Empowering Professionals to Lead with Confidence
Siddiq has an extensive background in law, with more than 20 years of professional experience working as a lawyer, and later as a partner in a leading London law firm.
During the course of his career, he managed complex legal matters while also taking on significant leadership and managerial responsibilities. His role involved overseeing teams, supervising junior lawyers, and ensuring the smooth functioning of the firm’s operations. Through this experience, Siddiq gained a deep understanding of the challenges that come with managing a wide range of diverse personalities, maintaining team morale, and dealing with the constant pressure of client expectations.
One of the main recurring frustrations he encountered was the costly and time-consuming cycle of recruitment and training caused by high staff turnover — a challenge that many organisations continue to face on today’s competitive market.
His journey of personal growth and transformation began in 2009 when he took part in Landmark Education’s Landmark Forum, followed by the Advanced Course. This was a pivotal moment in his life, sparking a profound and insightful process of self-discovery, which ignited his passion for personal development. Siddiq began to see the power of mindset and communication in transforming not only his own life, but also the dynamics within teams and organisations. This revelation inspired him to dedicate himself to helping others unlock their full potential and lead more fulfilling, purpose-driven lives.
Determined to deepen his knowledge and continue his education, Siddiq went on to train with The Coaching Academy, qualifying as a Personal Performance Coach in 2019. He further developed his expertise by becoming a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) practitioner in 2020 and later a DISC personality profiling trainer in 2022. These disciplines have equipped him with key practical tools to help individuals and organisations understand behavioural patterns, enhance communication, and create positive working environments, which foster engagement and growth.
Siddiq’s life-changing journey is captured in his book From Lawyer to Life Coach, which chronicles his evolution from a successful lawyer to a purpose-driven coach, helping others achieve positive transformation. Through his coaching practice, he now works with managers and HR consultants in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to improve staff retention, increase performance, and reduce recruitment and onboarding costs.
By combining Coaching, NLP, and Personality Profiling, Siddiq empowers leaders to better understand their teams, communicate more effectively, and create workplaces where people thrive. His mission is to share the insights and tools that changed his life so others can build more cohesive, motivated, and high-performing teams.
