I coach IT and consulting professionals to enhance their influence and communicate and connect better with their eco-system. I support them to get ready for the next role and succeed in their new leadership roles. I am an ICF qualified PCC level coach and a Principles Certified Coach. I am a qualified management accountant and a PMP. I have 23+ years of corporate experience during which I handled a range of leadership roles in world class organizations.

I moved on to do service delivery, represented my organization in some large scale global projects, and supported business leaders as a part of their executive team.

I’m a Leadership & Transition Coach and HR professional who brings a calm, steady presence to leaders navigating leadership and professional transitions. With HRBP, talent management and change management experience - and more than 200 coaching conversations this year - I’ve supported people through growth, change, and reinvention. Clients come to me at moments of uncertainty or inflection: stepping into new roles, leading through ambiguity, moving across cultures, or redefining the kind of leader they want to be. In our sessions, clients describe: - the moment clarity lights up their face - the shift in energy when a limiting belief loosens its grip - the quiet courage that emerges when honesty feels safe - the natural exhale when they finally understand what’s been holding them back These are not tactics. They are the outcomes of deep presence, grounded listening, and a space where people feel truly seen. My coaching is built on one core belief: --> Growth begins with safety, honesty, and the willingness to see ourselves differently. My work follows a simple arc: --> When people feel internally steady, clarity returns, and choices become possible again. I call this theClarityArc. I work with individuals at a crossroads - professionally, geographically, or at key leadership turning points - helping you: - reconnect with what matters most - understand the patterns driving your decisions - navigate transitions with clarity and confidence - build leadership capabilities from the inside out, in uncertain or high stakes environments Above all, coaching with me is a place where you can be fully yourself, without performance, pressure, or expectations about who you 'should' be. If you are entering a new chapter, or redefining what your next chapter could look like, I’m here to walk with you.

Senior leaders hire me when they want someone thinking about their career who isn't inside their organisation. I work with them on the development and strategic positioning of their careers — not only at moments of transition, but across the full arc of their working lives. Think of me as your personal talent lead: outside your organisation, entirely on your side. Because the more senior you become, the fewer places there are for truly honest thinking. Most clients — referred by organisations or individuals — come to me facing a career move. They stay to build what comes next. Once in role, I work alongside them to navigate complex organisational dynamics, strengthen their executive presence, and turn live situations into deliberate career momentum. My executive coaching and advisory practice, I spent over 25 years in senior HR leadership and HR Business Partner roles across complex international organisations. As Global Talent Lead at GSK, I worked directly with executive teams on succession planning, leadership transitions, and enterprise talent strategy. Today, I bring that insider perspective into discreet, trusted one-to-one executive coaching and advisory work — combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution in high-stakes careers. I am also a certified Transitional Intelligence (TQ) coach, a framework built around the psychology of career and life transitions that deepens the work at moments of real change. Based between London and Budapest. Working with senior executives and C-suite leaders internationally. If this resonates — whether you're a senior leader or an organisation investing in one — I'd welcome a conversation.

Rini

I firmly believe that every individual possesses the innate potential to achieve greatness in their personal and professional lives. However, the path to success is often riddled with challenges, self-doubt, and fear. As a coach, my mission is to serve as a catalyst for transformation, providing guidance and support for those seeking to realize their full potential and overcome obstacles. I am an Executive Coach, facilitator, trainer, and mentor with over 20 years of experience across corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. My journey has taken me through diverse industries including media, banking, and digital, working with organizations such as Microsoft, JP Morgan, and Times of India Group. Along the way, I have led teams, built businesses, and navigated the same pressures and uncertainties that many of my clients face today. Moving from India to Hong Kong, and later to New York City, each transition asked me to listen differently, adapt, and become more aware of what I was carrying with me. Living and working across cultures has taught me how much meaning lies in what is unspoken, how deeply context and environment shape behavior, and yet how similar we all are underneath it. This perspective allows me to work with clients across geographies and cultures with sensitivity and depth. I hold an MBA in Marketing and an Engineering degree, and I am a PCC-certified coach with additional certifications in Emotional Intelligence (EQi), NLP, DEI, Positive Intelligence, and Transactional Analysis. I have worked with leaders and professionals from diverse backgrounds, supporting them in navigating transitions, strengthening their leadership presence, and making more intentional choices. My approach is both grounded and reflective. I create a space where clients can pause, think clearly, and explore what truly matters, while also challenging them to take meaningful action. I partner with my clients not just to gain insight, but to translate that insight into sustainable change. What differentiates my work is the combination of deep business understanding and human insight. I am able to meet clients where they are, while helping them see what they cannot yet see, enabling shifts that are not just immediate, but lasting.

Over my career, I've worked across different roles all involving coaching and sales. After earning my Bachelor's of Science degree in Communication Management and Design, I started off my career in corporate event planning before transitioning to running my own business, Unleash Your Presence, where I delivered public speaking coaching to various business owners all over the country remotely, as well as speaking. After that, I worked with a small startup as a health and accountability coach focused on helping women with their weight loss and fitness goals. After that, I continued on with a sales position with a lending company before my most recent position as a Sales Coach with a training company focused on helping Property Management business owners to grow their sales and establish sales systems. After a few years in my most recent position in sales coaching, I decided to transition to leadership and executive coaching to make a bigger impact with corporate leaders who were specifically navigating large organizational transitions. This led me to go back to earn my certificate in Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance from Rutgers University and I am currently in the process of earning my Associate Certified Coach credential from the International Coaching Federation (to accompany my certificate).

Amy

Languages: English

Amy is a Professional Certified Coach specialising in coaching middle managers - helping them become confident communicators and leaders who proactively tackle the hard stuff of the middle management sandwich every day. I'm based in Brisbane, Australia, coaching clients all over the world. I will help you feel more confident leading your team, building your network, speaking up, thinking strategically and leading upwards. You will confidently unravel the messiness of your complex workplace, without breaking yourself! Within organisations, our middle managers are crucial. The psychological safety, performance and retention of our people is dependent on their efficacy as leaders. The responsiveness of our organisations to adaptive change and transformation is dependent on their ability to prioritise shifting workloads, skill up their teams and integrate projects and change initiatives with BAU. The sustainability of our outcomes, relationships with key stakeholders and senior leaders' awareness of emerging issues, is dependent on their communication skills. And yet. So often we promote to this level based on technical skill sets and success in individual delivery. Our shift in expectations of their skill set is now significant, but so often we leave them to flounder. Hopefully a Managers 101, Leadership Foundations to get them started, but then in the very messy every day challenges that shape the ways in which our managers become key leaders within our organisations, we leave them on their own to just get on with it. In truly successful organisations, we have cascading leadership development whereby brilliant senior leaders mentor and coach the emerging leaders in management layers under them. But more often we don't. If you are frustrated by a lack of real change in your organisation, in new initiatives that stall or persistently plateau at implementation level, and with churn of people or complaints from staff - investing in the leadership development of your middle managers could be crucial. Over the last 20 years, Amy has developed leadership development programs, group, team and individual coaching that genuinely builds confidence and sustainable leadership growth at this layer. If you are a middle manager, you know the pain of the squishy middle already! "I wish I could be more confident", "How do I start trying to sort this mess", "There's so much pressure from all directions, I'm squeezed in the middle", "I can't get my voice heard in meetings", "Am I actually ready for this", "I'm overwhelmed, I don't even know where to start", "There's just not enough hours for my new role", "My team's work is lost in the complexity of my organisation", "I was thriving in my last role, now I feel like I'm drowning", "I know I need to have this conversation but I'm putting it off", "I just don't get how to lead upwards effectively", "I'm not sure what I need to move to the next level", "I'm not good enough to take this on"......circling thoughts in your head? Managers who work with me understand, develop and apply the practical tools that they need to step up to leading at their level and beyond within their organisation. Stepping up to Leadership requires a different skill set to that which we may have been promoted for. It is a skill set that can be learned, but only through doing. Through building self-awareness, a tangible leadership toolkit and the skills of resilience, then practising and reflecting on real-life leadership in action, I help my clients become confident leaders who can step in to do the "important and hard" work rather than the "busy and easy" work, every day. Leadership Coaching is like a Manager's Personal Trainer! Like a professional leadership training course, only completely individualised to your development needs and goals, and completely contextualised to your experience and situation. We take the pieces of leadership development that are most useful for you, explore it to the depth you want to, and then apply it immediately in your workplace, with a chance to review and reflect on your learning as soon as you are ready. Your development as a leader will be grounded in your real-life experiences - using your own case studies as the starting point for your learning, rather than models or formulas. Embedded in evidence and best practice but pragmatic and creating immediate change. We will work within the realities of your complex and high stress environment to reduce your stress, increase your confidence and amplify your impact. I also work with teams of managers to shift organisational culture towards more strategic, human-centred leadership that has real impact in their workplace. Through specific skills-focused and mess un-ravelling projects, I help leaders create real and sustained change in the way they work together.

Michael
New York City, New York, United States
Languages: English

I help technical leaders and founders make the shift from executing to enabling others to execute. If you've grown from 10 to 50+ people and suddenly you're the bottleneck, I've been there—and I've coached 50+ leaders through this exact transition with measurable results. The Coaching Practice I've been executive coaching since 2016, working with founders and tech executives at companies like Salesforce, Coinbase, and Pinterest. Through BetterUp's platform, I've delivered 200+ sessions to Fortune 500 executives, maintaining consistently high ratings while specializing in leadership transitions, delegation frameworks, and cross-functional influence. My clients achieve 40% faster decision-making, 25% improved team retention, and 15+ promotions to VP/C-level roles. I'm ICF ACC certified (PCC in progress) and bring a methodology grounded in strategic execution, not just theory. Why My Background Matters Before coaching, I lived what my clients face. As a CPA at PwC, I led development of automated tax systems processing 1M+ transactions while managing Agile teams and presenting to CFOs at TD Ameritrade and Google. At 23, I learned that leadership isn't about being the smartest person—it's about building frameworks that work when you're not there. As a product leader at FanDuel, I managed multiple cross-functional teams across engineering, compliance, and legal. I eliminated 99% of mandatory customer suspensions, unblocking $45M in revenue. More importantly, I became obsessive about delegation and developing leaders at every level because I couldn't be the bottleneck. What Makes Me Different When a product leader struggles to influence engineering priorities, I've aligned technical teams around business outcomes without authority. When a first-time VP doesn't know how to delegate, I remember building systems that saved 2,500+ hours while raising team capability. When a founder wrestles with board communication, I draw on experience presenting multi-million dollar investments to executives.
