Reem has been my executive coach since 2018, when I was the chief executive officer of the department of the chief minister and cabinet.

Reem was instrumental in improving my self-confidence and helping me to understand the effect myself belief was having on both my and the executive team’s ability to deliver on outcomes.

As part of our coaching sessions Reem also provided me with the tools to:
- work with the entire executive team to improve our performance as a team
- develop goals and actions to achieve those goals
- make a step change in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of my work patterns and operating rhythm, particularly during the incredibly hectic time in the early days of COVID.

What was most incredible about Reem’s coaching was that she was able to understand the complexity of the people issues I was dealing with and then provide workable solutions, despite not having worked in the sector. Her knowledge and understanding transcends the specifics of industry sectors.

In addition, without Reem’s experience, guidance and support I would not have had the courage to make a dramatic shift in my career.

My only regret is that I did not meet Reem earlier in my CEO career.

I would highly recommend Reem as a coach for any CEO or senior executive looking to dramatically improve their, and their team’s performance.

Jodie Ryan

^{Chief Executive Officer, Department of the Chief Minister and Cabinet, Northern Territory}

Prior to working with Reem I was a fairly new CEO, still trying to find my feet and the confidence in myself to carry out the role. Reem took the time to understand me and what I wanted to achieve from the coaching sessions, then worked with me on setting my goals to move forward. Whilst the goal setting was challenging, Reem's guidance was amazing. Once complete Reem coaching me to apply an operating rhythm to my work, focused on serving my goal and achieving my KPIs. This as assisted me in my role more than I can explain. I now have a level of focus and rigour to my role and work that I did not have previously and am much more productive and in control. Some of my executives have noted the change in me, telling me that to them I seem more in control and that I am setting the pace (rather than it being set for me). The focus I have achieved through this has given me a sense of calm and serenity (and confidence) that I didn't think was possible in this role.

Reem is now coaching me to coach my executives team, to do exactly as I have done. I am so exited to share this work with my team and help them set their goals, because I know how much it has assisted me in my work and in my role.

Reem's approach and manner always creates a safe and tranquil space for me to work through issues. I always feel calm and centred after a session with Reem.

My regular sessions with Reem keep me accountable which is key to the significant progress I feel I have made this year.

I commend Reem as an executive coach to any CEO or senior executive. I can't speak highly enough of how Reem has helped me. In my works, Reem 'has fixed me'.

“What does success look like for you…?”

That is the simple question that Reem asked me but it was one that would provoke hours, days and weeks of thought.

I think, as you look back on your professional and personal life you are able to identify moments. You identify moments where you took a chance, moments where you failed or succeeded, moments that inspired and challenged you, and moments that made you grow. You also identify the critical people that were pivotal to the success that you are today.

10 years ago I branched out into a new career – pharmaceuticals. I was a born sales person but I was unsure of how I could fit into, what always seemed as, such a conservative industry. Being coached by Reem gave me the clarity and belief that I needed to truly know that I could succeed in this role, as well as my bigger career ambitions. Business became like a game to me and I like to think that Reem was coaching me for the biggest game of my life. Reem helped me to stay on track, hold me accountable, consistently meet with me to discuss my thoughts, decisions and actions, and create a plan and timeline that I could follow to achieve my goals.

One of the most important aspects of my time with Reem was the three non-negotiable’s:

- Be true to your values -

- Be true to who you are and why you do what you do -

- Fail fast and succeed faster -

Ten years on from meeting Reem, her three non-negotiable’s have become my daily mantra.Reem saw the potential in me, and for that I owe her everything. My hope now is to inspire, teach and transform people in the manner Reem did for me.

I believe when you look back at your career or life it is easy to identify the people who made a critical difference on your journey.

For me, Reem Borrows is that person.

“Young”, “hungry”… and maybe a little, “confused”.

Sounds a bit like you? Those are the words I would have used to describe myself before the universe connected me with Reem, in July 2017. One of the highly respected leaders in the healthcare industry suggested that I speak with Reem. Since that initial phone conversation, I have been one of her students. Thinking Into Results has been eye-opening, has given me great confidence to go after my goals and I am beginning to truly comprehend the correlation between one’s thoughts and results.

As impressive as the programme is, it is Reem’s individualised coaching style that has made the biggest difference for me. Her compassion, dedication and tailored approach have helped me tackle the challenges which most young professionals would struggle with, in a professionally demanding work environment. She successfully helped me to gain a more mature perspective on unfamiliar situations, and to shape my ever-evolving goals, which I am constantly working towards. Although we have only worked together for a short while, she has had a lasting impact that has reshaped my life direction for the better; both professionally and personally.

Since that first phone call with Reem, I am more hungry for success than ever and better still, I have never been more sure of the direction that I am headed. I am grateful for the opportunity that I had with Reem, and would recommend anyone else to get in touch with her, without any hesitation!

I have known Reem for some time and over the years I have watched her develop and grow teams that started-off being fragmented into to teams that are full of energy, drive, and working collegially together. Reem also helps create a strong sense of purpose. She understands what it takes to create a unified vision that inspires all. More importantly, she develops simple processes, systems, and training to ensure effective execution and follow-through actions.

So, when it came to starting my own business, I knew that I wanted to work closely with Reem. I wanted her help with my goals, my plans for growth and the expansion of my new business. As Reem often says, “Every coach needs a coach for continued growth and success in self and business”. I knew that I would love her to be my coach and I wanted to find out what system she used to help people and businesses perform at their best.

I did not know anything about the Thinking Into Results program but based on my respect for Reem, I signed up immediately. I knew her professional background and experience and I also knew how strong her skillset is. I am so thankful that I trusted Reem and have found the Thinking Into Results program to be the most powerful personal development program that I have ever been a part of.

There is a proven process to be followed. Reem lives and breathes this program and is a fantastic coach who knows the material inside and out. She brings her 21 years of strong experience working in the corporate world to life, making it easy to practically apply. On reflection, Reem has assisted me in more ways than I initially anticipated and she has helped me to achieve my goals personally and professionally.

Reem is a great trainer and instructor who can help you navigate through the Thinking Into Results material. She plans and structures her time with one or two items for you to focus on. Small changes add up over time and ultimately have a huge impact on your results. I have found that one of her strongest assets is to break down a complex goal into small pieces, making the journey seem so easy and simple.

Again, it’s only when I look back do I see how far that I have come in such a short amount of time. My life is so different to where it was a year ago. I am happy, healthy and enjoying my new business venture. I am certainly well on my way to immense success.

I highly recommend Reem and the Thinking Into Results program. It is the best investment, in myself, that I have ever made!

Reem always says, “Get out of your comfort zone… as that is where the magic happens!” Well, the past 6 months have been Magic!

Suzanne Privot

^{Director of Sales}

I have known Reem for approximately 7 years now. At one time, she was my direct manager, however, now she continues to be my mentor and coach.

From the moment I met Reem, I instantly felt such warmth and strength from her. We met in a group induction and I beelined for her as soon as I got a chance. She had such a presence about her but what stood out the most was her genuine desire for people to succeed.

Working for many years for various blue chip companies, I always struggled to connect with many women, in senior roles, within my industry. This experience was never inspiring for me and, as a result, I never really felt myself flourish within my workplace.

When I met Reem, she had such a nurturing, empowering approach, I think it was the first time I had experienced someone who genuinely seemed to want to make a difference to my career not focused on how I was going to achieve the companies success.

From that first conversation that I had with Reem, she was so open, thoughtful and encouraging. She really listened to me and had an exceptional way of understanding what it was that made me ‘tick’. From that moment on, all of her guidance and advise assisted me to make substantial improvements within my workplace and allowed me to set achievable goals, and to experience a greater level of success than ever before.

Reem coached me from a mediocre sales representative, who simply coasted along, refining me to a highly capable, eloquent account manager with an ability to see opportunity where there was none before. Beyond her role as my direct manager, she has continued to coach and develop me in the various roles that I have moved into. She genuinely cares in seeng people being the best that they can be even.

I look back on who I was personally and professionally before I met Reem and she most definitely has ‘polished’ me into the person that I am today. I now experience amazing success, in a role that I absolutely adore, and this has directly come from the guidance and advice that was offered to me by Reem.

In my experience, it is not often in corporate structures that someone comes along with such passion and drive to develop the individual succeed. Reem understands and believes that the success of the whole is imminent when individual success is a priority.

They say, “do what you love and love what you do” and you’ll never have to work a day in your life! If you are serious about investing in your most important asset – your people, and in taking yourself and/or your business to the next level, then I have absolutely no hesitation in the endorsement and recommendation of Reem Borrows. For me, she sets the benchmark when it comes to the field of training, coaching and personal development.
With over 20 years experience, Reem is ‘the real deal’, with both a personal and business track record to match across three major multi-national organisations. From personal experience, it is clearly evident that her core passion and dedication is aligned to achieving company objectives and deliverables via the development, support and growth of its people – at a departmental, cross functional, organisational and/or individual level. If you are looking to bringing your unique culture to the forefront and raising your engagement levels to an all time high (internally and externally) then look no further!
Reem’s dedication and astute ability, from tailoring of initial programs through to implementation and execution, will leave you, your team and business feeling invigorated, refreshed and ready to take on the world, with results that stick.

Gary McCaw

^{Head of Strategic Acquisition}

I had the pleasure of working with Reem for over 2 years. I was one of 50+ staff under Reem’s leadership and I can honestly say that it was one the most beneficial and rewarding experiences in my career.
Reem’s ability to adjust her leadership and communication style to suit any scenario was amazing to watch. I was truly inspired by working within Reem’s team. I felt engaged, empowered, energised and most of all, I felt like what I was doing and my overall contribution was helping to achieve our team goals.
To this day, I have not seen a more influential and thought-provoking leader. Reem always knew how to slow down, to take the time to listen and understand who you are and what your challenges and aspirations are as an individual. She offered a friendly ear, an open mind and always provided strategies and vision to inspire you to think more holistically, yet with a channeled focus.
The most admirable thing about Reem is that she empowers people to be successful. She allows you the space that you need to grow with practical guidance and simples plans to achieve your desired outcomes one step at a time. The best part about her mentoring is that I could really see how much she was invested in the personal growth of her team members, this was also felt and acknowledged by the entire team.
Thanks to Reem, I now know what the difference is between a manager and a leader. I will be forever thankful for having the opportunity to be mentored and led by such an amazing woman. Reem opened up my potential, she believed in me and set me on a professional and personal trajectory that will influence and shape the rest of my life.

^{State Manager}

Reem is one of the most valuable people we have here at Proctor Gallagher Institute Consultants. Do yourself a favour and listen very carefully, and then ask her any question you want about how you can develop yourself or your organisation.

Bob Proctor

^{Chairman & Founder, Proctor Gallagher Institute}

I highly encourage anyone looking to expand their thinking and results to the NEXT level, choose Reem as your mentor, she's the best.

Gloria Rees

^{Owner, Limitless Consulting}

With Reem's expert mentorship and coaching I have set and achieved goals beyond what I ever thought was possible, and now I only focus on 'what' I want, and know that the 'how' will fall into place.

Lisa Heeney

^{Owner, Aromabuff}

Reem is without a doubt the best investment I have made in our business development and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to take themselves, their team or their business to the next level and beyond.

I remember Reem saying to me during an early conversation that you cannot connect the dots looking forwards, you can only connect them looking backwards.

If I was to speak to the person I was before I embarked on this mentorship journey with Reem, I'd tell him that in 8 months he wouldn't recognise himself, or his life.

He'd be operating with complete clarity and focused direction.

- He'd be free of frustration.

- He'd spend more time with friends and family.

- He'd release weight and become healthier than ever.

- He'd accept, love and appreciate himself.

- He'd have more time for hobbies, and not spend his entire week working.

- His business would be thriving, with increased revenue and profit beyond belief.

- His team would be happy, motivated, productive and efficient.

- He'd become an exceptional leader.

- He'd do so much more in less time.

- He'd earn more money in 8 months than he had in the previous two years.

- He'd be in flow; no more grinding, hustling and forcing.

- His life would be so much easier. And fun.

I'd tell him that he'd be himself; just more happy, fulfilled, creative, competent, self aware, motivated, and successful, and that it would be a lot easier to achieve than he thinks it would be.

Of course, he'd probably not believe me, but I'm beyond grateful that he decided to work with Reem and Dreem Consulting.

When you look back and connect the dots, you can plot your path to success. For me, choosing to be coached by Reem was the single defining moment, and the best decision I've ever made.

We had so much fun!!! Seeing all sides of Reem, as we studied and travelled internally for additional training together, showed me the range of skills and awareness this lady bring to her clients and work. Dynamic, agile and impressive, Reem knows what she is doing and she gets results.

Brad Pickard

^{Sales Manager}

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Reem and Dreem consultancy. She has great insight into how people work and is able to use this knowledge to help develop her clients so that they can better articulate, and in turn, visualize their life as they want to live it. She has an incredible set of tools for helping us better understand ourselves and what drives us individually. She quickly builds confidence and trust. Best of all, she asks insightful yet challenging questions. Some of this can be confronting, but ultimately very powerful and liberating. She is a great thinker, speaker and all-round human being!

Luke Shaw

^{Business Development Manager}

I highly recommend Reem Borrows! After searching high and low for the best business coach to help me launch my business successfully, I finally met Reem on a Project Management zoom call and instantly knew she was the right coach for me! Reem gently opened my eyes by having me change my mindset, resulting in a fire of momentum of what I wanted in life. Reem helped me to be brave, climb and jump over my terror barriers and launch my events business during a pandemic. This time there were no excuses - only the steps to succeed. I will be forever grateful for joining Reem, her team and working through these steps of success with absolute gratitude.

Liz Clark

Dannie Cadavid

^CMO

My journey with Reem has helped me understand who I am as a part of a team, and what my roles are. Her sessions have helped me understand better situations I might face both personally and professionally.

She makes us see the world in different perspectives. From the root of the problem to the big picture, she is a vehicle to understand ourselves and the way our feelings and actions affect our day to day life, and might vary upon our goals and objectives.

Valentina

^{AV Co-Ordinator}

My experience with Reem and Dreem consulting has been very enriching both professionally and personally, it has helped me to change the approach to things, to reprogram my thoughts and in turn the way of doing things to achieve the goals in a more real and practical way.

Reem brings calm and always hits the nail on the head with her words and advice, after each session there is a new learning and a deep analysis of ourselves.

I am very grateful to have the possibility of growing with Reem.

Taylee

^{Financial Co-Ordinator}

Gratitude towards life is what I feel after every session with Reem.

Coaching is an incredible journey towards being at peace with yourself and life. There is no going back after you acknowledge your mind is everything and it is within you to give yourself the life you always wanted. The better you understand yourself, the better you understand people and all of your surroundings.

Reem has taught me to behave like my dreams are a reality and I can't thank her enough.

Erika

^{Marketing Creative Leader}

My experience with Reem has made me understand the importance of working, living and relating consciously, identifying the actions that are around.

Daniel

^{Art Director}

It has made me grow as a leader to learn the processes of personal and professional growth, one of the most valuable things I have learned with her is to understand that everything has a meaning and that we are all an iceberg to be discovered.

Andreina

^{Tech Co-Ordinator}

Reem has been an instrumental support to my professional development and career path the last couple of years. Having taken part in 2 of her Leadership Coaching Programs I have more awareness around my "Knowing - Doing Gap"....I hadn't quite realised what a procrastinator and 'faffer' I was and also how little real self-awareness I had.

Reem offers heart-led leadership, passion and is genuine, authentic and kind, which offers a nurturing yet tough and effective coaching style as she also makes you accountable to take steps every single day towards your goals and dreams. Love this woman to bits.

Victoria Marriott

Reem is most definitely the most influential sales mentor I have encountered during my career.

Reem made it clear what her expectations were as a manager and then provided me with all the tools I needed to ensure I achieved our goals together.
