On My Mind — Episode 3
في هذه الحلقة تسأل أنهار عبد العزيز سامر: لماذا تهتزّ قيمة المرأة في نفسها حين تنتقل من موظفة إلى مديرة على الفريق نفسه؟ حديث عن «الفوبو»، وهو الخوف من أن يصبح المرء غير ذي صلة في دوره الجديد، وعن السيطرة التي يدفع إليها الخوف، وعن قيادةٍ تقوم على اللطف والحضور بدل تقليد الرجل.

On My Mind — Episode 2
في هذه الحلقة تسأل ياسمين سامر: هل الألم عدوّ نحاربه أم رسالة نُصغي إليها؟ حديث عن ثقافة المسكّنات التي تُضمر «العضلة النفسية»، وعن الفرق الجوهري بين السعادة المرتبطة بلحظة قادمة والرضا الذي لا يُعاش إلا هنا والآن. من الوجع الجسدي إلى وجع العلاقات، دعوة لتغيير علاقتنا بالألم قبل أن يتحوّل إلى ألم أكبر.

On My Mind — Episode 1
في هذه الحلقة يربط كوتش سامر بين الإيمان والحضور من زاوية نادراً ما نقف عندها: لماذا نخاف الخسارة رغم إيماننا، وكيف يتحوّل الاعتقاد الجميل إلى سلوك حقيقي بدل أن يبقى «كتاباً جميلاً يلمّ التراب في المكتبة». من معنى الهلع والجزع في القرآن، إلى لحظة إسلام عمر بن الخطاب، إلى فكرة الأصالة كجسر بين ما نؤمن به وما نفعله — دعوة للتحرر من التعلّق بالنتائج والعيش في وعي وحضور حقيقيين.

The GPS of Life · A session for students and young adults
An open GPS of Life session for students and young adults: two hours online with Samer Hassan. For the Hajj Volunteer Health Program team, who spent the season fully present with the pilgrims, attendance is a gift from Kun Coaching Academy in appreciation of what they gave: enter the team code at checkout. **Everyone around you carries a map for your life. Only you carry its compass.** A major. A career. A job market that asks for everything at once. Everyone around you has an answer, and among all those voices your own is barely heard. In two hours we set the noise aside, so that before the decision, you meet the one who will make it: you. **What you leave with** - A felt, bodily sense of the difference between a choice that is yours and one that belongs to someone else. - One real question from your life, looked at from your own bearing rather than from the pressure around you. - A first taste of the three skills: presence, profound listening, and authentic expression. The session is built on Somatic Thinking, a published, presence-based methodology, and is led by its creator, Samer Hassan, founder of Kun Coaching Academy and an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC). You are listened to without being advised, what is said in the session stays in the session, and the meaning and the decision remain yours.

Sense · Ep 3: What ChatGPT Can’t Do, and Why That’s the Whole Point
I said yes to being interviewed by Pamela, an AI host — to experience it before judging it. In Episode 3 of Sense, I answer the question a study put in academic language: can AI replace a human coach? The answer lives in three things a machine cannot make — a body, a presence, and an awareness.

Sense · Ep 2: When Fear Rules — The 48% Hugging Their Jobs
Forty-eight percent of employees hold onto their jobs not because they love the work but because they’re afraid to leave. In Episode 2 of Sense, I look at the fear that runs our workplaces — and why your identity isn’t your job title, it’s your presence.

Sense · Ep 1: Somatic Intelligence — The New Literacy of 2026
Presence isn’t retreating from life — it’s engaging it fully. In the first episode of Sense, I sit with "somatic intelligence," named a new literacy for 2026, and why the closer machines get to the mind, the more we need to come home to the body.

Somatic Thinking — The Beginning
For thirty years I lived inside the martial, wellness, and somatic arts. After master's studies in China I came home to Egypt and opened a small academy where people came to train the body and, without quite naming it, to find their way back to themselves.

'Nothing New Here'? Somatic Thinking for the Academic Mind
This reader arrives with a face I know well. Not arrogant — trained. They've read the literature, sat through the conferences, and can tell a sturdy idea from a decorated one. I respect that objection, and I don't run from it.

The Radar Leader: Leadership Through Somatic Thinking
Think of the last time you walked toward a meeting you knew would be hard. Moments before the door opened, something happened in your body: a slight tightening in the jaw, heat rising in the chest.

The Perceptual Spheres
By now we've spoken a great deal about presence. But presence to what? Here is something easy to miss: you can only be fully present to one thing at a time. Presence isn't a floodgate thrown open; it's a matter of where you place your attention.

Somatic Thinking: Reviving the Wisdom of Body and Self
Picture a man standing, suddenly ablaze with anger. Before he can even bring his mind to bear on it, the Prophetic guidance reaches him with an instruction aimed first at his body. This is the cleanest expression I know of a truth I have built my life's work upon: feelings are built upon sensations in the body first.

The Contemporary Murabbi: Somatic-Thinking Coaching as Revival, Not Import
Every time I sit before someone who hears the word "coaching" for the first time, I can almost watch the sentence form in their eyes: this is something foreign to us. And I will make a claim that may sound large: that coaching, rightly understood, is not an import from the West, but a revival of the role of the murabbi.
