Jihane Labib
United Arab Emirates and Morocco
Founder and CEO, CoachingLab Academy; Chair, ICF Professional Coaches Global Board 2026
Executive and team coach, and founder of CoachingLab Academy, an ICF Level 1 and Level 2 accredited coach-training provider. ICF's own profile records 15+ years in practice, more than 10,000 coaching hours across 20 countries, and twelve prior years as a marketing and communications director in multinationals, with client sectors spanning FMCG, banking, oil and gas, telecommunications and media.
Why this placement
She holds the strongest institutional position of any coach in this region: Chair of the ICF Professional Coaches Global Board for 2026, published by ICF itself in its own board announcement. Her MCC and ACTC credentials are corroborated on ICF's own person page rather than only in her marketing — which, given how little in this field survives that test, is the single most important thing about this entry.
Running an accredited Level 1 and Level 2 training provider means she is building capacity for other coaches in a region that has very little of it. On the generosity criterion that counts for considerably more than an individual practice.
Editorial notes and exclusions
- Described here as UAE and Morocco, per ICF's own listing, not as a Dubai coach. Her offices are in Casablanca and the Sharjah SPC Free Zone.
- Several claims on her own site are excluded because no awarding body or year could be verified: a "Best executive coach 2023" title, MENA Coaching Summit recognition, and an Education 2.0 Conference innovation award which, if real, went to the academy rather than to her.
- "First Arab elected to the ICF Global Board" and an EMCC Master Practitioner accreditation are self-claimed and unverified. Performance statistics on her book page are unsourced and are not repeated.
