Harriet Nelson
I have always been interested in people— who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I am naturally open and particularly curious about cultures different from my own. Coaching, for me, offers the best combination of my skills and interests in a constructive and useful way for others. I believe we all have potential, and coaching is a key enabler to activate this potential, regardless of our role or the context of our work. Coaching facilitates personal insight, learning, clarity, and authenticity, providing an opportunity to pause before consciously re-engaging to reach our desired goals. Outcomes may include a clearer way forward, increased self-awareness and learning, and clarity on deeper purpose.
I am constantly learning, with my current focus on understanding the interplay between the individual and the systems they come from. Additionally, I am studying how to work more somatically to enable better awareness of the whole self. As a lifelong animal lover, I am also interested in animal-facilitated learning and how horses may be part of the coaching process.

Jakub Grzadzielski
Jakub Grzadzielski's journey began as a chorister in the renowned Stuligrosz Choir, touring throughout Europe during his childhood. Transitioning from music to sports, he played center for a major Polish regional basketball team until a serious knee injury altered his career path.

In his 17 years leading teams in the automotive industry, Jakub discovered his true passion: working with and for people. Helping others achieve success brings a sense of accomplishment that he treasures.

Judith Cohen
As an International Coach Federation (ICF) designated Master Coach (MCC) and a member of the Co-Active Training Institute faculty for over twenty-five years, I bring over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, coach, and trainer, earning recognition as an elder in the coaching community. Since 1995, I've assisted coaches in developing deep self-awareness and understanding their clients, uncovering how mindsets impact desired outcomes. In cases of biases and limitations, we collaboratively reframe situations to evoke and actualize new and improved results.
I firmly believe that both coaching and justice share a common purpose: to foster new mindsets and conditions that serve the needs of clients and their communities. In my role as your coach, I am dedicated to expanding your awareness, enabling you to optimize the law to benefit both yourself and the parties you serve.

Despite her passing in 2018, Judith Glaser's legacy continues to influence the coaching and leadership development landscape.

Liliana Jurado
I partner with leaders and teams to develop collective collaborative leadership. During the past 2 years, globalization, digitalization, and high complexity have required organizations to shift from individual leadership to collective leadership development to become more resilient. So, I help leaders enhance their self-awareness, systemic and complex thinking, presence, and leadership maturity to learn, adapt, and thrive amidst these complex dynamics. As a result, they become better-equipped learners to foster cross-functional collaboration, promote collective intelligence, and impact diverse stakeholder groups. Holistically, I address development by engaging the whole person for long-lasting results and a more significant impact. By applying an evidence-based and systemic approach to leadership and coaching, I help teams and leaders increase their performance (what they do now), capability (their ability to perform in the future), and capacity (how they do more with less). Moreover, I draw on my 14+ years of work experience in multiple industries and global organizations, such as the United Nations, to bring a multicultural perspective and support my clients the best. In addition, I am pursuing an M.A. in Human Development and a Ph.D. in Organizational Development and Change at Fielding University, and I am a bilingual business professional (MBA).

Paul Chang
As a millennial, I'm intimately connected to our needs and desires. I believe that the most valuable gift we can give ourselves is the awareness of our choices and the ability to be mindful in making them.
I initially ventured into a corporate marketing career in my early 20s, embracing it as my world without questioning my motives. I hold an MBA degree from one of Australia's premier business schools, placing me on a conventional path toward a comfortable retirement.
Despite the apparent success, I wasn't content. In 2015, I made a conscious choice to disrupt my life in pursuit of a career that was both meaningful and fulfilling. The journey wasn't swift, and it came with its share of challenges. Nevertheless, it was worthwhile, leading me to discover the array of choices available to me and the values most important in my life.
Having gone through this transformative process, I understand the advantages of having a sounding board, a confidante, or simply someone who cares. I comprehend the profound need for guidance, the importance of taking breaks, pausing, and reassessing. It's not an easy journey, but I can attest to its worth.

My approach to coaching Coaching is a partnership in which the coach inspires clients, through a process of thought provoking and creative interventions, to reach their full potential. My approach to coaching is significantly influenced by my experience in the workplace over 37 years as a corporate lawyer in South Africa both as a partner in Africa?s largest law firm and as a General Counsel of a FTSE 100 company. Over these 37 years I have realised that there is a strong link between optimal performance in the world of work and emotional robustness. Accordingly, where appropriate, I work with clients to focus on their inner strengths and self awareness in relation to the goals which clients have established for their coaching sessions. Through my own experiences, I have a good understanding of the pressures that clients face when trying to balance meeting the needs of their own demanding clients with life outside the office as well as finding a successful route through complex relationships and less than optimal management of people. In addition as I have been both a provider and user of corporate legal services I feel I can offer valuable insights into what it is like to be on both sides of any professional relationship but more especially in the world of law. My core coaching principles In every coaching relationship I apply a number of core principles ? ?tI act ethically according to what best serves the needs of the client; ?tI aim to be empathetic, supportive, totally non-judgmental and unconditional; ?tI endeavour to stretch clients to step outside their comfort zone ? the ?loving boot? in coaching speak; ?tI am open and honest and open to receiving feedback which is similarly open, honest and direct; ?tI listen carefully with an uncluttered mind and observe non-verbal cues; ?tI aim to create a safe and totally confidential space to enable clients to build trust and feel empowered to be their authentic selves.

Rachel Dungan
I believe that who we are and what we do matters. You are the person who is the activist, professional, leader, parent, child, friend, artist, the athlete, the spouse. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you have a profound ripple effect in the world. That is why I am passionate about empowering, enabling, equipping, and engaging my clients to expand and grow, for the sake of amplifying their positive impact in their world.
My coaching has been deeply informed by my experience growing up on a farm, traveling and working with a variety of people in 6 continents, working in acute and mental health hospital settings, running a community pharmacy business, and running my own business as a professional leadership and wellbeing coach for the past decade, while being Mum to three children (now teenagers). I believe that sustainable, conscious leadership emanates from a well-spring of self-care and personal leadership. I aim to live in increasing integrity with this principle myself, and work with my clients to do the same. By bringing a whole-person, systemic perspective to coaching, I aim to empower my clients to narrow the 'know-do' gap and lead from a place of increasing integration, integrity, and innovation.

Sebastian Fox
I began my career in various roles within large corporations, including finance, sales, and client management in the UK, Europe, and Asia. After returning to the UK, I served as a Marketing and Business Development Director for a major law firm. This experience inspired me to establish my own business over 15 years ago, dedicated to assisting professional firms in enhancing their client management and relationships, primarily through client interviews.
Working closely with these firms, I realized that simply gathering information and feedback from clients was insufficient for driving meaningful change. The key to making a difference lay in focusing on individuals, encouraging them to change their behaviors to better meet the expectations of their clients. This realization sparked my journey toward qualifying as an executive coach. More recently, having observed the impact of teams on overall performance, I expanded into team coaching.
My coaching expertise lies in leadership development, sales teams, and individual sales/business development. Leveraging my background in sales team roles and managing significant client accounts, I assist clients in transforming their behaviors to concentrate on actions that genuinely drive business growth. Witnessing individuals enhance their confidence and skills to excel in sales is particularly gratifying.
