Leading with Science, Coaching from the Heart

"To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart." —Eleanor Roosevelt

Real change starts by understanding how your emotions shape the way you lead. Drawing on both research and real-life experience, I’ve created a five-part approach that helps you lead with confidence, authenticity, and heart.

1- Emotional awareness (EQ)

I believe that whatever it is you say you really want, whether you really get there or not is all going to come down to the habit of emotion you get into most. If you feel like you’re not enough, that’s what you’ll unconsciously act out, however if you feel courage or playfulness,you will get the results you want. Through our coaching we will explore what causes you to feel, think and behave the way you do, so you can unleash your“emotional power” that will fuel lasting change for you and your organization.

2- Rewiring thinking patterns

I employ cognitive behavioral coaching techniques to help leaders identify and transform limiting thought patterns into empowering mindsets. This practical approach delivers tangible results, particularly valuable for analytical minds navigating complex organizational challenges.

3- The brain at work

Integrating neuroscientific insights about brain plasticity and emotional regulation (Rock & Page, 2009), my approach leverages understanding of neural mechanisms to facilitate behavioral change.  Understanding how your brain processes leadership challenges helps unlock new possibilities for growth and resilience.

4- Data-driven development

I use world-class psychometric tools including EQ-i and Hogan assessments to provide objective insights into leadership strengths and growth areas. This scientific foundation helps create focused, measurable development paths.

5- Innovation in action

While embracing traditional coaching wisdom, I also harness innovative technologies including AI-enhanced reflection tools. This forward-thinking approach resonates particularly well with leaders in technology and professional services.
