“Participating in professional development coaching during my master’s program at Zayed University was a truly transformative experience. It helped me understand my strengths and growth areas, build confidence, and develop essential skills like communication and time management. Through one-on-one sessions and peer discussions, I learned how to express my ideas more clearly, manage stress, and adapt to new challenges. The coaching also taught me how to set realistic goals and stay productive, even in high-pressure situations. This experience has had a lasting impact on my personal and professional growth.
