Who am I?

Hey there, fabulous people! I’m Sheema Khan, a Registered Psychotherapist, Business Owner, and Marketing Professor. Yes, I wear many hats, and they all look fabulous on me!

With an MBA from York University and an MA in Counselling Psychology (yes, I braved that during the pandemic – talk about multitasking!), I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table, whether it be to my counselling clients or my entrepreneurship community. After spending 20 years rocking the corporate world in sales, marketing, e-commerce, and sales strategy, I decided it was time to shake things up. Why settle for just one career when you can conquer multiple?

Owning my own business was a no-brainer. I knew I wanted to blend my therapy expertise with my business acumen and share all the juicy insights with you. Leading, coaching, and mentoring became my jam, and I realized that mental wellness is the secret sauce to peak performance and productivity. As I embraced my leadership journey, I showed up differently for my team, prioritizing their mental health and overall well-being.

I love teaching as well! I teach Marketing Communications, Introduction to Marketing and International Marketing as well, and I love every minute of it!

And that’s how my private practice, Supporting Your Journey, was born! As a newbie entrepreneur, I’m diving headfirst into the exhilarating world of business ownership. I’m here to spill the tea on everything I’m learning and teaching along the way. So buckle up and join me on this wild ride – it’s going to be epic!

I can’t wait to share with you my journey so far. Read my blog for more.

So, why Shine with Sheema?

I wanted a space for me to share my journey, the learnings I have had and will continue to have, and my thoughts and feelings about mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and beyond. The intersection between leadership and psychology is so fascinating and ever changing and I would love to continue to explore it through my writing and share it with all of you.

The site is a work in progress, and I will continuously be learning and adding resources and inspiration that will generate new ideas and ways of thinking.

My hope is to explore ways in which we can all be better versions of our selves and shine a little brighter than we already do. Keep on shining.

My blogs are my own personal opinions about what I have experienced or sometimes a reaction to what I have read, heard or watched. In my capacity as a psychotherapy student and a corporate leader, I will be focusing my topics on the intersection of both.

I’ve witnessed first hand how devoted she is in achieving success and growth for any business she works on. She also goes out of her way to ensure that her team is always given direction, coaching, and adequate support. She has always been open to feedback from the team and I found her to be a great people manager."

"Sheema was a valued member of the team who always brought a positive attitude and collaborative approach to her work with a focus on delivering results. She always met a challenge head on and approached it as a chance to learn and develop."

"Sheema's strongest asset is found in her leadership qualities. Whether it was her ability to influence others to drive action, or her strong knowledge of the business and right level of detail to provide valuable insights. Sheema was always laser focused on delivering for her business, but most importantly her team."
