About Me
Hi! I'm Dilara Rzayeva
I am a coach, mentor, banking professional, and a language enthusiast.
With over a decade of progressive experience at a top Canadian bank — ranging from strategy expert and people leader to product manager — I have coached and mentored numerous people to progress and succeed in their career paths.
My coaching journey started over six years ago, and I quickly realized the strong impact a single conversation can have on someone’s life and career. Over the years, I have helped clients create meaningful career plans, enhance their impact and influence, and achieve desired promotions. I have also supported new managers in clarifying their first steps and building trust with their teams, leading to significant performance improvements.
I am truly passionate about helping people uncover their full potential and focus on what matters most to them.
I believe that continuous learning, curiosity, and openness to change are what shape our experiences in life. Facing roadblocks should feel like an opportunity to push forward, learn, and be proud of our successes. As your coach, I will walk alongside you and help you turn challenges into possibilities!

I loved that Dilara has provided me a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. She is not only a wonderful listener, she has also skillfully coached me in getting clarity with the issues I was facing. Dilara is generous and had provided amazing insights and had guided me well in recognising my problems and how to overcome it.
Thank you so much Dilara for helping me and for being such an amazing coach!

Dilara is a fantastic coach - we have been working together for a few months and I found our sessions to be always really valuable. Dilara is asking the right questions to shift my perspective or think about solutions that I wouldn't have thought otherwise. I feel very comfortable talking to her as she creates a really safe space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings.
After our sessions and with Dilara's guidance I have found different solutions and ways that helped me achieve my goals and she really helped me to stay motivated and on track. I would recommend Dilara to anyone who is looking to work with a coach to achieve their goals.
