More than anything, I’m someone who derives my joy from seeing others thrive, both professionally and personally. I have navigated the ups and downs of being a founder, CEO, entrepreneur, and previously, an employee at a large corporation. I bring my lived human experience to the table and believe that we all need space to explore ideas without fear of reproach. Too many entrepreneurs and executives believe they need to scale the mountain alone, but in my opinion, that only adds to time-wasted, frustration, and decreases our chances of success. My approach is one of empathy, non-judgment, combined with absolute no-nonsense feedback. I listen to the words behind the words. I want to be the person in the arena with you, helping you get unstuck, hitting milestones in less time and with fewer headaches, while celebrating your victories, big and small. As I always say, “don’t think, just call.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/d571fbe4-7a3f-4182-993c-c11336c4729c/IMG-20210423-WA0015+%281%29.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/0da74ace-cde2-457f-acce-7fd797b82975/Turkey+Horse-drawn+carriage About -

But despite what the world sees when a founder succeeds, there are countless indignities, difficult decisions, and uncomfortable truths founders must face on the journey that only mentorship from experience and insight can fully address. Having a profoundly insightful but approachable counselor who not only empathizes but roundly understands the weight of the work you do each day is not a luxury for a founder, but a bare necessity. Alia is that type of coach: supportive but not indulgent, firm but not pushy. Just as back pain can originate in hip misalignment, so can we as founders focus on the wrong pain points that ultimately steer us off track. Alia is a master at encouraging mindfulness of your North Star — understanding what it is that a founder needs to observe to achieve their goals, and gently directing attention to the areas most in need. Having an advocate like Alia on your side is truly a secret weapon that can be the difference between early stage burnout and early stage success. When founders have one problem, there are really 11 smaller problems manifesting in that single big issue. I can’t say enough good about her holistic approach; in a fast-moving space where lightening fast coaching sessions to address “one thing” are common, it’s a privilege to work with Alia, who takes inventory of your humanity and views your startup as the intricate web of objectives it is. As a non-technical founder, my considerations run the gamut, and team politics and dynamics have taken on an added layer of deliberation—and stress. Alia has helped me navigate some truly difficult situations and decisions with a skillful but effortless level of intention and warmth. Life as a tech founder has been the most thrilling yet simultaneously the most demanding undertaking of my life; I’m tremendously grateful to have the advantage of Alia as an ally and sounding board on this journey.” — Ashleigh Marie Brown | CLAIRE Fertility, Founder | CEO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/a9215290-04cd-4099-aeb3-eceaa1bd5f6c/AndreaB.jpg Testimonials - “Alia has been an emotional well-being lifesaver for me! She helped me make sense of two critically important yet distinct items that had come to a head at a critical juncture in our business: (1) what was best for me (emotionally, mentally, and physically), and (2) what was in the best interests of my business, and most importantly, how to reconcile those things. Alia continually provides concrete, easy-to-apply advice on understanding my triggers, managing them to keep my EQ in check, and helping me operate from a place of self-compassion. The brain space she has helped me free up for focusing on my business and the practical, entrepreneurial advice has been invaluable. She truly understands the highs and lows of the startup world and consistently and vulnerably shares her own experiences.” — Andrea Bjorkman | CEO and Co-Founder of Find Your Fizz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/f072adab-a102-44bc-8086-4b5ba2255b8a/lIndsey+Headshot+Square.jpg Testimonials - Make it stand out The art of “professionalism” demands sculpting your best talents and training according to specific requirements and forcing everything else to the background. Employers are not paying you for your personal agenda. Or so I thought. That is what makes Alia Rahman a rare find. A conversation with Alia transpires with her listening and processing all you are saying (and even thinking). She has a subtle skill of honing in on your pain points, your passion, and your purpose even when you may not realize it. The chemistry between us is obvious when she then aligns key aspects which best describe my life experience and my career purpose. In a noticeably brief time she acknowledges and empathizes with both personal and career pain. She recognizes my vulnerability and molds it into an enabled, focused founder I had been struggling to create. She optimizes my innate skills while also guiding me to let go of my own misperceptions, nudging me to “give yourself more credit”. Alia provides brilliant emotional intelligence when appreciating me as a whole person--which enables me to grow while focusing on what I do best. (She also surprises me that she can skillfully address technical entrepreneur sidebars!) My self-imposed pressure seems to dissipate as we work together. I am thankful for the chemistry between the two of us. Then-- I begin to hear of similar unique responses about working with Alia, one after another—each founder mesmerized with a new vision of how best to utilize their skills as a founder. So it seems that Alia’s “chemistry” is her remarkable talent to transform us all, individually, to be our absolute finest! — Lindsey Hoggle, Co-Founder of Two Percent Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/b15678a9-20ad-48e9-bf63-6659f129c24a/Leo+DiDomenico.jpg Testimonials - “All too often our own mental image of our business and personal problems are distorted. Alia can help. She is a good listener with exceptional insights to help correct a perceived and distorted image of the problem into exceptional clarity. She can help you create a realistic image of what is needed to do to get back on track. Alia was very helpful to me, especially at the intersection of my business and personal life, when both were in direct conflict. She has provided exceptional emotional intelligence solutions to help me move forward and I would highly recommend Alia to help bring you a fresh perspective, combining great emotional intelligence with entrepreneurial insights.” — Leo DiDomenico, PhD | CEO GiantLeap Technologies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/35f9f44d-eee8-4361-a341-87ca23c5e08b/Jen2.jpg Testimonials - “One of the most valuable skills any coach or mentor can have is knowing how to ask insightful questions. When I'm feeling stuck, I tend to ask myself the same questions over and over, believing that the problem will be resolved once I find the right answers. But that theory never pans out. I've come to realize that the reason I get stuck is not because the answers to the questions I'm asking myself are wrong, it's because I'm not asking the right questions, and so the answers are completely irrelevant for the resolution I’m seeking. Because of Alia's expertise in business, human behavior and emotional intelligence, she is keenly gifted in knowing how and when to ask the right questions that will inspire us to reflect differently on our situation. It's in that unique reflection where the solutions are found, and where the barriers once thought to be insurmountable, dissolve.” — Jen Emerick | Co-Creator + Co-Founder of A Mighty Good Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/adc8a466-5e3b-4c8b-9221-22366aaba8c1/DSC_2600-removebg-preview.png Testimonials - “As a new founder who came into running their own business relatively late in life, I struggle with all the typical things: imposter syndrome, obsessing with how to scale, worrying the business issues will never get solved. At the same time, being older often puts me in a rush, and forces me to be realistic about how much I can take on while preserving my work/life balance and my own health. I do not have the energy stores, (or necessarily the resilience) of a younger founder. Alia has helped me manage all of these competing forces within my life and always leaves me feeling more in control, more successful and better able to tackle the next phase of building my business with a more focused, but realistic approach. Alia helps you feel whole, human and like yourself again when you are at risk of being lost in the hustle and your “entrepreneur” identity.” — Jennifer Doherty | Founder JSD Human Resources Consultancy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Testimonials https://www.aliarahman.com/reviews-1-1 daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6169f0584022fa6c8b2f4d3e/b3f4c390-b0ab-42b0-b487-2325cb433c05/Claire+Fertility.png Reviews 3 - “The appeal of life as a founder to a certain personality is, in essence, because we love to learn, enjoy navigating ebbs and flows, and are broadly resilient and tenacious.
