I am an Executive Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Independent Trainer, operating under the brand "Verdemeta." In my most recent career, I developed the projects "Transition Space," a network of professionals working on Change, and the newly launched "Ecora," which focuses on an ecosystemic approach. Since 2000, and for about 15 years, I worked in the field of people development within companies, dealing with recruitment and training, and supporting individuals from their hiring throughout their entire development journey. Through this experience, I became increasingly involved in themes such as self-realization within one's context, the well-being of interpersonal relationships, and the effectiveness of achievement. At the peak of my corporate journey, I felt the need and desire to combine everything I had accomplished in my professional life with my love for Nature, leading me to encounter Ecopsychology. I specialized in corporate coaching and sought to merge the two experiences by creating "Green Coaching" and the "Verdemeta" brand. These experiences, combined with coaching based on the Positive Psychology approach, define my style, which focuses on developing and enhancing strengths and solution-oriented strategies, increasing awareness and personal transformation, and broadening individuals' perspectives towards goals rooted in existential and systemic themes that significantly impact achievement and performance. Today, I work as an Executive Coach, Team Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Group coach to help people and organizations maximize their potential and find their systemic balance. I am also the author of the book "Nature Speaks to You - A Guide to Ecocentric Personal Growth."

I have over a decade of experience working with global brands in the areas of corporate communication, government affairs, community relations, Corporate Social Responsibility and crisis management. Throughout the years I gained an extensive experience in managing country-wide and international projects, as well as coordinating local roll-out of global initiatives. I was a ghost writer and was responsible for writing speeches and preparing top executives for high-profile public appearances. I worked in a renowned globally affiliated PR agency and later as Community Relations Officer at Citi. Later, I executed roles that shaped me as a leader - President of International Coaching Federation Poland (elected twice) and Managing Partner at a Consulting Company. Now, I also have a decade of experience working as an external Consultant and professional Coach. My Clients are mainly Leaders and Managers looking for effectiveness, better communication, developing their teams and business. Sometimes we work on challenging changes they and their companies are facing. I'm proud to be a faculty member at the European Academy of Diplomacy (areas: public speaking, storytelling, leadership) and a Coach Educator in coaching programmes across the globe.

My passion is creating spaces where awareness, courage, and connection unlock growth and transformation. I express this through leadership and team coaching, supervision, mentoring, facilitation, and public speaking. I support individuals, relationships, teams, and organizations as they explore possibilities, unlearn outdated patterns, and expand into new ways of being and working together. With more than 20 years of global experience in leadership, customer experience, and marketing, I bring a deep understanding of complexity, human dynamics, and cross-cultural collaboration. Having led and worked with diverse teams across continents, I am grounded in the realities of organizational life—and inspired by what becomes possible when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead with intention. As a certified and credentialed coach (PCC, ACTC, ORSCC, CPCC), I integrate systemic, somatic, and relational lenses into a coaching approach that is grounded, empowering, and attuned. My style is rooted in empathy, honesty, trust, and presence. I help clients navigate transitions, cultivate clarity, and step into purposeful, sustainable leadership. Alongside coaching, I offer supervision and mentor coaching to support the development and well-being of coaches. I hold reflective, challenging, and supportive spaces that deepen professional maturity, expand awareness, and strengthen ethical and impactful practice. My own journey of transformation - across countries, languages, identities, and careers - continues to shape my work. After two decades in senior corporate roles, I transitioned fully into coaching, supervision, and mentoring, guided by my values of courage, growth, truth, connection, and love. These values remain central to every engagement. As a multilingual coach (English, German, Bulgarian) and an experienced facilitator and public speaker, I bring energy, clarity, and curiosity into every room I enter. I am committed to creating environments where people can reflect deeply, lead authentically, collaborate meaningfully, and shape the change they wish to see – personally and collectively.

Outcome-driven leader and professional coach with extensive experience in leadership, strategic planning, and change management across diverse geographies. With a proven ability in building strong partnerships and inspiring stakeholders at all levels, I am adept at supporting leaders and teams to navigate complex challenges, delivering alignment with organisational objectives and sustainable growth. I coach a number of senior leaders (C-Suite with global accountabilities) and cross functional teams across a global network, focusing my passion and evidence-based knowledge for person-centred positive and sustainable ways of thinking, working and being. This passion extends to holding a Masters of Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney, where I continue to serve on the executive committee for University of Sydney Coaching and Mentoring Alumni (USCMA) for continued professional development. I also hold a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My passion for continuous self-learning and ability to coach, network and build relationships at all levels in an organisation have enabled me to achieve results. With certifications in Leadership Circle, Gallup Strengths, Be Well Lead Well, various agile frameworks, human-centred design and Mental Health First Aid, I thrive when collaborating with clients and teams to explore creative solutions to complex challenges to maximise and deliver value, impact and opportunities. This strategic agility enables me to coach leaders and teams to navigate complex problems and decision making in a fast paced and changing environment across a cross-functional, multi-cultural and geographically international matrix.

I’m an ICF-PCC accredited Executive Coach and former senior enterprise leader with over 20 years’ experience coaching leaders navigating complexity, transition, and high-stakes professional decisions. Before establishing my coaching practice, I built a significant executive career leading talent, organisational development, leadership capability, and transformation within complex, commercially driven environments, including ASX-listed organisations. I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams of up to 40, held P&L accountability, partnered directly with CEOs and executive teams, and shaped enterprise-wide leadership, succession, and organisational capability strategies. This lived leadership experience matters. Leadership at senior levels is rarely just about confidence or communication. It’s about decision making under pressure, competing priorities, stakeholder complexity, visibility, commerciallity, and leading others while carrying significant responsibility yourself. I’ve coached more than 300 senior leaders, high-potential executives, and experienced professionals across corporate, public sector, Defence, Education, Hospitality, Professional Services, Start-ups, and purpose-led organisations. Clients typically work with me when stepping into broader roles, preparing for executive leadership, navigating change, strengthening influence, or working through pivotal career moments where clarity, confidence, and strategic thinking matter. My coaching style is straight-talking, pragmatic, and deeply supportive, often described as practical, powerful, and personal. If you’re looking for a coach who understands both the human realities of leadership and the commercial environments leaders operate within, we may be a strong fit.

I have worked in or with a variety of industries over time. I started in banking, then moved to retail followed by government, Telecommunications and education sectors. I have helped businesses in the financial sector, IT, graphic design and consulting to name a few. I am proud to have started at the bottom worked my way up, and managed teams of up to 25. This led to my lifelong love of learning and sharing this knowledge to help others better understand what and why. This led to me becoming an accidental coach and mentor to many people over time. I have also worked with entrepreneurs in varying fields to grow their businesses and professional expertise. I have 20+ years of experience in leadership and management empowering people through change and building resilience. During this time I established many high-performing teams while going through much industry and regulatory change. During this very challenging time, I thrived and loved the challenge of getting most people through this period. This led to me becoming an accidental coach and mentor to many people over time. I have also worked with entrepreneurs in varying fields to grow their businesses and professional expertise. My life philosophy is that everyone has the ability to be the best version of themselves and be happy.

I’ve become a much better person—thanks to you.

Embarking on my professional coaching career in 2005, I have since specialised as an executive and leadership coach (PCC). Prior to this, I established a strong foundation in the pharmaceutical industry, dedicating 12 years to Sales and Marketing. Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of working closely with managers and leaders, facilitating improvements in confidence, communication, and overall performance. My approach integrates the latest advancements in neuroscience to assist clients to rewire their brains and change old behaviour patterns that had them stuck. In fact most clients at first don't recognise the unhelpful thinking patterns that are running their brains. My passion lies in empowering others to unlock their highest performance potential propelling them to achieve their goals in business, sports, and personal pursuits.

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.

After 14 years as a flight attendant, I am now switching my career and making a move from the height of the sky to the depth of consciousness. Following a rough time in my life, I earned my first life coaching certification few years ago, and I slowly became more and more passionate about being of service to people in a deeper, more meaningful way. Aviation has allowed me to strengthen skills as communication, empathy and adaptability, essential in coaching. Throughout the 7 years of experience as a Cabin Supervisor I have learned how to be of support to my teams and build trust, also fundamental to create successful coaching relationships. The most impactful shift in my life has been realizing that offering comfort and support for the brief period of a flight was not fulfilling enough anymore and I would like to facilitate lasting transformation, knowing the potential of coaching that I have learned and experienced myself. This transition is an incredible, ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I am now looking forward to more opportunities to support people as individuals and professionals as they navigate their own paths of self-discovery and success.

I work with senior leaders, coaches, supervisors, and teams to deepen their reflective capacity, unlock hidden strengths, and surface unconscious patterns, by embracing presence, the courage to pause, the wisdom of not knowing, and leading from what matters most.

This approach enables exceptional business outcomes while creating the conditions for truly transformational coaching and supervision that benefit both individuals and the wider system. I am an accredited coaching supervisor and Senior Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), bringing over two decades of contemplative and professional experience into my practice. My diverse background spans technical support management, a degree in artificial intelligence, and 15 years as a Buddhist monk. This rare combination of disciplines gives me a unique lens on leadership, transformation, and systemic change. Drawing on my deep understanding of solitude, uncertainty, and the power of reflection, I support leaders in aligning their work with their life’s true purpose, enhancing their effectiveness as global stewards and evolving leadership culture in organizations and society. Through the PlayfulMonk approach, which I developed, I help individuals and teams build their capacity for self-reflection, manage personal and group tensions, develop ethical awareness, and stay calm and connected in complex, high-pressure environments. Currently, I serve as the part-time Head of Faculty and Leadership at Blend Associates, where I support senior executives and teams within the UK’s National Health Service to navigate the emotional and systemic challenges of leadership in times of change and stress. With compassion, clarity, and courage, I walk alongside those who lead, to help them live and lead from presence, purpose, and possibility.
