally thought were unattainable. I can't recommend Merve enough!

I did group coaching sessions with Merve for about 6 months. We built an excellent team and successfully completed a complex project during this time. Merve has an innate ability to ask good questions, listen intently, and drill down on areas she spots will be important in achieving the goals. She is highly energetic, inspiring, and encouraging, and has a lot of experience with teams. I also valued her blending exercises from values to strengths, from mission statement / vision identification workshops to branding / marketing brainstorming into our sessions, which were super helpful in completing our project as a well-functioning and highly productive team. Throughout the process, I discovered a lot about myself which benefited me in my job search and later in the career I chose to pursue.
