Real exercise of power within government. Understanding of political dynamics from the inside, not from a textbook.
UNDP methodology for leadership development. International standard not available commercially, delivered by the United Nations.
Specialised University Diploma, Master's in Organisational Management, foundations in Jungian psychology, neurosciences and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
This convergence is the foundation of Nana Zakia Heritage

Approach & differentiation
What distinguishes this engagement
Each intervention rests on verifiable foundations: international certification, specialised university degrees and field experience within Cabinet ministries and intergovernmental organisations.
This dual competence — international UNDP methodology and advanced executive stewardship techniques — enables engagement that goes beyond theory. Every principle has been tested personally in diverse contexts: interstate negotiations, organisational transformations, governance crises.
Jungian psychology & neurosciences
Deep understanding of power dynamics and decision-making patterns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy applied to leadership
Psychological agility in the face of uncertainty and pressure of responsibility
Karpman Drama Triangle — exit patterns
Identification and dissolution of victim-perpetrator-rescuer dynamics in organisations
I do not teach from books. I work from what I have lived in Cabinet ministries, negotiated at the League of Arab States, and learned from the United Nations. Your transformation is not a programme — it is a convergence.

Engagement feedback
They opened a space for reflection with Nana Zakia
Zakia has the art of connecting with the coachee discreetly but with great respect for the person. One quickly feels confident; she has a highly developed sense of active listening. A certain sensitivity, humanistic and without judgment.
Serious, likeable, intelligent but also very well-organised. She has a mastery of her craft that reflects the art of the coaching relationship.
Through her kindness, listening ability, gentleness and above all her methodology, the objectives were completely achieved. I can only recommend Zakia and her professionalism.
What I learned most was how to define an objective and the different paths to achieve it. Also, the activity dashboard for sharing progress and challenges with the manager — essential in professional relations.
I discovered what coaching really was with Zakia and I must say it exceeded all expectations. With no initial conviction about the outcome, Zakia helped me step back and we defined our objectives together.
The coach brings an outside perspective, invaluable support that, through their kindness, will help us be kind to ourselves and achieve the objectives we have set together.
