Navigating Leadership Transitions: Coaching Analytical Minds with Reza Rahmani
In today’s episode of Discover Fresh Perspectives, host David Gouthro sits down with Reza Rahmani, an accomplished coach with a unique journey from engineering to leadership development. Reza shares his story of navigating well-defined career paths as the child of immigrant parents, how his curiosity and drive for impact led him from clean energy engineering into HR, and ultimately into the world of coaching.
David and Reza dive into the art and science of coaching—exploring how leaders can bridge analytical thinking with emotional intelligence, find their footing through major transitions, and uncover the deeper values and blind spots shaping their professional journeys. Along the way, they reflect on the differences between coaching and counselling, the power of self-reflection, and why embracing our inner game (with a little help from tennis analogies) can make all the difference.
Whether you’re considering working with a coach or simply interested in new perspectives on leadership, this conversation promises thoughtful insights and a few laughs along the way. Press play!
