BESTPRO Academy International was founded by Prof. Dr. Betül Saf, who is an ICF Master Certified Coach, an environmental scientist, and university professor. Her path runs from a PhD in water resources and a post-doctoral fellowship in the US to building her own science-based coaching method, PURE Coaching™. That blend of a scientist's rigour and a teacher's heart runs through everything BESTPRO does.

Prof. Dr. Betül Saf, MCC's first career was in water and environmental science. Today that background meets her coaching in one of BESTPRO's most distinctive areas: sustainability coaching for organizations. We work with the leaders who carry an organization's sustainability commitments and the broader teams that execute them, helping organizations align their culture with sustainability practices.
Whether you're training to coach, being coached, or working with us inside an organization, our proprietary PURE Coaching Method underlies our work together.
People, their decisions and emotions are shaped by multitudes of parameters. Growth is never a straight line from goal to success.
We not only explore uncertainty, but we also turn it into opportunity. You make sense of your situation and uncover paths you didn't even think existed.
We reach below the surface and get to the root of your behavior. You work on real change, rather than a temporary fix that fades away.
Working with Betül Saf changed our perspective at the root. As a team we became more in sync, more agile, more open to change — and most of all, we came away with a genuinely new vision for sustainability. Her corporate coaching program is what moved us into recycling, and today we’re a company whose name shows up in international tenders.

CORPORATE TRAININGS
I dreamed of becoming an opera singer since I was 11, but family pressure led me to study Civil Engineering. Through our coaching sessions, I found my courage and decided to follow my dreams. She asked questions that unlocked something within me. My dream of becoming an opera singer became reality.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING
The training has a certain discipline and a different style. It’s a mold-breaking training, unlike anything I’d seen before. The way every detail is worked through one by one, like fine embroidery, and the way it builds from the small pieces toward the whole — for me, that’s the magic of this training.
