His story

A coach who built two institutions.

Dr. Haris Syed has spent almost 15 years helping leaders, teams and coaches change how they work.

Haris began as a trainer and performance coach, working with CEOs, business owners, students and industrialists. Over time he saw the same pattern again and again: capable individuals, held back by the teams and systems around them.

That insight shaped two organizations. Coach Transformation Academy trains professional coaches, and its alumni now coach in more than 70 countries. Team Transformation, founded in Dubai in 2015, takes coaching into organizations, working with whole teams and measuring the result.

Today he is an ICF Master Certified Coach, the highest credential awarded by the International Coaching Federation, and a Master Team Coach. He designs the programs behind Team Transformation and continues to coach senior leaders and leadership teams himself.

Through his own practice at harissyed.org he runs NLP trainings, retreats and in-house programs for individuals, teams and organizations.

How he works

Four principles behind every program.

The ideas Haris built into Team Transformation from day one.

01The team is the client

Coach the patterns between people, not only the people.

02Start from real work

Every session begins with a live business challenge.

03Measure, do not assume

A baseline before, a result after, in business language.

04Grow the coaches too

Train coaches to the highest standard, and keep them learning.

Invite Haris to work with your leaders.

Executive coaching, leadership team coaching, keynotes and in-house programs.
