Coaching For All

About Me

I don’t want to say that “I should have done it sooner,” but after 17 years in executive roles that initially felt fulfilling, and then grew to feel like something was missing, I suppose I do wish I had transitioned into leadership coaching sooner than I did. The last six years have been among the best of my career thus far, because I get to wake up every day and help people create stunningly spectacular lives through work, not in spite of it. Work is too big a part of our lives to have it be anything less than great.

My Coaching Experience

In light of my experience in so many leadership roles over the years, I can confidently say that “I get it” with the hundreds of amazing people I’ve had the privilege of coaching. I get how it feels to be overwhelmed from not delegating, how to navigate the political organisational matrix to get things done (not to mention get ahead), how to work amidst challenge (tough personalities, not enough resources, you name it), how to achieve that elusive balance between success and fulfillment (both professionally and personally). I help leaders at all levels be the best versions of themselves– by identifying what “best” looks like, by being creative about how to achieve it, and by having quite a bit of fun along the way.

Other Experience

My time as a corporate leader included roles in operations, sales and customer retention. Most recently, I was Senior Vice President of Operations at a leading health and lifestyle organisation. I led a private CEO advisory board for five years, which was unbelievably rewarding (and also like herding cats). I just completed a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, which you can bet I infuse into each and every coaching conversation I have: how clients can do amazing work while living lives worth living.

About Me

I found coaching in 2016 when I left the multinational I worked for. It was the time when I had to decide what my new professional adventure would be and coaching initially meant an investment in myself. I saw it as a way to return what I had received from my life even before my new profession, so I decided not to accept a new job in the ICT sector to take on the role of professional coach.

My Coaching Experience

I alternate my coaching practice with the teaching this discipline to new coaches who want to obtain ICF Credential. In this way, I continue to compare personal styles and different ways of helping clients; which enriches my coaching style. With my clients, I create a relationship of sincere empathy and collaboration that aims to help them win their inner game. Clients motivation is the fundamental and essential starting point of any coaching project. Once we have this commitment, it is possible to overcome the obstacles that separate people from achieving their goals, through active listening and questions that stimulate reflection. I follow a methodology based on five steps (Present, Objective, Ways, Execute, Result) aimed at selecting the preferred way to reach your end result and identify the necessary actions to introduce lasting changes in your behaviour.

Other Experience

I am an electrical engineer, specialized in computer science and I have 27 years of experience in the information and communication sector. I spent more than 21 years working for a multinational company and this experience helps me understand the dynamics and situations encountered by my coaching clients. In addition, I cultivate interests such as sailing, photography and I am active in volunteering.

About Me

In my journey of a Coach for 13 years, I have been fortunate to learn from Individuals and Teams. ‘Leading by Choice, than Living by Chance’ was my transition to embrace this journey. I was fortunate to have Gurus from various streams and across several geographies. I also am a first generation entrepreneur and love sports, theatre and am a fitness freak. I have had the opportunity of working with world-class cricketers and sportsman as well. I prefer to stay with my joint family.

My Coaching Experience

‘Thinking about your thinking’ guides my coaching approach. To unveil unique minds, it requires deepened questioning and stretch for the action. This ultimately brings aspired insights and results. ‘Listening for Potential’ unveils immense energy. The click is intuitive yet obvious. I am able to seamlessly move from different coaching methodologies with the objective in mind, yet mindful about the possible transition of the client. Use of psychometric assessments has been useful. Many engagements have become long-term associations. I derive immense happiness and energy in my life from an insightful coaching session. Clients get benefits by:

• Break through thinking and adaptation
• Sustained behavioral change in all realms of life (professional to personal)
• Self Belief and improved execution discipline
• More cohesion with people.

Other Experience

I am a trainer in Leadership and Emotional Intelligence. Have worked with more than 60,000 people from more than 15 nationals. Have published one book and next two are in progress. Been a TED-X speaker and addressed many conferences. I am a proud Rotarian.

About Me

I have been coaching and mentoring for over 20 years, both within organisations I have worked for (Barclays, the Financial Conduct Authority and PwC) and as a sole practitioner. Throughout my career I have always been motivated by helping to make a positive difference to people.

My Coaching Experience

My goals as a coach and mentor are to give back to others and help them make the most of their lives at work. My practice is focused on three elements:

• Supporting senior managers and executives improve their leadership skills and their competence and confidence in dealing with challenging issues
• Helping business owners and budding entrepreneurs grow their business or start up new businesses
• Working with employees who are seeking to change their career paths or develop their management skills.

My coaching and mentoring approach is focused on the client as a whole person (factors outside work often influence behaviour and performance at work) working collaboratively in a friendly and professional way. I use insightful questioning and sensitive challenge to help individuals change how they are experiencing working life from one where they have problems to one where they experience things the way they want to. My coaching is always action-oriented with specific, tangible goals and agreed actions to achieve them.

Other Experience

I have worked for many years for, and with, businesses of all shapes and sizes, and, with a wide range of people from senior managers / executives, to entrepreneurs and new recruits. My main experience is in financial services, where I have been a corporate bank manager and a learning and development manager and in professional services as a senior management consultant focused on behavioural and cultural change.

About Me

I strongly believe that we are what we say, do and feel. Life challenges us again and again, it also speaks to us when we are open to listen to it. Coaching has been a gate to that listening and to my own inner voice, which inspired and helped me in a period where I had lost passion and purpose of personal and professional growth. Coaching drove me to find meaning and value in what I can offer to the world. Coaching also helped me refocus every decision I make and every new idea and project I put into practice. And this is something that I am keen to give to others, I do not want it to remain only for me. I am being who I choose to be and I want to accompany people and teams to be who they set out to be.

My Coaching Experience

A small movement in you can change your entire environment and that of your relationships. This occurs in all areas, professional, family-wise and personal. That potential is within each one of us. As a coach, through questions, listening, presence, dynamics and infinite resources, I create for each session the proper environment for coachees and teams to achieve their objectives, improve their performance, eliminate limiting habits and transform what is possible in reality.

Other Experience

My professional experience spans more than 20 years in multinationals, in different sectors and leadership roles. with regional scope and cross-functional reporting. Passionate about Lean philosophy, I founded my own consulting business in 2009 and since then, I have dedicated myself to sharing and implementing the LEAN principles, incorporating them as a way of life. Expert in leading multicultural and multifunctional teams, I coach and encourage people, teams and organisations to overcome their challenges as well as discover and reach their full potential.

About Me

I have been a coach for two years and work mostly with entrepreneurs, managers, business owners and teams. After 21 years in marketing and business development, and after seven years as a freelance consultant, two years ago I was looking for additional tools to add to my business portfolio to be able to help my clients even more. Coaching became that missing part of the puzzle, allowing me not only to use my own experience and knowledge, but also to consider and work with my clients’ potential and resources.

My Coaching Experience

My coaching practice is based on a solution-focused approach. I partner with my clients in a thought—provoking way in order to help them:

• Expand their awareness of the issues they are facing
• Gain clarity about what they want to achieve
• Identify the obstacles in their way
• Create a strategy to overcome those obstacles and reach their goals

Other Experience

My coaching is aligned with the Ericksonian principles that include among others strong belief that every person has all the resources necessary, and that change is not only possible, but inevitable. In my coaching work I use additional tools (Mindfulness practices, Emotional Intelligence, Positive Intelligence), and I am constantly developing as a professional, learning and practising new tools and solutions.
