Rana Beri
Rana Beri is an ICF accredited Master Certified Coach (MCC). She is a Transformation Coach helping individuals and groups to identify their values and create a life in line with those values.
Rana is frequently an invited speaker to talk on various topics, bringing them a Coaching perspective. In her talks, she poses coaching questions and facilitates the participants to find their answers as they stay in the Present Moment.
Rana speaks to different groups in Companies, Associations, Universities and NGOs.
Rana is a graduate of two Coaching Schools accredited by the ICF:
Gestalt Coaching Program, Gestalt Coaching School, 2011 and
The Art and Science of Coaching, Erickson College International 2012.
She firmly believes that coaching is a valuable tool to accompany people on their evolutionary path. Her coaching centers around the concept of being present with the client. For years, she has been studying the concepts of Time and Being in the Present Moment. She has been a meditator for many years and advocates the Mind-Body-Soul connection for more excellent balance and well-being in all areas of life.
Rana puts great emphasis on developing herself constantly as a coach. She has attended and continues to attend many workshops and seminars on topics like resilience, neuroscience, NLP, Voice Dialogue, and Limbic Coaching.
Rana Beri received her BA in Translation and Interpreting Studies at Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. She then received her MPhil degree in Political Science at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Prior to becoming a coach, she worked as a conference interpreter at international meetings and a lecturer at Bogazici University.
She is the author of two books:
"Being in the Moment" (2018), in which she dwells upon the basics of the concept, explaining it with day-to-day examples to familiarize the reader to start living in a" presence-based" existence.
In her second book, "Being in the Moment in Relationships" (2020), each chapter consists of a fiction story. The rest of the chapter analyzes the story where the characters can not stay in the Moment.
Presently, Rana is working on her next book in the series. She hopes to dive further into the subject with the readers. Both her books are at the Moment in Turkish.
Her third book, "Living with the İntention of Being", ( 2023), opens the door to a new way of life of fulfilment , joy and peace.
When we structure our lives around the action of "doing," we start living with a "to- do" list we cannot let go of.
Everything all of a sudden becomes dependent on that list:
Our inner voice starts saying "Only when I do all these things, will I find comfort;
Only after accomplishing all these tasks will I find peace;
Only after completing these tasks, I will see the light of day...
As a result, not only does the list of things to do never end, but the peace we believe will come after completing each task and the happiness we anticipate never seem to arrive.
They quickly disappear after a fleeting moment, leaving us alone with the other tasks on the list.
The promises of life are not waiting for us in the distant future but rather within the "Now."
Only if we can stay in the "Now," if we can live with the intention of being", it can be possible to achieve enduring happiness and peace.
In her previous books, Rana Beri courageously delved into the depths of the concept of "Being in the Now." This time, she starts from the two fundamental actions of life, "doing" and "being." She explains that the secret to evolve from a person who lives "with the intention of doing" to a person who lives "with the intention of being" is living in the moment.
She invites the reader to live in the moment through a fresh look at concepts such as
values, decision- making, procrastination and expectations.
Through stories in each chapter, follwed by self- coaching questions, she reveals that living "with the intention of being", as opposed to doing is synonymous with being really alive, instead of merely surviving.
There is no such thing as waste of time . Every moment belongs to its own place.
