Let's talk
How it works

A clear path, from first call to lasting change

No mystique, no jargon. Just a structure that keeps the work honest and pointed at what matters to you.

Step 01

Discovery call

A free 30-minute conversation to hear what's on your plate and see whether we're a genuine fit. No pitch.

Step 02

Baseline & goals

An assessment plus a 90-minute deep dive to map where you are, where you're headed, and what would count as success.

Step 03

The work

Regular sessions where we tackle the real decisions in front of you — then turn insight into things you actually do.

Step 04

Measure & integrate

Midpoint and closing reviews against the goals we set — and the tools to keep growing long after we finish.

In their words

Leaders who found their footing

Nadia didn't hand me answers — she made me sharper at finding my own. Six months in, my leadership team runs without me in the room, and I sleep again.
MR Marta RuizVP Engineering · Northwind
I came in to fix my calendar and left with a different relationship to the whole job. The 90-day roadmap alone was worth the fee twice over.
DO David OseiFounder & CEO · Brightpath
Warm, but she won't let you off the hook. Our exec team finally makes decisions once instead of five times. That alone paid for the engagement.

About Nadia

Ten years leading teams. Twelve helping others do it better.

Before coaching, I spent a decade as a VP of People inside fast-growing companies — which means I've sat in your chair on the hard days. I know the loneliness of the top job, and I know how much lighter it gets with one honest thinking partner.

My work is warm but direct. We'll build on what's already working in you, name the patterns quietly costing you, and turn all of it into steadier, more deliberate leadership — the kind your team can feel.

Questions leaders usually ask first

1How soon will I see a difference?

Most clients feel a shift in how they think about a problem within the first two or three sessions. Durable changes in behaviour — the ones your team notices — tend to land over six to twelve weeks of consistent work.

2Do we meet online or in person?

Most engagements run over video, which lets me work with leaders across Europe and North America. If you're in or near Lisbon, we can meet in person for deep-dive sessions and offsites.

3What if it's not working for me?

We review fit and progress at the end of the first month, and again at each quarter. If the partnership isn't earning its place, we'll say so plainly and part on good terms — no lock-in beyond the current month.

4Is everything we discuss confidential?

Completely. I hold to the ICF Code of Ethics. When a company sponsors the coaching, we agree up front on what — if anything — is shared, and it's never the content of our sessions.
