Greetings of Peace. Hello! Welcome to my profile. My name is Thamina Anwar. I am also known as Samina which is my birthname given by my late father. I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand with my 2 young children.

Lets rewind back to a few year. I was born in Bangladesh to 2 medical doctors (physicians). I moved to Malaysia when I was 3 years old and then followed my family to Brunei Darussalam when I was 7 years old. My parents were very busy with their careers as medical doctors, serving the Malaysian and Brunei governments. So I had to grow up very fast and learn on the life’s ups and downs at a very young age. Life was not always easy as a child. As the eldest child, I had so many responsibilities and things were even harder as I used to “think too much”. I did not have many friends during my childhood. I was very shy and too conscious of other people’s opinions although I was very vocal among people I was familiar with. I used to hate to study when I was a child.

Having said all that, my late father was my mentor. Although he was extremely busy, with his charismatic characteristics, he taught me humanity, love, to speak out, debate, to be a life long learner, to love books, to cook, to clean, ……
Life become tougher during my teenage days. When I was 15 years old, I had to leave home. I was flown to a strange country to get educated- to the UK. It was really a shock for me as I was placed at a private boarding school. Coming from a tiny country call Brunei to a big city call London and being a teenager, I could not settle for years. But the love of my father kept me going and I knew I could not let him down.

TESTIMONIALS

"Flexible. Intuitive. Responsive. Caring. From our first coaching session together, Thamina helped me clarify my thoughts on my life and career transition. She identified what I needed to do to move forward. I was also going through a divorce that time after a marriage breakdown. She helped me see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ by breaking down the steps I needed to take into bite-sized actions. I would highly recommend Thamina as both a career and personal purpose coach - in fact, this combination is what makes Thamina such a wonderful coach and human being to work with. Her follow-through is remarkable, as is her steadfast positive attitude. I would definitely work with her again!"

“ Thamina is a gifted listener. It’s more than her empathy and ability to focus on someone else; she is uniquely able to distill what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. Her ability to do that distinguishes her from all other Life and Business coaches. Thamina has the smarts (brains), drive, education and experience foundation essential when communicating with executives. I believe that Thamina was meant to be a coach - such a natural with her extraverted personality and straight forward mindset. I find myself often thinking about her words, remembering them and acting upon them. I recommend Thamina highly as a executive, life and career coach.”
