Leadership Coaching in Dubai International Financial Centre
Iām Dr. Kerstin Brehm, a former trained and qualified cardiac surgeon, later pivoting into strategy consulting at a Big 4 firm, and then stepping into executive leadership as Managing Director of a global healthcare provider. Today, I coach high-performing professionals across cities like Dubai, guiding them through the kind of bold, strategic transitions Iāve successfully navigated myself.
From my coaching base in Dubai Marina, I support clients virtually across the UAE, many of them in DIFC, who are navigating career crossroads, burnout, or just craving sharper clarity.
Leadership Coaching That Goes Beyond the Buzzwords
You donāt need a motivational speech. You need strategy, feedback, and a sparring partner who knows how to perform under pressure, because theyāve been there too.
Iām Dr. Kerstin Brehm. My leadership journey started in the operating theatre as a cardiac surgeon. I transitioned into global strategy consulting with one of the Big 4, and then into executive leadership as Managing Director of a full-service international healthcare provider.
Today, I coach high-performing professionals like you, online and locally from my base near Marina Gate, who live and work in intense environments like DIFC.
This isnāt just about executive presence. Itās about:
- Commanding respect without losing yourself
- Making decisions with clarity, even when the stakes are high
- Leading teams with purpose, not just targets
- Being seen, heard, and trusted at the level you know you’re ready for
Why DIFC Professionals Choose This Coaching Work
You know the cost of poor leadership – burnout, team disengagement, stagnation. The higher you rise, the fewer honest conversations youāre offered. Thatās why this space matters.
Hereās what we work on, tailored to your goals:
ā Executive presence that reflects your values, not a persona
ā Communication and visibility strategy for internal growth or external pivots
ā Burnout recovery without career sacrifice
ā Decisive leadership under pressure
ā Strategic reinvention ā when youāve outgrown your role or leadership style
Whether youāre in fintech, corporate law, private equity, or scaling your own advisory firm, the challenges are similar: people expect more from you than youāre currently resourced to give.
Letās fix that, before it breaks you.
This Is for You Ifā¦
ā
You lead people but feel like youāre faking certainty
ā
You want to grow, but not at the cost of your wellbeing
ā
Youāre up for promotion, or wondering if you even want it
ā
You want someone to coach the real you, not the rƩsumƩ version
Why Work With Me (Instead of an Influencer with a Coaching Certificate)?
Because Iāve led at levels where decisions cost lives, money, and careers.I donāt deliver fluff, I deliver feedback. Iāve coached leaders across four continents through burnout, reinvention, and comeback stories that now look like promotions, C-suite shifts, and board seats.
And because you deserve more than platitudes when youāre operating at this level.

Still Leading Like Everythingās Fine? You Donāt Have To.

Leadership coaching isnāt indulgent. Itās infrastructure for the next level.

What DIFC Leaders Usually Ask Before Starting
Is this coaching virtual or in-person?
Both are available. Many DIFC professionals prefer virtual for discretion, but I also offer in-person intensives when needed.
Will this help me with team challenges or just personal leadership?
Both. We address the intersection because personal leadership affects team culture, and vice versa.
Do you have experience with finance, law, and consulting sectors?
Yes. My clients include leaders in private equity, wealth management, fintech, legal, healthcare, and global advisory.
Whatās the time commitment?
Typically 5ā10 sessions over 2ā3 months. Tailored to your bandwidth and urgency.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. I work with discretion, especially in regions like the UAE where reputation is currency.
