1:1 Coaching with Zakee Shariff – Dream Forward Coaching
Who I Am
Guiding Creatives Toward Purposeful Growth
I’m Zakee Shariff, an artist, designer, and the founder of Dream Forward. A creative and life coaching practice dedicated to empowering artists, creatives, and solopreneurs to harness their unique talents and become the change they wish to see in the world.
With over 26 years of creative industry experience, I bring a rare blend of artistic vision, strategic coaching, and sharp business acumen to my work. As Creative Director of Zakee Shariff Studio, I’ve mastered textile design, built my own thriving art practice, led the printed designer clothing brand Zakee Shariff, and guided creative teams to success. My professional life coach training from The Coaches Training Institute deepens this foundation, allowing me to support others with both creative insight and coaching expertise.
I’m a natural problem solver and storyteller, passionate about helping people navigate confusion and overwhelm. I create clear, actionable strategies that honor intuitive decision-making and personal truth. My lived experience positions me to genuinely mentor others through the challenges of creative and entrepreneurial life.
This isn’t surface-level coaching. My work is a catalyst for deep transformation—where emotional honesty meets spiritual insight, and practical action flows from authentic truth. My clients come to me when they’re ready to fully step into their most powerful, genuine selves.
Through personalized 1:1 sessions (online and in-person) and intimate group work, I create a sacred space for what’s real, what’s stuck, and what’s waiting to emerge. I hold the vision for your highest self, seeing, hearing, and challenging you to rise to your own greater potential. This is not about quick fixes—it’s about soul-aligned transformation that helps you clarify your vision, transform your life, and achieve your deepest goals.
