𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Dr. Pierre Domps , General Manager – ADM Indonesia Nawal is a coach with a very comprehensive approach and methodology whom I would recommend to anyone. Not only was she able to quickly comprehend my needs and challenges and help me to discover hidden flaws. She also came with a toolbox of methodologies and actions which I could test and experiment to ensure continuous improvement. Thanks to her tremendous experience and knowledge, Nawal also brings a global view and is able to change coaching topic when required based on unexpected challenges. If I have the opportunity to get coached by Nawal again, I will say yes without any hesitation. Nicole Norris, Head of people and culture at T-knife therapeutics I had the pleasure of collaborating with Nawal Bendefa through MCLUB on The Communication Journey, a leadership development program designed for T-Knife’s managers. Over a period of six months, followed by three months of consolidation, Nawal guided our managers through a powerful learning experience that combined one-on-one coaching, team coaching and facilitation with practical tools and real-world application. Her approach created an atmosphere of psychological safety, trust, and openness that allowed participants to truly engage, reflect, and grow. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive — managers reported greater self-awareness, improved communication and feedback skills, and a deeper understanding of personality dynamics through the Insights Discovery framework. What stood out most to me was Nawal’s ability to connect deeply with people, translate complex concepts into actionable insights, and tailor her coaching to the organization’s specific needs. She combines structure and empathy with a clear sense of purpose — helping others not only learn, but transform the way they lead, perceive others and communicate. It was a real pleasure to work alongside her, and I would recommend Nawal to any organization seeking a transformational leadership development experience. Sebastien Lefranc, Head of start-up Engagement Program@Ingenico Working with Nawal has helped me not only navigate the many turbulences of corporate life during the pandemic but also realign my career expectations with my internal compass. I am very grateful for her guidance and coaching and looking back, I can really say that I am in a better situation and state of mind today thanks to Nawal. She used a set of tools and her sense of perspective to help me understand my strengths and values while diffusing the emotions that were clouding my vision. When the opportunity to make a move came to me, I was equipped with the right understanding of myself and with the right resources to make the most out of it. Nawal's decades-long experience as an expatriate and her natural sense of empathy, together with her toolbox and methodology, are real catalysts for change. Often time after we had talked, I felt a sense of breakthrough, progress, and renewed confidence. I am glad it could materialize into concrete change for me in the longer run, thanks to Nawal.

I am a coaching psychologist who works with senior leaders operating under pressure in complex organisational systems. With over 25 years of training and experience in psychology and leadership, I partner with executives, general managers, and system leaders who carry high visibility, complex stakeholder demands, and real consequences in their roles. My work supports leaders to build clarity, authority, and traction when decisions are difficult, expectations are high, and the personal cost of leadership begins to show. I work primarily with C‑suite and senior leaders across the public sector, large corporates, universities, and for‑purpose organisations. Leaders often engage me during periods of role stretch, heightened scrutiny, transition, or sustained pressure, when performance matters, but so does judgment, presence, and long‑term sustainability. My approach sits at the intersection of psychology, strategy, and organisational reality. This is not therapy, skills training, or surface‑level coaching. It is structured, strategic coaching psychology designed for leaders whose decisions shape people, systems, and outcomes. My style is thoughtful, challenging, and grounded. I create a strong container for the work, naming patterns, surfacing what is often unspoken, and supporting leaders to develop the internal authority required to lead well over time. I draw on developmental coaching psychology, acceptance and commitment approaches, systems thinking, and neuroscience, applied pragmatically within real organisational constraints. Professional background * Accredited Coaching Psychologist (International Society for Coaching Psychology) * Registered Psychologist- Clinical Scope (New Zealand Psychologists Board) * Doctor of Clinical Psychology * Pre‑qualified Executive Coach – Leadership Development Centre (Chief Executive / Senior System Leader level) Based in New Zealand, I work nationally with leaders in complex, regulated, and public‑facing environments.
-Passionate about helping leaders move from languishing to flourishing- With over 18 years of leadership and coaching experience across six continents, I have worked within a variety of global, national, and local organisations to help clients become the best versions of themselves—both professionally and personally. This includes Employment (Career) Services, Human Resources/Learning, and Development, Community Services, Finance, Government, Retail/Hospitality, Education and Tech. Within these industries, I have helped both experienced and emerging leaders as well as individual contributors with leadership development, career planning, confidence, communication, conflict resolution, executive function, change/uncertainty, wellbeing, and parenting. Whilst able to work across all areas of leadership development, some of the most common areas of positive gain that people walk away with from coaching with myself include: -Increased connection with self and others. Through coaching, leaders can gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses and needs, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their team members. This can lead to improved communication and collaboration, and a stronger sense of connection within the team. -Improved communication skills. Effective communication is essential for any leader. Coaching has helped leaders develop their communication skills, so they can more effectively convey their ideas, build relationships, and resolve conflict. -Increased confidence. Almost all leaders have stated they have seen this as an outcome post coaching together! Coaching can help leaders develop a stronger sense of confidence in their abilities. This can lead to more assertive decision-making, greater risk-taking, and a more positive outlook on challenges. -Enhanced career/life development. Coaching can help leaders identify their career/life goals and develop a plan to achieve them. This can lead to promotions, increased responsibility, and greater job/life satisfaction. Many leaders have worked on this during our sessions and are now pursuing the career /life plans they were seeking. Passionate about DEIB, I am also a qualified ADHD coach and work with leaders to cultivate awareness of executive function and development of pragmatic skills to manage and thrive with their ADHD. This may be for the individual leader with ADHD or for any leader committed to cultivating and supporting staff with ADHD and a diverse workplace. The boring stuff... ICF-certified, I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching and Leadership, a Bachelor of Social Science (Welfare/Youth work), and multiple Diplomas in Human Resource Management. I am also a fully accredited DISC and 360 assessment facilitator. The fun stuff! Personally I enjoy music and singing, travel, the beach and mountains, pilates and reading and spending time with my friends and family.

I'm an experienced, EMCC accredited career development and leadership coach with over 25 years’ experience in commercial leadership roles. Having worked at a senior level in media sales as Commercial Director at the UK’s largest publishing company, Bauer Media, I totally get the pressures and complexities of leading in fast-paced, target-driven environments. Since transitioning into coaching from 2018, I have worked with many individuals and teams across multiple sectors, supporting them through organisational change, leadership challenges, career transitions and personal concerns. I bring warmth, humour, clarity and commercial insight to my coaching, and have particular interests in confidence-building, leadership identity and also financial wellbeing. I always take a whole-person approach that recognises the deep connection between personal wellbeing and career growth. With extensive experience in supporting a diverse range of emerging and senior leaders, including those with disabilities and neuro-diversities, I always like to create a space where every client can bring their whole selves. This includes the parts that might not always feel seen or understood in traditional workplace settings. Sessions will often take unexpected turns but always lead somewhere meaningful - whether that’s a lightbulb moment of clarity, a shift in perspective, or a clear and realistic plan of action. Every session is designed to feel like progress, and clients leave with greater confidence, renewed focus, and tools they can use straight away. One of my clients said 'Katie possesses a rare combination of warmth, understanding and compassion that makes her an extraordinary coach’ and that her ‘experience as a commercial leader gives her a deep understanding of business challenges which she combines with insightful coaching skills’.
With more than 22 years in professional services and corporate leadership, I am an insider in dealing with high pressure & team dynamics. To navigate transitions, build effective leadership, team relationship & performance, I work with leaders and teams to find their best selves under pressure as the world shifts beneath their feet. My time in professional services and corporate leadership includes 16+ years as Partner and Director in corporate finance and M&A, plus strategy and operations roles building new functions and evolving culture. I support my clients to navigate transitions, build resilience, and lead with more clarity, presence, and confidence. The leaders and organizations whom I work with are often navigating intense pressure, and value both high performance and a human-led culture. They are often facing change—new roles, team transitions, or shifting organizational structures—while balancing work and personal commitments in a world that requires constant adaptation. Clients seek coaching to transform mounting pressure, underperformance, and lost alignment into opportunities—recognizing they are not yet showing up as their best selves, and motivated to show up more intentionally for themselves and others. They care deeply about their work, their teams, and doing things well, and recognize that growth requires reflection and practice. Examples of leaders and teams I have partnered with: - Supported a regional head of talent and organizational development to realign career direction & personal identity after a significant role change. - Coached a director in a PR company to manage complex stakeholder expectations and reshape how they lead their team, improving processes and collaboration effectiveness. - Partnered with a lawyer in a large professional services firm balancing high-stakes client work with meeting her own personal needs for sustainable satisfaction and effectiveness. - Coached a leadership team in logistics to work through communication breakdowns, role clarity, and alignment around shared goals, rebuilding trust and improving collaboration.
I work with leaders and leadership teams in international and purpose-driven organisations facing complex situations or transitions. I help them find clarity, make sound decisions, and move things forward with confidence. My programmes run from 3 months to one year My clients often work in education, culture, and non-profits. They’re adapting to new countries, leading diverse teams, or working with high-stakes stakeholders such as boards, ministries, ambassadors, and international partners. I bring 24 years of senior leadership as country director with the British Council across Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. I’ve led multi-country teams, negotiated major ministry contracts, carried governance responsibility, shaped organisational strategy, and led major change initiatives. I was awarded the OBE for services to cultural relations and education. Alongside individual coaching, I also work with senior leadership teams, helping them step back from day-to-day pressures, strengthen trust and alignment, and navigate complex strategic challenges together. I offer you a confidential space where you can slow down, reflect and explore what matters most to you, delve into opportunities, uncover what’s holding you back, and move forward with clarity and purpose. Clients say I bring warmth, empathy and supportive challenge that helps them shift perspectives and make real progress. Client-reported results • Greater confidence stepping outside their comfort zones • Calm, resilience and better ways to manage pressure • Renewed professional passion • Clarity about career direction and next steps • More strategic thinking and confident decision-making.

Erika specializes in one of the most critical—and often overlooked—leadership transitions: helping newly promoted leaders shift from being individual problem-solvers to building problem-solving capability in others. Professional Background With 18 years of corporate experience, Erika's leadership expertise was forged through real-world transformation challenges. Most recently, as Vice President of Customer Focus at Wood Mackenzie, she led a $430M research business through a major organizational transformation, restructuring teams across 13 countries into a unified Customer Success function. Her achievements included driving a $3M uplift in retention, maintaining 68% engagement through significant restructuring, and developing multiple direct reports into regional leadership roles. Beyond operational results, Erika was recognized as a culture creator, founding the Singapore Coaching Club, serving on the APAC Leadership Team, and leading gender equity initiatives. This experience crystallized her understanding of the internal shifts required when high-performing strategic thinkers must influence and develop others rather than simply deliver results themselves. Coaching Expertise Erika's coaching practice focuses on leaders navigating the "hero trap": when the problem-solving abilities that made you a star individual contributor begin creating dependency instead of capability in your team. She works with strategic, high-performing leaders who excel at seeing what needs to change but struggle to influence others to follow their vision. Her approach goes beyond traditional leadership skills training to address the identity-level transformation required for sustainable leadership effectiveness. Through applied leadership experiments conducted in clients' real work environments, she helps leaders shift from anxiety-driven urgency to calm strategic presence, from needing all the answers to influencing without certainty. Unique Value Proposition What sets Erika apart is her deep understanding of the internal drives that create high performance—and how those same drives must evolve when leading others. She creates high-trust, structured transformation containers where accomplished leaders can safely examine and challenge their current narratives around leadership without losing what makes them exceptional. Client Profile Erika's clients are typically: Recently promoted leaders (0-3 years in leadership) from technical, analytical, or consulting backgrounds High performers leading organizational change who find their individual contributor strengths aren't translating to leadership influence Strategic thinkers ready for intensive personal development work without hand-holding Core Philosophy "The shift from hero to leader isn't about learning new skills; it's about the internal foundation that allows you to actually use them. When your identity hasn't caught up to your new expectations, you resist the very changes that would make you effective." Erika's coaching creates sustainable transformation by addressing not just what leaders do, but who they are and how they create value through others. Specializations: Leadership transitions, Change leadership, High-potential development, Individual contributor to manager transitions, Identity-based leadership coaching Approach: Applied experiments, Identity transformation, Peer learning, Structured reflection, Real-world application
Former international concert violinist. Led orchestras on stage and organisations off it. I know what performing at your best under pressure actually demands. That understanding is what I bring to senior leaders in Fortune 500 and Global 2000 organisations at CEO-1 and CEO-2 levels, through restructurings, strategic pivots, and leadership transitions. I help them lead with confidence, authority, and ease, even when the stakes are highest. My clients span Financial Services, Government, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Technology, and Pharmaceutical sectors. Many of these relationships extend over years and across multiple levels within the same organisation. Concrete outcomes include leaders stepping into promotions and expanded leadership scope, holding their team’s trust while managing their own uncertainty, and finding that what shifts most fundamentally is how they inhabit their leadership, not just how they execute it. Before coaching became my primary work, I spent nineteen years as Artistic Director and Chief Operating Officer of Stichting Camenae in Amsterdam, a cultural foundation I led through creative direction, programme design, event production (festivals of 500+ attendees), press and stakeholder relations, and operational budgets of €0.5 million. I co-founded Splendor Amsterdam, an independent cultural institution awarded the Amsterdam Prize for the Arts. I also co-founded and led Tune2Thrive as CEO, a coaching consultancy serving corporate and public sector clients across Europe. Both executive roles carried full P&L accountability. That gives me first-hand familiarity, not as an observer but as a practitioner, in the organisational complexity my clients navigate daily. I currently coach through BetterUp, where I hold the Premier Fellow Coach designation, reflecting sustained high-quality delivery and client outcomes at the top tier of the platform, and through EZRA, where my client satisfaction scores have consistently ranged between 96 and 100 out of 100. I am also a member of Better Coach’s curated global pool of 2,000+ certified coaches, serving Fortune 500 and Global 2000 organisations. My coaching methodology is Integral. I work with the whole person: mind, emotions, body, and worldview. I am faculty at Integral Coaching Canada in three capacities: as Phone Coach and Mentor for coaches-in-training, as Assessor at the Professional and Master levels, and invited on multiple occasions to serve on the Certification Committee at the Master level. I am conversant in and work directly with vertical development and adaptive leadership frameworks, and bring that fluency into every engagement with leaders navigating complexity. I am Hogan Assessments certified and ValueMatch Spiral Dynamics certified, with extensive experience facilitating 360-degree leadership debriefs, often as the entry point to an engagement. I work with assessment data as a starting place for reflective inquiry, not a diagnostic endpoint. A Managing Director in a global industrial group came to coaching to further develop executive presence and mentoring skills. Midway through our work, the organisation entered a significant round of layoffs. The coaching shifted. What they needed was not presence training. It was the capacity to hold their team’s trust and engagement while carrying their own uncertainty about what the restructuring meant for them. By the end of the engagement, they described being clearer about what belongs to their level and what belongs to their team, and more able to manage their energy in conditions where the ground kept moving. That said, my most important credential is not a certification. I spent 35 years as an international concert violinist on the world's most demanding stages. That career gave me something certifications cannot: a field-tested understanding of how presence functions as the mechanism that separates technically correct performance from one that moves people. Performance psychology research has since confirmed what elite performers have always known: the first thing that degrades under extreme pressure is not skill. It is the quality of attention behind the skill. Executives navigate exactly this territory. They rarely have the methodology for it. When professionals told me my career was over, I didn't fight it with willpower. An injury made that impossible. It took that forced pause to discover what I'd been moving too fast to notice. My learning became the foundation of everything I do as a coach, deepened further by years of training in Aikido, ballroom dance, and scuba diving, all of which shape how I listen, what I notice, and the questions I ask that help you see what you might be missing. I coach in Italian and English. If you are facing something that is asking more of you, you do not have to navigate it alone, even if part of you thinks you should. I would be honoured to accompany you.
As a Personal Leadership and Mental Well-Being Coach, I am passionate about supporting my clients in designing paths and perspectives for their life and work, that balance effectiveness, fulfillment and mental well-being. My coaching work is firmly grounded in my professional coaching credentials (ICF-PCC, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Certified Mental Fitness Coach, trained Embodied Transformation Coach, Internal Family Systems Coach in training) and experience of coaching 150+ clients from diverse backgrounds on a wide variety of topics over about 700 hours (and counting). It builds atop a decade of global HR experience with MNCs in HR Business Partnering and specialist roles (Learning & Development, Talent Management, Org Development) where I partnered with diverse leaders across the globe (Europe, Asia, US) in challenging and transformative organizational journeys. I’ve actively supported the start-up and build-up phase of functions and programs as well as their transformations- by bringing conceptual principles along with pragmatism, coaching leaders to be effective, mediating people matters, facilitating teams to be high performing, helping the organization reach efficient and effective structures, and ensuring fairness and efficiency of people processes. My own journey enables me to understand employees, business leaders, entrepreneurs, personal and professional transitions, and the call towards more fulfillment.

I bring two decades of leadership experience in international business, managing diverse teams of up to 20 people. My journey spans a decade in Europe (Estonia, Sweden) and the past ten years in the UAE, with hands-on experience in fast-paced startup environments. I have successfully opened and scaled offices in global markets, including GCC, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, and South Africa. This diverse cultural exposure has sharpened my adaptability and expertise in fostering cross-cultural collaboration. With a strong background in strategy, operations, and team development, I now leverage this experience in my coaching practice to support meaningful transitions and sustainable growth. I completed my training with the Co-Active Institute in 2018 and have integrated coaching principles into my leadership and management roles until becoming fully certified in 2024, when I transitioned into coaching full-time. Over the last decade, I have built a strong presence in the mindfulness space, delivering online mentoring, training, and courses to individuals and groups worldwide. As a coach, I take a holistic approach, blending my extensive business leadership experience with deep expertise in mindfulness and personal growth. I work with individuals to foster clarity, resilience, and sustainable growth, helping them navigate transitions and align their actions with meaningful goals. This combination of practical strategy and inner development equips my clients to thrive both personally and professionally.
I bring 25 years of experience teaching, leading, disrupting and coaching for impact. I help leaders step back, reflect, and access their greatness. My experience spans four continents - the US, Australia, South Africa and Japan. I have fought for equity in urban school districts in Compton, Milwaukee, Boston and Denver for ~20 years in the US, helping effect change through effective but balanced leadership. I have also designed leadership development training in Australia and South Africa, deepening implementation through in-person and virtual coaching. I returned to school leadership in Japan months before the pandemic and led through one of the most VUCA times in history. My passion in coaching is supporting leaders to be their best selves. This happens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to: unpacking difficult situations, breaking down barriers to success, turning ideas into detailed plans, and identifying and aligning values. I am an empathetic listener who is in your corner, cheering you on...and also holding you accountable so you can realize your goals. It would be an honor to collaborate and help both you and your organization achieve success!

Gillian Walter Hello and a very warm welcome. I’m Gillian Walter, an Accredited Master Coach, Advanced Credentialled Team Coach, Accredited Master Coach Supervisor, teacher, mentor and author. I work with individuals, groups, teams, leaders and coaches who want to grow with clarity, confidence, and integrity from the inside out. I bring over 4,000 hours of coaching experience, alongside many years of teaching, supervising, assessing and mentoring coaches at different stages of their professional journey. My work spans 1:1 coaching, team coaching, coaching supervision and coach education, always grounded in strong ethical foundations and a deep respect for each person’s unique way of thinking, learning, working and leading. Originally from the UK, I have lived and worked on Lake Zürich since 2004, coaching in English, Swiss German and High German. Like many people I work with, I know first-hand that transition, whether cultural, professional or personal, can be both challenging and transformative. My own experience as an expatriate sparked a long-standing curiosity about how people adapt, grow and rediscover themselves in times of change based on their inner-narratives. That compassionate curiosity continues to shape my work today. My professional background includes early work bringing coaching principles into organisations alongside a Canadian ice-hockey coach, followed by formal coach training with the Institute de Coaching in Geneva, Narrative Coaching with the Moment Institute, and Coaching Supervision with the Coaching Supervision Academy. Over time, my practice has evolved into a rich integration of systemic, narrative, somatic, creative and evidence-based coaching approaches. Alongside my private practice, I teach and supervise within a team coaching school, working closely with the Team Coaching Global Alliance. I also train and mentor new coaches with the Institute de Coaching, and teach coaching supervision students, supporting them to develop reflective capacity, ethical maturity and confidence in their own voice and style. At the heart of my work is a deep belief that who you are is how you work at your best. My passion is bringing confidence and clarity to each unique voice and helping people reconnect with their authentic strengths, creativity and inner authority. I care deeply about creating spaces that are both safe and structured enough to support trust and open enough for play, curiosity and exploration for fresh perspectives, learning and growth to emerge. Creativity runs through everything I do. I am also a poet and fine artist, and I regularly weave metaphor, imagery and reflective practices into my coaching and supervision. I’ve learned over the years that insight doesn’t only come from thinking harder, it often arrives when we slow down, listen differently and allow new ways of knowing to surface. Everyone is different, even when situations look similar. I love partnering with clients to explore recurring patterns, challenge limiting narratives and old, limiting habits to uncover the “superpowers” often hidden within what once felt like obstacles. Seeing someone step into their own, authentic way of being - better resourced, more self-trusting and more at ease is what makes my work endlessly fun and meaningful to me. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced coaching partner who combines depth, creativity, structure, warmth and playfulness, I’d be delighted to work with you. I’m very much looking forward to getting to know you.
