Leadership Coach & Former Head of L&D | Helping mid-career professionals and executives break out of the "frozen middle" | TEDx Speaker, 20+ years global corporate experience, 15+ years in Leadership & Career Development, 8+ years C-level executive, 8+ years entrepreneur, award-winning coach for leadership & team development. More about me Game on! If you're a mid-career professional or executive who feels boxed into the "frozen middle," leading your team or projects through the everyday grind while somehow being expected to get different results doing the same old things, I'd love to work with you. I've sat on both sides of the table. For 8+ years I led a firm-wide Learning & Development function at an international law firm, reporting to the COO, managing teams across 10 offices worldwide. I coached, trained, and mentored peers, mid-managers, and senior executives from the inside, before I ever called myself a coach. That's why our sessions are grounded in what actually works in a real organization, not just theory. Since 2017, I've run my own coaching and training practice, delivering coaching sessions and leadership workshops to clients including Google, HP, Bayer, Deloitte, EY, Oracle, and Kinstellar, alongside my associate coaching work with BetterUp, GrowthSpace, QFive, and Intellect. I'm also a TEDx speaker and co-author of "The Psychology and Dynamics of Human Energy: How Aligning Energy To Impact Can Transform The Workplace." A bit about me outside the job titles: I was born and raised in Bucharest, Romania, and have called Toronto home since 2017. I coach in both Romanian and English. I discovered running by accident, as a cure for migraines, and it eventually took me through several half marathons. And despite the TEDx talk and the workshops in front of rooms full of people, at my core I’m an introvert, which is probably why I care so much about our sessions feeling exploratory and human, never 'clinical'. I love trees and care deeply about reforestation, am the proud mom of 2 young artists and yes, I do have blue hair. Some of what my clients and I have worked on together: - Executive presence, leadership style, and building a professional brand, including how to manage up and expand your circle of influence; - Building and leading effective teams, including hybrid and multicultural teams, trust, psychological safety, and motivation; - Turning difficult conversations into productive ones, with your team, your peers, or your own manager; - Leading change and innovation within your team or organization; - Communication skills you'll actually use: emotional intelligence, public speaking, feedback, conflict resolution; - Strategic and critical thinking for the decisions in front of you. Whatever you bring to the table, whether it's one of these or something new entirely, game on, let's find your next move together. My philosophy 'The game is on!' I'm your thinking partner, and together we'll figure out what's really in your way, and craft a plan so you can do what now might feel difficult or impossible. In our sessions, we will: - Identify your challenges and your unique strengths, and set clear objectives; - Break down the barriers holding you back, so you can see your situation differently; - Build action plans so you can move forward with confidence. All of this happens in an environment that's exploratory, direct, and genuinely supportive, never judgmental.

Leandro Cordeiro, Director, Partner Offers & GTM at Microsoft: 'Roxana is a fantastic coach, any business leader looking to increase their effectiveness and impact must consider connecting her asap. Been great engaging with her and her team recently.' 2. Bonnie Puntasecca, Tour Operations Manager: 'During one of the most difficult points in my career- I was fortunate enough to find Roxana! I reached out and asked if she would be available for a short-term commitment to help me navigate a challenge. We had a complimentary 30-minute consultation that made me feel even more assured that she could help me. Compassion, understanding, empathy, passion, enthusiasm and highly intelligent are all qualities that come to mind when I think of Roxana. I went in search of someone that could help me navigate a complex challenge, skill up and help me see what I couldn’t - I found all that and more with Roxana. I am eternally grateful to her!'

I spent 17 years leading in the Royal Netherlands Army. Group commander of engineer reconnaissance, senior leadership instructor, mission coordinator on deployment. I led people who had to perform when it counted, and I learned where it starts. The leader sets the tone. Stay steady, and the team stays steady. Now I coach leaders and high performers who look fine on the outside and run on empty underneath. People who've lost the thread of where they're going, or who are stepping into a role that asks more of them than the last one did. I start with a different question than most. Not "who are you now, and what can you do with that." That only gets you a slightly better version of today. I ask what you actually want, in your work and at home, and then who you'd have to become to get there. From there we find what's in the way. A belief that holds you back, a skill you're missing, behaviour you don't show yet. Then you do the work. How I work: I work backwards. Most coaching starts with where you are now. I start with where you want to end up, across the whole of your life. Work, home, health, relationships. Four things run through it. Outcome first, we're clear on what you're after before we touch the how. The whole person, work and home aren't separate. Situational, there's no single right way to lead or to change, and a good leader can switch. Action and proof, we measure where you start and where you finish, so you prove to yourself that it works. I'm direct. I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. You take on a coach for a result, and a result takes action. Reflection without action is a diary. I moved my family to Portugal and built the life I'm describing. So I'm not selling something I haven't done myself. Proven, not promised.

I believe that now more than ever, the business world needs leaders who are truly themselves. I support leaders to transform themselves, their teams, their organisations and their lives by being their authentic, best selves. I do this by offering a unique blend of conscious business, mindfulness and heart-based leader development to help people look inside themselves, to learn about their gifts and their fears. I have experience working with hundreds of leaders around the globe and this experience has taught me that it is only when leaders surrender the burden of their busy minds, open their hearts and lean into the messiness of unlearning defeating habits and limiting beliefs that their perfectly imperfect potential is realized.

Earlier in my career, I was Director of Training and Assistant Director of HR at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, where I championed strategic talent selection, leadership pipeline development, and culture-building initiatives in line with the brand’s commitment to service excellence. My strength lies in helping clients uncover and build on their natural strengths, translating them into purposeful action and measurable results.

Manager au sein de groupes de grandes tailles (Vinci, Sonepar et Frans Bonhomme), j'ai exercé pendant 20 années. Mes différents postes m’ont permis de vivre ces moments ou stratégie, résultats, et développement attendus cohabitent de manière constante. J’ai pu me rendre compte à quel point le sens que l’on donne ou pas à ses collaborateurs est un élément fondamental pour construire l’entreprise de demain. L’alliance de mes compétences de manager à ma posture de coach m’amène tous les jours à accompagner mes clients vers des décisions justes, adaptées à leurs besoins et notre environnement. Mon authenticité, mon adaptabilité, mon intuition, mon pragmatisme et ma capacité à simplifier les processus ont contribués à affiner un protocole qui est de « Décider pour aller dans la bonne direction ». Je m’emploi à faire évoluer ensemble, la vision stratégique de l’entreprise en capitalisant sur les performances de l’individu au service du développement collectif. C’est le résultat obtenu par mes clients qui me conforte dans mon approche. Enfin, mes expériences vécues dans un monastère zen au Japon, m’ont vraiment permis de développer ma posture qui me donne de la clairvoyance pour transcender les dualités individuelles et collectives. Cette pratique m'a aussi permis d’observer que rigueur, ambitions, performances sont cultivables partout y compris dans ces lieux qui côtoient verticalité et abondance. C’est la voie du « Kaizen », littéralement : « le meilleur changement » pour le collectif et l’individu. Je suis convaincu que la réussite est fortement liée à la capacité d’adaptation d’une structure et de ses acteurs. J’ose dire aussi que tout changement n’est pas souhaitable, s’il n’y a pas un réel bénéfice pour chacun dans l’accompagnement global.

As an Empowerment Coach, I assist my clients to transform their perspective on the world. I work with high-performing individuals, passionate leaders, and teams dealing with low self-esteem, Imposter syndrome, and social comparison. In a safe environment, I assist them in articulating their vision, goals, objectives and the power of authenticity. I am an observer, researcher, and reader. The goal is to improve my abilities by gaining as current and relevant knowledge as possible in coaching and business psychology. I'm fascinated by Richard Boyatzis' research on The Science of Effective Coaching/Coaching Neuroscience. The idea of cultural sensitivity's significance in the workplace fascinates me greatly. As an enthusiast of client transformation. My innate curiosity, ability to hold a safe space, and listen deeply help my clients become more self-aware. I help them achieve a sense of autonomy in expressing their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors by holding them accountable for the goals without rationalizing, blaming, or shutting them down.

I am an ICF PCC level certified coach with 20 years of global leadership and coaching experience working with senior executives, emerging leaders, and management teams from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, and industries. Focusing on wellness coaching, I work with my clients to explore and draw on their own innate resources to make positive lifestyle and behaviour changes to support their goals. In addition to coaching, I design and facilitate leadership capability development workshops to help leaders and teams strengthen their influencing skills, communication, performance management and execution. My coaching practice is supplemented by my extensive leadership experience acquired from international assignments while serving the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) which is an agency with the mission to fight hunger for the vulnerable groups. I have led multi-functional teams & distributed teams, developed global corporate strategy and led assessment centres for development. Based in Hong Kong now, I work with companies in the private and public sectors around the world. I have lived and/or worked in Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Philippines, North Korea, Canada, London and Rome. I am fluent in English Putonghua and Cantonese. My personal coaching approach and international experience allow me to quickly build trust with my clients from different cultural backgrounds which is key for our successfully partnership to drive the results they aim to achieve. Below is a couple of testimonies from my clients: "During a crucial period in my career, right after I got promoted to a top management position, I faced the challenge of building my team and aligning our efforts towards our company's goals. Thankfully, Clara's coaching played a significant role in boosting my self-confidence both personally and as a leader. She guided me every step of the way, helping me find the answers I needed. Now, I have a clear vision of my path and I feel confident that I can tackle any challenges that come my way." "I would like to express my thanks for all your efforts on the leadership development programme. You are incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter and provided plenty of real-world examples that helped participants to contextualize the material and made it more relevant to their job. You are engaging and kept the training session interesting and interactive."

I am Patricia, ICF professional coach supporting educators, leaders, and internationally mobile professionals as they navigate career transitions. I work with people who want to move forward with clarity and grow professionally while staying connected to their values and sense of purpose. I coach individuals at a crossroads. This may be a new leadership role, a move between organisations or countries, a shift in identity, or a growing sense that something needs to change. Together, we create space to slow down, think deeply, and make decisions that feel grounded rather than reactive. My coaching style is calm and focused. I listen deeply and ask powerful questions that open space for reflection and intentional choice. Clients often describe feeling more confident, better resourced, and clearer about what truly matters after our work together. With a background in international education and hospitality mannagement, I understand the realities of high expectations, cultural complexity, and constant adaptation. I bring this understanding into each session with care and respect. Coaching with me offers a supportive space to pause, realign, and move forward with intention. If you are ready for thoughtful change, I would be glad to work alongside you.

The process has been an invaluable opportunity for both personal and professional growth, and I truly appreciate the effort you've invested. I feel that I gained valuable insights into how I can better manage my focus and progress, particularly under high-pressure circumstances. With your professional help, I’ve become more capable of reflecting on unconscious behaviors and understanding how I might inadvertently impact others, even with the best intentions for both them and the team. The coaching also helped me further refine my communication and assertiveness skills, particularly when navigating complex situations with individuals who may not share the same perspective or approach. Additionally, the coaching played a significant role in helping me regain my self-esteem after being exposed to unfair criticism and difficult behaviors from colleagues. This experience has been immensely beneficial, and I am confident it will support my future career, especially during these challenging times when those of us in non-profits are facing the most difficult times ever, that even questions its existence in future. The skills you’ve helped me develop are highly transferable to other work environments. Though we had limited time together, and it wasn’t always under ideal circumstances, I am grateful for your professionalism and for creating an environment that allowed for such meaningful reflection and growth. And as you said, end of sessions is not end of our connection." 2)SANDRA B - Breathing Facilitator "Choosing Shailaja as a coach was a great decision. She is both a wonderful person and a skilled professional. Her sessions provided clarity and practical steps that helped me make long-pending changes.

I design coaching-based development journeys that spark clarity, build real accountability, and lead to lasting change. My approach blends coaching, facilitation, and strategic thinking — all with a practical twist — to turn insight into real-world action. I specialize in leadership development, capacity building, and cross-cultural collaboration for clients in both the private and public sectors.

Every role sharpened my instinct for what people need to grow and what organizations need to evolve.

Fluent in five languages and well-versed in hybrid, remote, and multicultural dynamics, I bring empathy, agility, and a no-fluff kind of clarity to every conversation — whether I am coaching a CEO, leading a leadership offsite, or co-creating a team culture from scratch.

As a PCC-certified coach, I use a coaching-first approach: grounded in ICF competencies, fueled by curiosity, and shaped by real-world leadership challenges. I am not here to give advice — I am here to ask the questions that shift perspective, spark awareness, and unlock action. Coaching with me is both reflective and energizing. Clients describe our sessions as “clarity hits”, “reset moments”, and even “much-needed reality checks — but with kindness.” And honestly? That’s what I love most about this work.

Viviana (Vivi) is an Executive and Leadership Coach who partners with senior leaders and teams to elevate leadership effectiveness, strengthen alignment, and deliver measurable business results aligned with strategic priorities. Her coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that effective leadership begins with self-awareness and intentional presence. Leaders who understand their values, recognize their impact on others, and become conscious of the patterns driving their behavior are far better equipped to create environments where people thrive and business results follow. Viviana works from a strengths-based, whole-person perspective—supporting leaders in leveraging their natural capabilities while also exploring the blind spots and assumptions that may be limiting their effectiveness. She views leadership not as a function of authority, but as the capacity to cultivate trust, clarity, and adaptability within increasingly complex systems. In practice, Viviana creates a reflective and challenging space where leaders can slow down, think more intentionally, and align their behaviors with the outcomes they seek. Rather than providing answers, she helps leaders build the internal capacity to lead themselves, their teams, and their organizations more consciously and effectively. Her approach is highly tailored. She meets each leader exactly where they are in their development journey and co-creates a personalized path forward—one that reflects their current stage of development while expanding their ability to operate at the next level. With over 20 years of experience, Viviana brings deep expertise in executive coaching, leadership development, and organizational transformation. She has worked with global leaders and teams across industries including consumer goods, biotechnology, and automotive, supporting both growth and turnaround environments. Prior to her coaching practice, Viviana held senior HR and Talent leadership roles at organizations such as The Clorox Company, Ford Motor Company, and ExxonMobil, where she served as a strategic business partner to executive teams globally. She is a Certified Integral Coach and holds certifications in the Enneagram (individuals and teams), Leadership Circle Profile and Emotional Intelligence (TalentSmart). Her work integrates both rigorous frameworks and deep human insight to drive sustainable behavioral change. Originally from Argentina, Viviana holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s in Economics from the University of Buenos Aires. She is bilingual and brings a multicultural perspective shaped by living and working in Argentina, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States. She is currently based in Atlanta, Georgia, where she lives with her family. Outside of her professional work, she is passionate about travel, cultural exploration, and photography.

Ilona partners with executives and emerging leaders who are navigating growth, transition, and increasing responsibility in complex and evolving environments. Her work supports leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and intention—especially at moments when expectations rise, roles shift, or familiar approaches no longer feel sufficient. Many clients come to this work when they sense a gap between who they are today and the leader they are being asked to become—when success is visible on the outside, yet deeper alignment, confidence, or direction feels less certain. These moments often call for reflection, not acceleration. Ilona believes that meaningful leadership growth begins with awareness and choice. Rather than offering quick fixes or prescriptive solutions, she works with clients to strengthen their self-awareness and self-efficacy—their capacity to learn, adapt, and take intentional action amid uncertainty and change. This approach supports sustainable development that integrates performance, integrity, and long-term growth. An ICF-certified Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder-Centered Coaching certified executive and team coach, and Breakthrough Coaching Advanced Practitioner, Ilona brings rigor, perspective, and presence to her coaching. She has partnered with leaders and managers from startups to Fortune 500 organizations across industries including technology, consulting, finance, consumer products, manufacturing, energy, hospitality, and healthcare. Ilona works through genuine partnership and thoughtful inquiry. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space grounded in trust, presence, and reflection—where clients can pause, think more clearly, and examine how their assumptions, thought patterns, and emotional responses shape their leadership and impact. Through this process, clients gain clarity around what matters most, strengthen their ability to choose intentionally, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose. Her coaching is shaped by a rich professional and personal background that bridges cultures, industries, and ways of thinking. A former entrepreneur and international marketing executive, Ilona founded an import retail business in China and earlier she worked across global organizations including a fashion brand, Grant Thornton, a NASDAQ-listed company, and a quasi-governmental organization. These experiences give her firsthand insight into leading within complex systems, navigating competing priorities, and working across diverse cultural contexts—allowing her to meet leaders where they are. During her years living and working abroad, Ilona also volunteered in international schools, supporting students with additional needs and challenges. This experience deepened her understanding of human development, adaptability, and the importance of creating environments where individuals feel supported, respected, and capable of growth. Educated in the US, Europe, and Asia, Ilona integrates Eastern wisdom with Western leadership practices in her coaching. She brings together reflection, awareness, and presence with clarity, accountability, and impact—offering leaders a grounded, integrative approach to growth that is both humane and effective. Ilona approaches each client holistically, meeting them where they are in their professional and personal development. Her work supports leaders in navigating complexity, strengthening leadership effectiveness, and building grounded confidence in how they think, choose, and show up at work. As clarity and effectiveness grow, clients often experience more integrated, holistic professional growth—enabling them to lead with greater intention, resilience, and influence. At the core of Ilona’s coaching is a belief that growth is not about becoming someone else, but about evolving into a more intentional and capable version of oneself. Through honest, non-judgmental dialogue, active listening, and powerful questioning, she supports clients in turning insight into action. If this way of working resonates, Ilona offers a reflective partnership for leaders who want to grow with intention, integrity, and impact.

I am a psychologist, executive coach, and positive psychology practitioner with experience supporting individuals and organisations to improve performance, wellbeing, and leadership effectiveness. My background combines psychology in business, coaching, culture and leadership development, and organisational change. I have worked in demanding corporate environments and bring a practical, evidence-based approach that helps clients build clarity, confidence, resilience, and sustainable performance. My coaching style blends reflective challenge with warmth and structure, helping clients move from insight into action. I work particularly well with professionals who want to strengthen self-awareness, navigate transition, lead with greater impact, and create meaningful change in their work and lives.

Before I became a coach, I was the one in the room navigating the pressure — scaling teams, managing complexity, and leading across cultures in Beirut, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Bristol, and Nairobi. As a Country Manager and Product Manager for over a decade in tech, I lived the challenges my clients bring to sessions: stepping into senior leadership, leading through ambiguity, and finding your footing in unfamiliar environments. That insider experience shapes everything about how I coach. I don't just hold space — I engage directly, challenge with care, and help clients move from insight to action. Who I work with: I partner with leaders at all levels — rising managers finding their voice, senior professionals navigating career transitions, and executives strengthening their presence and impact. My clients often come from international organizations, fast-moving tech environments, and cross-cultural teams. Many are leading across languages, time zones, or cultures — and so am I. I coach in English, French, and Lebanese Arabic, which means I can meet clients where they are, including in the nuance that gets lost in translation. What we work on - Leadership presence and executive confidence - Conscious Leadership & management - Career transitions and role expansion - Leading through change and complexity - Cross-cultural leadership and team dynamics - Purpose, values, and sustainable performance - Nonviolent communication & Conflict management How I work: My style is direct, warm, and grounded. I bring somatic and reflective approaches into sessions to help clients access clarity that goes beyond the cognitive — because the best leadership insights often live in the body and the patterns we haven't named yet. I hold a PCC credential from the International Coaching Federation, am certified in the Leadership Circle Profile, and am Co-Active trained (CPCC). I've worked with clients across UN agencies and international organizations. If you're looking for a coach who understands the realities of leadership from the inside — and will meet you with both rigor and humanity — I'd love to connect.
