Tamir Hasan

What do poker, software development and coaching have in common?

Tamir Hasan would tell you it’s reading situations through the eyes of others, quickly recognizing habitual patterns, and supporting the discovery of solutions through inquiry. After spending 14 years as a software developer with Metro, KCIT, and the Wastewater Treatment Division, he followed his passion and made a career change into coaching and conflict resolution. With the Alternative Dispute Resolution group and serving as the King County coaching program coordinator, he trains fellow employees to serve as internal coaches to support the organizational shift towards a coaching culture. He also contributed to qualifying the coach training for accreditation by the International Coach Federation, so all newly trained coaches can obtain credentials rooted in industry standards.

Tamir is also a mediator that facilitates conversations between parties, and supports them in developing the skills to repair relationships and find their own solutions in their situation. He regularly leads trainings which teach various conflict resolution skills for groups looking to create the futures the wish to have.
