My Story

After experiencing the loss of a close friend and his unfulfilled potential, I realized the importance of pursuing one’s true passion. 

This led me to embrace coaching as a means of guiding individuals, teams, and organizations towards realizing their full potential.

Coaching has not only allowed me to help others but has also expanded my expertise and granted me a continuously learning experience.  

My journey as a leadership coach has been most rewarding in Equatorial Guinea, where I guided a leadership intern to become a successful senior leader managing a team of 60 employees across three organizations. 

Emotion plays a vital role in my coaching approach, where creativity and empathy empower emerging leaders to discover their unique voices, recognize their inherent power, and inspire meaningful impact through purposeful action.
