About

I help professionals and executives navigate change with clarity, confidence, and a focus on sustainable growth and wellbeing. I am an ICF trained coach and experienced project manager with more than twenty years in professional environments, including over fifteen years leading international, multicultural projects and operations. I support professionals and executives who are navigating change, including career transitions, leadership shifts, global relocations, and return-to-work journeys. I help clients gain clarity, build confidence, and achieve measurable outcomes. My coaching approach combines different coaching techniques and tools with tactical empathy, calibrated questions, and structured strategy. I have training in systemic coaching, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), coaching with projective images, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), hypnosis, among other tools and techniques. This enables clients to surface what truly matters, make informed decisions, and move forward with purpose. I integrate wellbeing practices into every engagement to ensure that progress is not only effective but also energizing and sustainable. With a background in operations and onboarding design, I have helped organizations reduce time to productivity and improve team integration. I apply coaching principles alongside operational excellence to drive clarity, efficiency, and long-term growth, particularly during periods of transition. I work in both English and Spanish. I am currently training in Artificial Intelligence for Business Innovation, with the aim of applying responsible and practical AI solutions to enhance productivity and decision making. Coaching Focus Areas: • Career transitions, global relocations, and return-to-work strategies • Interview mastery • Strategic leadership, high-impact communication, and senior-level influence • Entrepreneurial mindset and performance rhythm to lead with purpose and results • Onboarding strategy, frameworks, and transition support • Burnout recovery, stress resilience, and sustainable productivity • Wellbeing strategies and habit design for lasting change
