I'm a leadership coach who works at the intersection of culture and commercial performance. I help senior leaders in financial services, social services, and consulting turn culture from a liability into a competitive advantage. What I Do Differently Most coaches focus on individual development. I focus on measurable organizational impact. I work with leaders and teams who struggle to: • Empower without losing control • Build trust across silos • Speak truth to power • Drive genuine engagement Together, we address fears—often unconscious—that keep talented leaders playing safe. I help you lead with the confidence and authenticity your organization needs, especially when the stakes are highest. My background includes over 25 years’ experience working in financial services running multi-million £ change programmes; running my own business supporting fast growing businesses to scale effectively; and, bringing up 2 children. I am a qualified nutritionist, a coach, & a published author. I have lived / worked in UK, Nigeria and Japan.

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.

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.

Hi, welcome! if you landed into my page, I believe that this is not a coincidence...Let me tell you a bit about myself and see how we could work together! I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC, ICF), HR Consultant, and Learning Strategist with 12+ years of experience helping leaders and teams across Europe thrive, from fast-paced startups to complex corporate ecosystems. 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. Before founding my own coaching practice, I wore many hats: HR Business Partner, L&D Manager, Sales Trainer — all in the buzzing worlds of retail and tech. Every role sharpened my instinct for what people need to grow and what organizations need to evolve. At the heart of what I do is a simple truth: transformation begins when we reconnect with what truly matters, get clear on what we can influence, and boldly take ownership of what comes next. 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. A BIT MORE ABOUT MY COACHING EXPERIENCE... Over the years, I have coached hundreds of leaders and teams across industries — from tech scale-ups and global retail brands to healthcare, finance, and media. My clients range from emerging leaders finding their voice to C-level executives navigating complexity, as well as teams in transformation needing alignment, clarity, and trust. What they all have in common? A desire to move from “just coping” to leading with purpose. 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. My coaching experience includes: 1:1 executive coaching (leaders, managers, founders) Team coaching (trust-building, communication, collaboration) Coaching within leadership programs and offsites Coaching in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German Remote, hybrid, and in-person settings — always tailored, never templated
Globally experienced, ICF-accredited coach partnering with professionals and executives to maximize their career potential and elevate their leadership.

Clients also view me as a thought partner to help them navigate change and uncertainty proactively. With a calm and supportive presence, I help them strengthen skills and traits for success, remove limiting mindsets, and raise self-awareness to become better leaders. Clients move forward with greater clarity, courage, and confidence to deepen and further their impact in work and life.
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.
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.

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. She is generous with her time and support, offering guidance that is both gentle and firm. In just a short time, these sessions helped me move toward my goals and gain a clearer understanding of my strengths and needs—especially through helping others along the way."
I am Patricia, a professional coach supporting educators, leaders, and internationally mobile professionals as they navigate change. I work with people who want to move forward with clarity while staying connected to their energy, values, and sense of purpose. I coach individuals at a crossroads. This may be a new leadership role, a move between countries, a shift in identity, or a growing sense that something needs to change. Together, we create space to slow down, think clearly, and make decisions that feel grounded rather than reactive. My coaching style is calm and focused. I listen deeply and ask questions that open space for reflection and 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, 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.

Philosophy about coaching: • We all can learn and grow into a higher level of maturity. Andre helps his clients to become more constructive and wiser leaders. • Coaching is a co-created journey. Andre respectfully offers his expertise and intuition to facilitate: Clarity of goals, awareness of obstacles or limiting beliefs, (re)discovery of strengths, and access to additional perspectives. In some cases, Andre guides the decision making and action taking, on other occasions he invites clients to just be present and stay connected to their best selves. • Coaching is more than a skilled application of techniques. It’s the art of creating a safe space where future possibilities emerge, where aha-moments enable clients to improve their relationships and adaptability, and where breakthroughs increase leaders’ authenticity, influence, and happiness.
