Lead their squads confidently and get that solid nod of respect and buy-in for their ideas.

Nail that sweet spot between killing it at work and living authentically in their personal life.

Kick-off every Monday with a buzz, ready to get into the week with fresh vibes and clear goals.

Stop playing small and unleash their real potential.

We’ve been there 

Like you, we grew up in the challenges that make millennials unique: entering the workforce in a recession, the rise of social media, 9/11, COVID-19 pandemic. 

We understand how it feels to be in high-demand roles and what it takes to sustain career advancement and a fulfilling life

Millennials now make up most of the workforce globally and take on leadership roles. 

But we saw Millennial leaders struggling with burnout and feeling stuck in their high-demand roles.

We founded Sahaḥ because we know how much potential we have as a generation.

We don't need to be limited by how previous generations in senior leadership roles believe we should 'toughen up'.

Nothing is more important than making sure that we, the new generation of leaders, are given the right support at the right time.

Sahaḥ Unshackled Minds sprang from a genuine need to address Millennials' unique challenges as we step into leadership roles in an ever-evolving global landscape. 

Having personally navigated the pressures of advancing in demanding careers while juggling life’s big moves—like relocating cities and managing a young family amid economic fluctuations—we saw a gap in mainstream life and leadership coaching methods. 

The coaching we provide at Sahaḥ aims to revolutionise coaching with a program grounded in neuroscience and focused on building mental strength (Control, Commitment, Challenge, Commitment) to enhance mental performance and well-being. And is specifically tailored to empower Millennial and younger leaders.

Hi, I’m Regine Francisco

Having experienced the burnout and mental health struggles that come with being a high-achiever, I understand why the existing leadership support and company incentives are no longer working for younger leaders.

I don't believe in 'slowing down' or 'taking it easy'.

Self-compassion is understanding how we maximise our potential at the intersection of mental performance and well-being. We don't need to sacrifice achievement for well-being or vice versa, nor should we sacrifice family for career or vice versa.

Behind my academic achievements, successful career, and entrepreneurship was a girl who struggled to find her place and fulfilment.

I always knew that I was made for more, but I didn't know what 'more' looked like.

I was burnt out and wasn't sure if the portal to true work-life fulfillment existed.

Today, I am living a life I love, pursuing a career that lights me up, and happily married to the love of my life.

I have over ten years of experience in multinational companies and have held leadership positions in high-performing teams. I’ve also founded or co-founded three start-ups. 

I’m a certified Results Coach and on the leadership team of the International Coach Federation (ICF) New Zealand Chapter. With a solid foundation in Business Management, I bring well-rounded expertise to our coaching sessions.

Hi, I’m Dave Sharma 

I am passionate about mentoring young leaders. I have a wealth of leadership experience, having managed teams in international hotel brands and founded three businesses.

I encourage you to embrace authenticity, take risks, and pursue your ambitions.

Beyond my professional journey, my personal story—from a less privileged background to successful ventures —exemplifies the resilience and confidence you need to succeed.

I assist in delivering our transformative programs and am your go-to person for all your burning questions and epic moments with the business.

Outside work, I’m a home-based comedian and full-time cat dad, and I enjoy running and exploring the great outdoors.
