"Fawzya, thank you for the opportunity to be on your radio show and share my recovery journey from a traumatic brain injury. I had lost so much after my fall; I thought I would never be able to function on the intellectual level I had had when I was teaching students and creating lessons. Your services as an executive function coach gave me the bigger skills sets, I needed to motivate me and expand my brain capacity to the point that I manage a part-time business. Being on your show today seemed like a celebration to see how far I have come!
I acknowledge your genuine love for people and learning, Fawzya. With your help I now can create and, again, make a difference in the lives of other people. What a delight to know and work with YOU! Are your customers raving about you on social media? Share their great stories to help turn potential customers into loyal ones."

Testimonial
"I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Focus on Success podcast hosted by Fawzya Khosti, and it was truly a phenomenal experience. From the moment I connected with Fawzya, I could tell that she is a true professional who takes her work and her guests seriously.
What impressed me most about Fawzya is her thorough preparation process prior to recording the episode. Her level of preparedness is incredibly refreshing and not something I typically experience with other shows. Fawzya values her guests' time and ensures that each episode is well thought out, organized, and structured to deliver the highest value to her audience.
One aspect of the show that I greatly appreciated was the opportunity, right at the start of the episode, to share who I am and my experience. I felt that this allowed the listeners and viewers to better connect with me and gave them a sense of who I am as a person, which I believe is so important in establishing trust and building relationships.
Throughout the recording, Fawzya created a safe and comfortable space. I felt completely supported and comfortable sharing my experience, knowledge, and insights. Her warm and empathetic personality made it easy to open up and share my story. It was clear to me that Fawzya genuinely cares about her guests and their success.
Overall, I highly recommend the Focus on Success podcast and working with Fawzya Khosti. Her insightful, motivating, and inspiring tone combined with her expert knowledge make for a truly valuable experience. Thank you, Fawzya, for providing such a wonderful platform for guests to share their stories and inspire others to achieve success."
