Power-informed leadership coaching & mentorship
This practice refuses neutrality. Leadership that is based on skills-development alone assumes power is neutral and treats the context as a level field.
We know it is not.
Power-informed leadership is skills applied with a clear reading of how power actually operates. It’s three things working together.
Locating power within yourself: your own authority, your relationship to your own interpretation and judgment.
Reading power around you: how it moves through gender, nationality, race, class, generation, and structure.
And acting from that reading: recognizing manipulation, knowing when you’re being managed, moving without waiting for permission.
How, you ask?
You bring what you’re dealing with: a work situation, a relationship, a decision, a pattern you keep running into, a weight you can’t quite locate. I bring neurolinguistic tools, applied inside your specific relational and cultural contexts, and frameworks that challenge singular truths and the binary orientation of organizing meaning.
Together, we hold your leadership in full view: how it moves through power, through authority, through everything around you. And how you relate to yourself, to others, and to authority itself.

Start here and read about how power moves through structures before you bring it into a session with me. How it shows up across gender, race, class, and culture. What manipulation actually looks like when it’s wearing the mask of dialogue, care, support or advice. Read this and decide.
What people say
Zeina helped me see through confusion I’d been sitting in for a long time, the kind where you know something’s wrong but can’t say what. I came out of coaching actually feeling like I could trust my own read on things again. She’s wonderful, kind, brave, and insightful. I recommend her highly
— Charlotte C.
I was stuck between implementing the HQ mandate without question, and managing a team that was growing restless with no real direction. Working with Zeina allowed me to stop treating that bind as something wrong with me. I’m not pretending to have authority I don’t have, and I’m using the authority I do.
— Rita H.
You know it’s the right approach when the attention shifts from individual “survival” coping solutions to a deep dive into the structures that caused the harm in the first place. Zeina doesn’t ask you to get better at enduring something you shouldn’t have to endure, or to adapt to fit a space that was not built for you.
