Having a strong emotional intelligence and the ability to communicate with impact are crucial for any leader. These skills empower you to navigate challenges with confidence, build strong teams, and achieve your vision.

That's where I come in. As a Leadership Coach specializing in EQ and crafting impactful communication strategies, I help leaders unlock their full potential.

Empowering Leaders to Command Presence:

I leverage my expertise in EQ and communication to help leaders cultivate a powerful and impactful presence. This allows them to:

  • Decode complex situations and emotions.

  • Craft impactful communication strategies that inspire and engage.

  • Build strong, collaborative teams.

Leaders I work with often face challenges like:

  • Building trust and psychological safety in their teams.

  • Motivating and inspiring their teams towards a shared vision.

  • Communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders.

 

Unlocking Your Leadership Potential:

Witnessing the need for effective leadership development, I developed the C.H.A.N.G.E Method, a powerful six-chapter program that integrates the science of peak performance, EQ, positive psychology, and mindfulness. This framework empowers leaders to achieve lasting positive behavior change and reach their full potential.

I Witnessed the Need:

Early in my career, I observed how effective professionals embodied specific qualities: emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and powerful communication. Unfortunately, I also witnessed burnout, toxic leadership, and disengagement, often stemming from unhealthy work environments.

My Journey and Your Success:

My background includes a global perspective, an MA in Psychology and Education from Columbia University, a BA in Communications, and an ICF PCC credential (the highest level of coaching proficiency recognized by the International Coach Federation). I'm also a long-time student of meditation, Flow (the science of peak performance), and a certified yoga instructor.

This unique blend allows me to create a collaborative and engaging coaching experience where you feel comfortable exploring new ideas and finding your unique voice as a leader.

Testimonials

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ana, whom I would consider an exceptional career coach. Ana truly went above and beyond to help me achieve my professional goals. From the very first session, I was impressed by her ability to listen carefully and really understand my unique situation and challenges. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my success and was committed to helping me achieve it. Throughout our sessions, Ana provided invaluable direction, inspiration, and guidance, helping me identity my strengths and areas for growth. She was always supportive and encouraging, but also pushed me to challenge myself and step outside of my comfort zone. What really set Ana apart was her focus on development and building confidence. She did just give me a list of tops and tricks to help support my goal of public speaking/presenting amongst peers and senior leadership - Ana really took the time to understand my long-term goals and helped me create a personalized approach in achieving them during our sessions. Whether we were discussing specific opportunities or simply working on building my confidence and skills, Ana always has practical and actionable advice or resources that were tailored to my needs. Thank you, Ana, for your guidance and support, I feel more confident and prepared to step in front of a large group to present and continue to gain the exposure I know I deserve. Through your dedication, expertise and recommendations I walk away a stronger and more confident woman, leaders and professional.
