Manal Saroufim
Coach / Business Professional
Manal works with women in leadership to navigate responsibility, power and impact without sacrificing wellbeing or integrity. Her practice draws on experience across law, diplomacy and government, weaving practical strategy with embodied and energetic wisdom to support leadership that is both effective and deeply human.
As a certified coach for sacred leaders, Manal supports women to navigate the challenges and triumphs of leadership, ensuring they make a difference in the world while prioritising their well-being and attaining success on their own terms. She has found a way to really embrace her inclusive, circular, feminine leadership in a structured, male-dominated and often hard-edged world.
From her time as a lawyer, then diplomat, to my roles in Government working on high-profile challenges, she has always wanted to make an impact that truly makes an impact on the lives of Australians. She finds a way to mix the practical world of business expertise with the deeper wisdom of energetic practices, intellectual curiosity and embodiment rituals that she's gleaned from her personal healing journey. Her leadership has been celebrated for creating empowering cultures.
Manal offers a no-nonsense, concrete approach to getting results, delivered with gentleness and compassion.
