07Curious by nature. Serious about what people can become.
Annie Yahaya.
Annie is a Malaysian creator, builder, executive coach, life coach, educator, facilitator and curriculum designer. Creation is the thread that joins them all.
The builder
Her work is shaped by 21 years in corporate leadership and more than a decade as an entrepreneur. She has trained thousands of participants, developed hundreds of coaches and practitioners, and built learning experiences for individuals, organisations and communities internationally.
She listens for what is missing, asks what the moment is calling for, then turns the answer into something other people can use.
“I am interested in growth that leaves a person with greater dignity, deeper humility and a contribution that reaches beyond herself.”

The question I am taking into doctoral research
When a Muslim says, “I don't need coaching,” what do they mean?
My research explores what shapes Muslim adults' willingness to adopt coaching: trust, fit, expected effectiveness, willingness to invest and the other sources of support they already turn to.
