I support woman leaders to:
Bring meaning to their lives by aligning their career to their core values
Increase their inner balance through mindfulness and other wellbeing technics
Improve their relationships by increasing their empathy and compassion
Reduce anxiety and exhaustion by changing the inner narrative
Uplevel their leadership style by embracing courage, empathy and connection.
Whether you are C-level Executive, a Manager or a Leader in a national and multinational company, a Legal Professional or Owner of your own business, I am here to offer you the space you need to discover who you are beyond your professional role
You have worked hard to reach where you are today: a successful leader or professional with an impressive career, highly appreciated for your mind, agility and business or professional acumen. Yet, you do not feel the thrill of life anymore:
You are exhausted, always on the run, with no time and mind space for yourself.
You are at the peak of your career, yet you have an emptiness that is there with you.
The higher you go, the emptier you feel inside.
You don’t find meaning anymore. The kids have grown up, maybe you divorced or maybe you did not even get to have a family yet.
The emptiness inside is growing bigger and the anxiety is visiting you often.
You feel like an engine running out of oil.
What used to bring you joy and energy has now vanished.
You might not see it now, but there is a joyful, creative, vibrant part of you that you may have shut down to allow the logical, strategic, determined version of you succeed. It’s time to bring her to life to generate a fresh stream of energy inside yourself, a new perspective, a new way of living your life.
You don’t need to change anything outside, or at least not yet, you just need to connect with that other side of you that is craving for acknowledgement and self-expression.
Why chose me as your Coach or Mentor?
I spent 25 years as legal and compliance professional: 13 years as commercial lawyer, and then the last 12 years in-house legal expert in a top IT multinational. I had the privilege of advising several C-level regional executives and multiple mid-managers on legal and business compliance topics.
My regional roles as business compliance leader required me contributing to building a culture of ethics and integrity in high-risk markets like Central Europe, India, Middle East and Africa, where I’ve supported business leaders in making informed decisions on sensitive issues. Throughout my career, I’ve navigated significant organizational changes and cultural shifts, including a major transformation in a top IT multinational.
My professional life helped me build a breath of skills and abilities that are now serving me well as a coach and mentor to leaders and managers:
Capacity of solving complex problems;
Business and solution-oriented mindset;
Creative in addressing sensitive issues to meet both business and culture needs;
Global perspective and a deep understanding of cultural differences;
Agility in working with multicultural environment;
Great communication skills across cultural backgrounds;
Adaptability to organizational transformations;
High emotional intelligence and active listening skills;
Ability to immediately spot problematic mindset patters or limiting beliefs.
My personal journey was marked by several significant life events, including living in India for about three years, divorce and losing my elder daughter in a car accident. Depression has been present in my life since I was a young adult.
Living such events required me to go through dramatic shifts in mindset: turn loss into learning, find meaning in depression and, finally, overcome surviving mechanisms and finding ways to bring joy in my life! How did Ido that? Through 15 years of therapy of all kinds, both psychotherapy and spiritual therapy, a varied means of mindfulness technics and deep personal introspection.
If you’re looking to evolve your mindset and adjust your life focus, I believe my personal and professional experiences can provide valuable support and insights.
I firmly believe that
Women Leaders have the power to create significant change in the world
when they bring more of their
authenticity, creativity and wisdom, crafting a
leadership style rooted in empathy, responsibility, and genuine connection.
Many women in leadership positions experience these challenges
especially in industries driven by masculine nergy – IT, telecom, heavy indurstry, law etc.
“I feel stuck in my life, there must be something else beyond work.”
“I am constantly on firefighting and can’t find moments of peace.”
“I feel physically and emotionally drained and have lost passion for what I do. I feel dull.”
“I struggle to find a balance between my work and personal life.”
“I feel like an impostor, with moments of panic at work, even though I am successful in my career.”
“I do therapy, massage, a lot of sport, and yet my body is tight, tired, and everything hurts.”

through uncovering that part of you that you have kept closed inside because it did not fit other’s expectations, social requirements, or the image of a successful woman
Many of us kept small inside that creative child, the one that saw colors, the one that used to talk to the trees, the one that used to dress in a tulle skirt in winter.
Maybe it’s time that you meet that vibrant part of you, the creative you, the one that brings aliveness, freshness, youthness.
You don’t need to change your life for that or go away or leave your job….you just need to bring to light that side of you that you shut down, voiced off, pushed away because it was too dreamy, too colorful, too different.
THIS IS WHAT I PROPOSE TO YOU:
„The Vibrant You”
Coaching Program includes:
A 6-session package of 1:1 coaching to unfold over 3 months.
2h session to identify the main areas to work on, and define objectives, followed by 5 sessions of 1.5h each.
The coaching can take place online or in person, as per your preference.
Some of the topics that we can cover are:
Blockages: discover where do you feel stuck and why;
Values: assess your core values and identify ways to increase and expand those type of activities that brings you energy and joy; transform those that suck energy out of you;
Inner resources: dig for inner resources that you have shut down when a child or later in life; uncover ways to make them work for you;
Connect: learn ways to connect to yourself – read your body, connect to your heart, tame your mind;
Imagine the New You: find new ways of living, interacting, and leading through integrating the inner resources into your current life; we explore what becomes possible if you capitalize on the newly discovered sides of yourself; how can you be a contribution to others;
Implement: based on a practical strategy and clear objectives, you can bring to life certain goals in your personal or professional life harnessing the newly discovered inner resources;
New leadership: when you bring more of you to light, you can enrich your leadership style too; you can explore and strategize which of the inner resources and contribute differently to how you lead others, how you interact, how you contribute to business strategy and objectives.
This is for you if:
You are successful by all society standards, and yet you find it hard to pause and enjoy your success.
Your life feels like an endless succession of tasks and activities, mostly in service of others (work, home, your loved ones).
Despite spending time with your children, you struggle to truly connect with them.
You give yourself very little time for self-care, and your pleasures are limited to vacations and small purchases that bring only fleeting joy.
You lost the thrill of doing your work, started to procrastinate various tasks and despite having a great job you don’t find the joy and energy anymore.
