About me

Hello, I'm Buket.

I created Afterlight Circles to help people navigate life's transitions with greater confidence, self-awareness, and direction.

For over twelve years, I have worked in leadership development, coaching, facilitation, and talent management, supporting individuals and teams through growth, change, and complexity. My background includes ICF-trained coaching, ORSC (Organizational & Relationship Systems Coaching), Insights Discovery, facilitation, and mentoring.

My professional experience is matched by my personal one. I have rebuilt my life through relocation, divorce, burnout, relationship endings, and the uncertainty that often comes with major life changes. These experiences taught me that while transitions can feel overwhelming, they can also become powerful turning points when approached with the right support, perspective, and tools.

Through Afterlight Circles, Private Support, and The Afterlight Journey™, I combine coaching, reflection, practical frameworks, and deep conversations to help people move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain to feeling more grounded, confident, and clear about what comes next.

I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to this work. My approach is both compassionate and direct. I will listen deeply, ask difficult questions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and offer practical tools and perspectives to help you navigate change and move forward with greater confidence.

If you're ready to invest in yourself and the next chapter of your life, I'd be honored to support you.

With love,

Buket
