Life is hard but we can all ease our suffering with a bit of guidance. Are you feeling stuck at work or in life? Do you wish for better relationships or to live the life you dream of? Are you facing one of life's major transitions such as a new job, redundancy or retirement? All of these challenges create stress and suffering but there are ways to manoeuvre through these moments with calm and poise. Having worked through my my own growth journey decades ago, I discovered that my purpose was to help others. I feel that it is now my turn to support others and guide people like you to live the life you choose. I believe my training and background in psychology, neuroscience and leadership maturity offers a distinctive experience to people so they can find ways to soothe their suffering and discover their own path in life. We are all individual beings with our own unique blend of experiences, influences and cultures but I firmly believe that everyone can find their way to fulfilment with a little bit of guidance. To give you some background, I have almost 25 years' experience setting up, partnering and leading teams across Europe and Asia in both industrial corporates and early-stage companies, I am passionate about what makes people succeed and grow. I began my career as a mechanical engineer at Ford Motor Company after completing my degree at Oxford University and I quickly saw that all leaders are not the same. I was motivated to become one of the people-focused leaders and so I left after 6 years to complete my MBA at London Business School and explore what leadership meant. This started my journey of exploring what makes people tick and, most importantly, how to help others, including myself, live a healthier and happier life. We don't have to stay stuck in automatic mode and watch life pass us by helplessly and nor do we have to let uncertainty and complexity overwhelm us. With self-reflection, evidence-based techniques and exercises, you too can learn to embrace change as an ally rather than a threat. We all deserve to live our best life and none of us can do it alone.
I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), leadership educator, and business strategist with over 25 years of professional experience across the Middle East, North America, and Latin America. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and adult development. Before becoming a full-time coach and educator, I spent more than two decades in senior executive and board-level roles within multinational consulting, infrastructure, and services organizations. I have served as Country Manager, General Manager, Regional Business Development Director, and Board Member, leading organizations through market entry, growth, restructuring, and transformation across the GCC and broader international markets. My corporate background includes leadership roles with global firms such as Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, SICE (ACS Group – Spain), DBI Services, and Polypipe Middle East. In these roles, I built businesses from the ground up, led cross-cultural teams, managed complex stakeholder environments, and delivered multimillion-dollar results in highly demanding contexts. These experiences deeply inform my coaching practice today—I coach from lived experience, not theory alone. Since 2018, I have been professionally coaching senior leaders, executives, founders, and high-potential professionals across industries and geographies. My coaching approach is reflective, structured, and human-centered, helping clients slow down their thinking, gain clarity, and make more intentional choices—both professionally and personally. I work with leaders navigating growth, transition, complexity, identity shifts, and increased responsibility. Alongside my academy work, I collaborate with global coaching and wellbeing platforms such as BetterUp, Bravely, Modern Health, Speexx, and PwC, coaching leaders across technology, finance, healthcare, media, logistics, and public-sector environments. This exposure allows me to stay closely connected to the real challenges leaders face inside modern organizations. My coaching is grounded in ICF core competencies and ethics, and informed by Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence, adult learning theory, and systems thinking. I place strong emphasis on self-awareness, responsibility, values alignment, and sustainable performance. I believe coaching is not about quick fixes or motivational talk—it is a disciplined, ethical practice that supports leaders in becoming more conscious, effective, and human in the way they lead. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing and Psychology from the Lebanese American University, and I am certified as a Holistic Life, Career, and Executive Coach from the Goal Imagery Institute (New York). I am also a Certified Trainer and Speaker with the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, integrating leadership education and coaching where appropriate. I work globally and coach in Arabic, English, and Spanish. Based in Beirut, Lebanon, with active professional operations in the United States and Colombia, I regularly support clients across time zones and cultures. I am particularly experienced in working with leaders operating in complex, multicultural, and high-pressure environments. At the core of my work is a simple belief: leadership is not a role—it is a responsibility. Coaching, when done well, creates space for leaders to think better, choose better, and lead with integrity.

I'm a Leadership Coach & Mental Toughness Master Practitioner, APAC HR Strategist, Talent and People Development Expert. I support leaders, coaches, and teams to measure and develop Mental Toughness. Here's a brief introduction of myself: Echo brings over 20 years of experience in strategic HR, talent development, and leadership transformation across global industries. As a former APAC HR Director, she built high-performing teams and inclusive cultures in sectors ranging from agriculture to automotive, medical devices to telecommunications. Today, she merges corporate expertise with experiential wisdom to help individuals and organizations achieve sustainable high performance and wellbeing. Her work empowers leaders to become the best version of themselves - not just through skills, but through mindset.

With a deep commitment to continuous improvement, I focus on my clients' goals, awareness and personal development. I believe that by supporting people with personalised coaching solutions I can have a multiplied impact on the individual, and on their environment as well. I like to bring out the contradictions and limiting beliefs, making the invisible visible. I'm not afraid of silence, when clients reflect on their own functioning, because silence is often a space for the deepest insights. I love the aha moments, the co-creation, as my client and I connect with each other's thinking and new realisations and solutions emerge from that. My goal is to accomplish long-term, positive change and sustainable development. By the end of the coaching process, my clients are able to tackle their tasks more easily, more effectively and more successfully and by means of simplification they will be able to live their life with ease and with less stress. Creating a safe space for my clients to pause and reflect, self-reflect. Slowing down thoughts like snowflakes on a quiet winter day to observe them, and to discover what emerges. Work in partnership, inspire each other, and co-create new paths, roads, and avenues to move forward. This is my world as a coach.

QUALIFICATIONS > Bachelor of Music Honors (Kingston University London) > Masters Performance Teaching (Melbourne University) > Graduate Diploma Psychology (University of New England) TESTAMONIALS: 'Emmanuella is the most effective coach I’ve ever worked with. She changed the way I saw myself and how I was telling my story as the result of that. Through her “Find your Voice” coaching program, I got the opportunity to see beyond all the limitations I faced throughout my life and found the courage to show up as someone I loved and felt proud of. First, she helped me see how I’m holding myself back. Next, she provided me with a safe space to practice being who I desired to be. Then, she gave me the tools I needed to feel empowered and keep showing up as that person every day. Emmanuella not only helped me change my life, but she also gave me knowledge, tools, and more importantly courage to change the world around me.' Mahsa Hajjari Business Development Leader, WIRE 'Set apart from the norm in workplace training, Emmanuella’s warm personality made me comfortable and at ease. Her course was relatable and practical, she taught us skills we can easily apply to our everyday lives. I would highly recommend this course to other workplaces for a team bonding session.’ Stacey Kipouridis Physiotherapist Performance Medicine ‘Imagine holding people in the palm of your hand when you’re talking across a pixelated screen. Emmanuella Grace does. Emmanuella runs the most compelling interactive online training and coaching programmes. That sounds like a lazy superlative, but she activates the theory she teaches for the most impactful hour. Delivering ideas and leading with authority, understanding your personal motivations, mindfulness for impact, and projecting for influence are all skills I’m learning to master as a result of the coaching sessions Emmanuella has run for Slade Group’ Anita Ziemer Executive Director, Slade Recruitment
I am an executive coach, former CEO, author, and leadership development practitioner with more than three decades of international business and leadership experience. My work focuses on helping CEOs and senior executives expand their capacity to lead through complexity, transition, and transformation. Before becoming an executive coach, I spent many years as an operating executive, including serving as CEO and in other senior leadership roles. I have led organizations and teams across different countries, cultures, and stages of growth. That experience shapes how I coach today. I understand executive leadership not only from theory or observation, but from having personally carried responsibility for business results, organizational performance, people, and difficult decisions under uncertainty. I coach CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior leaders navigating significant leadership transitions and increasingly complex organizational environments. My clients include leaders stepping into larger roles, executives preparing for the C-suite, and experienced leaders who recognize that what made them successful at one level may not be sufficient for the challenges ahead. My coaching approach integrates executive experience with adult and vertical development, systems thinking, and evidence-based leadership practices. I am particularly interested in the relationship between a leader's internal development and their external effectiveness. Rather than focusing only on skills or solving the immediate problem, I help clients examine the assumptions, patterns, and meaning-making structures behind how they lead. This enables them to develop greater capacity to hold competing perspectives, navigate ambiguity, engage conflict productively, and lead increasingly complex systems. I also work systemically. An executive's effectiveness cannot be separated from the team and organization around them. Depending on the engagement, our work may therefore explore stakeholder relationships, executive team dynamics, organizational culture, strategic alignment, and the broader system within which the leader operates. My coaching style is direct, challenging, reflective, and pragmatic. I create a space where senior leaders can think openly about issues they often cannot discuss elsewhere. I do not see my role as providing executives with answers. I help them see what they are not yet seeing, question assumptions that may be limiting them, broaden the perspectives available to them, and translate new awareness into deliberate experiments and action. I am an ICF-certified coach and have worked with senior executives across industries and cultures. My international background has given me a strong appreciation for how culture, context, identity, and organizational systems influence leadership. I am comfortable working with executives whose challenges have no obvious or technically correct answer. Alongside my coaching practice, I write and speak about leadership and human development. I am the author of "Outgrow Middle Management: Accelerate Your Climb to the Top" and "CEO Potential: Transcend Self, Team, and Organization for Lasting Success in the New Age of AI". I also write the "Potential Development" newsletter and host The CEOpeek Show podcast, where I engage CEOs in conversations about leadership, growth, and the realities of leading organizations. More recently, my work has increasingly explored leadership in the age of AI. I believe AI will continue to augment many of the analytical and knowledge-based capabilities traditionally associated with leadership. At the same time, it increases the importance of distinctly human capacities such as judgment, self-awareness, perspective-taking, sense-making, relational intelligence, and the ability to navigate paradox and uncertainty. These are developmental capacities, not simply skills, and they are becoming increasingly important for senior leaders. Across all my work, I am motivated by a simple question: "What does this leader need to become capable of next?" That question keeps my coaching developmental rather than prescriptive. My goal is not simply to help executives perform better in their current circumstances, but to help them expand their capacity to lead whatever comes next.
