Hi, I'm Dr. Saba Syed.
Let's rewrite the rules on your terms.

I'm a pharmacist, educator, and member of the International Coaching Federation; but more than that, I'm someone who's been where you are. For years, I followed the traditional path in pharmacy: top schools, respected roles, the "right" milestones. But somewhere along the way, I realized that success without alignment wasn't sustainable.

So I stepped off the beaten path. I built a career that fits my values, not just my title. Today, I work as a C-Suite executive, teaching other women and BIPOC leaders who are ready to do the same.

Whether I'm coaching one-on-one, mentoring students, or speaking on leadership and career development, my mission is the same: to help you succeed without losing yourself in the process.
