  Founder, Executive and Leadership Coach

  After 𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, I have decided to help other leaders in their growth from great to excellent! Why coaching leaders and executives? These are three main reasons:1. My passion is to help people grow and develop. As every leader touches multitudes of their team members, wider ecosystem, family and friends - by coaching them to become better leaders influences huge number of other people as well.2. Leaders need to adapt and transform continuously as times are tough. Some of the topics we can work together are: creating new organizational setups, implementing culture changes, hybrid working, managing successions, helping leaders grow into new roles and responsibilities, accelerating ability to execute, growing as people leaders, and many more topics tailored to specific needs.3. Implementing Coaching Culture can make a tremendous change to how organization lives.
