From my heart…More than anything in the world, I want you to know a deep love for yourselves that also permeates the world around you, so that you propel humanity into an era of unmatched peace and prosperity.But first, you must stop being “right” about your certainties and judgments and start engaging in open conversations with both those closest to you and those with very different ideas, even when they feel it is futile to do so.

Board Retreat


Just about every Board of Directors or Board of Trustees of any type of organization (for- or non-profit) gathers together on some kind of regular basis to discuss the policies and administration of their beloved organization. On an annual or biennial basis, the Board goes on a retreat together. What usually happens at this Board Retreat is more of the usual business, just at a deeper level of conversation. So, if you, as a member of your Board, have been raising the issues you encounter in your non-profit, the annual Board Retreat becomes an opportunity to have longer discussions about those same topics..

Personal Coaching


At some point in your life (probably several) you will need a Coach. You will want someone to hear you, to understand you, and to give you feedback on you – on who exactly it is that you have been for years, what role you have been playing, and just how to change in a direction and manner acceptable to you. This point in your life may be because you are leaving or starting a job; you are getting into or out of a marriage; you are dealing with stressors in your organization that have you stumped on a way forward; or you may be dealing with a new promotion that has you scared of letting down your superiors..

Business Coaching


Our non-profit organizations today are in trouble.75% of non-profit executive directors plan to leave their jobs within five years; nearly 70% claim they are underpaid; and this is happening in a sector with shifting regulatory concerns, both at the federal and state level. The truth is, it is so difficult to begin and sustainably operate a non-profit organization in today’s world that it is hard to see the cards as anything but stacked against you..

About Me

I am an Organization Consultant with five years’ experience consulting for various organizations, mainly in the not-for-profit sector.

I believe that productivity in any organization is directly linked to how the members of that organization are functioning, both at the individual and group level. When the members of the organization increase their personal and group awareness, and like each other more, they will naturally work better together, increasing the overall productivity in the organization. This will, over time, increase profitability.

How do I do work?
I act as a catalyst for the organization, specifically intending to help the people in that company embrace change and gain clarity about their work. By infusing the client with energy to allow them to make that change they want to embrace, we co-create the ideal version of their company, in functionality and structure.

 
I specialize in these areas:
- Organization Development
- Appreciative Inquiry Strategic
- Planning Executive and Individual Coaching
I bring strengths in the following methods and interventions:
- Facilitation
- Small and Large Group Theory
- Team Building
- Board Development
- Feedback
I am certified in the following instruments:
- The Human Element
- Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-on)

 
 
  • Helped our organization and brought a sense of clarity in our direction at a time of confusion and transition.
  • Before I worked with Parvez, I was in between careers and didn't know where or what I wanted to do. He helped me realize over the course of four months what I wanted to do with my life and what my major goals were and how to achieve them. He also helped me recognize what my driving factors are, and now I can say that I am running a successful business of my own. I know what motivates me and what my essence truly is so I can be productive and live a happy, fulfilled life.
  • Parvez looks at the grinding gears in your brains, exercises suggestions, and allows you to grease your own gears with positive, forward-looking thought.
  • Parvez encourages and challenges you to break down your current status quo and requires you to think past today and into tomorrow.
  • Parvez cares about your path and permits you to fall in head first as well as stumble through the process of life coaching. He makes a difference.
  • A week filled with hope, support, comfort, and most importantly, education.
  • I enjoyed my time with Parvez.  I came to him with a set goal and short time frame. He ewas able to help manage through a challenging barrier to ind a a space to understand how I was hindering my personal and professional process. Through his active listening and his process, we shared quality time to meet my needs.  It was exactly was I wanted from a coach.

Why the name?

The sage is one who searches for a broader truth, challenging us to be authentic. This includes, but goes beyond, intellectual knowledge, to the reality created by our behavior and emotions. Within organizations, the sage helps individuals to develop a vision and a global perspective. Organizations call upon the sage when they must (re)identify a purpose and a mode of being. The sage understands that empowerment is not doing for others, but helping them do for themselves.
