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.

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.

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.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in enabling authentic, effective leadership through structured growth, cultural intelligence, and practical tools. I believe powerful leadership begins with self-awareness and is sustained by aligning personal wellbeing with professional goals. In practice, I create a coaching environment that is both supportive and challenging, where clients are encouraged to think deeply and come up with their own solutions so they can take bold action, and stay accountable. I help them navigate complex environments so they can own their unique voice, and lead with confidence. Using a tailored mix of evidence-based coaching models and diagnostic tools, I support clients to clarify priorities, shift limiting behaviours, and build sustainable strategies for success. The result is not just career progress, but greater clarity, resilience, and fulfilment. Many of my clients choose to work with me over an extended period because I provide a trusted, non-judgmental confidential space where they feel able to talk openly about whatever is on their mind—both personally and professionally. From our very first session, I focus on ensuring clients experience tangible value. They leave each conversation with greater clarity, practical actions, and strategies they can apply immediately to support their growth and progress. Client testimonials consistently show that they experience our time together as meaningful and worthwhile. They leave feeling empowered, more confident in their decisions, and able to move forward with renewed energy and purpose.

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 would like to express my gratitude for the outstanding support we received from Alex.

Her ability to build strong relationships and foster collaboration was truly impressive. Working with her was an enriching experience, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

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.

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.
