The G&T Sessions

Sinem is an entrepreneur, coach, and writer. Her work is dedicated to personal development and self fulfilment. During her studies in business administration, she realised there must be more than the usual path of studying and getting a job to pay off bills. At the age of 19, she came into touch with entrepreneurship and realised that’s what she truly wanted to do. After reading several biographies of successful entrepreneurs, she realised there’s one thing all these people have in common: They worked on themselves as hard as on their business.  Personal growth, mental strength, and emotional intelligence seemed to be major components of happy and successful people. After realising that none of these competencies are taught at school, Sinem started organising workshops, creating online courses, and writing blog posts to help other people unfold their full potential and live a life they truly love.
