Introduction

I am a Practitioner, a Researcher, and an Author in Coaching because I have the belief that reflection and research-based work should be holding hands with action. Sociology (BSc), Psychology (MSc), and Management (Ph.D.) are the degrees that sustain my 28 years of work experience. I have been speaking internationally in matters of coaching, namely about: Coaching Cultures in Organizations, Intercultural Coaching, and Team Coaching.

Process

As a coach, I have complete respect for ethical codes that I endorse and existing at the client’s company, honoring the coaching community and the culture and the internal rules present in organizations with each I partner. I also consider a crucial requirement for my activity as a coach to focus on continuous development by using mentoring, supervision, and engaging in advanced training that promotes my delivery and the search for updating knowledge. Finally, I believe that all my work must have a deep concern for the client's request. Rather than using a specific methodology and rigid intervention models, I seek to ensure quality using project management to report progress, respecting confidentiality agreement. I also use evidence-based research to support my practice. Therefore, I'm currently expanding Dynamic Team Leadership Coaching. As a coach, I’m business and results-focused, supporting clients to achieve their highest potentials and organizations to develop talents aligned with their purpose and culture.
