Coaching

Funlab undertook a huge project with Zaana to unveil true insights of our guest experience across our key entertainment brands Strike, Holey Moley and Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq. Zaana is one of the greats. Her capacity to understand business complexities, coordinate across functions and implement our huge guest experience project with guaranteed outcomes is a super skill. Our team loved working with her in a number of collaborative workshops across a number of our functions. Her ability to connect at different levels within the business showed her adaptable talent but more importantly her emotional intelligence to gain best results.

My visioning work with Zaana was enlightening, deep and clarifying - which is a testament to Zaana's gift for coaching, stewarding and sharing wisdoms grounded in Zaana's unique life experiences. It clarified a holistic vision for the life I want to manifest, but also more importantly reminded me of who I want to embody as I continue on this journey.

I received a Human Design session from Zaana in early 2024. During the session, Zaana used visuals, easy to digest information and her beautiful supportive holding style to help me see my gifts, and strategies to embrace all of the parts of myself. I learnt so much in my session, and found it practical, grounded and enlightening. Thank you so much Zaana!

I’ve worked with Zaana both as a personal coach and within an organisation leading project delivery. What stands out in both cases is her sharp insight into what needs to be done and how to do it effectively. Her quiet style cuts through the noise to help people get to heart of the issue and move to designing outcomes. She is a delight to work with and has shown me how to refine my thinking toward the outcomes I need.

Stephanie White (Founder and Director) Yellow Donkey Growth Consulting

I worked with Zaana in a leadership workshop and after liking her approach I decided to engage her as a personal coach. Zaana is an exceptional listener with a calming nature, holistic perspective and an understanding of fierce corporate culture. Working with Zaana has helped me to assess both my work and life with a greater perspective. She is a great outside voice for anyone trying to look inside.

Patrick (Account Director) Retail Company

Zaana is brilliant. She has vast experience and deep knowledge, a passionate and open-hearted approach to coaching, an ability to bridge multiple knowledge domains and synthesise them with nuance and relevance to bring them to your unique life context and she has a genuine commitment to your development and growth. Zaana melds her own personal development journey, spiritual shamanic practice, energetic healing modalities, deep academic grounding in design and years of experience in consulting to be in full support of your development.

If there's one word I could use to describe my experience working with Zaana, it would be "transformational." Her coaching has been instrumental in transforming my life, enabling me to overcome challenges, embrace my strengths, and unlock my full potential. What makes Zaana distinctive to work with is her background as a Top Tier Management Consultant, where I think she honed her analytical skills and developed a deep understanding of complex issues. The main reason I would highly recommend Zaana to someone else is her unique ability to balance intellectual depth with genuine care and empathy.

Dr Jemma King (Director) Biopsychanalytics Pty Ltd.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dr Zaana as a collaborator and also as her coaching client. Zaana has a very unique set of human qualities that she brings to her work. Firstly, she is incredibly intelligent and at the cutting edge of current trends and movements that benefit business. Even more importantly though, she has incredible emotional intelligence and is able to draw on her deep intuition and empathy to develop appropriate and personal solutions for individuals and organisations. Working with Zaana will change the way you look at the world in the best possible way.

Christian Duell (Director) White Light Education

Zaana has such a sound sense of mutual benefit that I know she will take the lead when she see’s fit and hand back as needed. She delights the participants in the Master of Design Futures in many ways, especially by showing them that taking on challenges while being careful of one's own well-being goes hand in hand. And that all this can be done with grace and ease.
