Not necessarily. While many of my clients live or work abroad, I also support professionals who lead across cultures, manage international teams, or operate in environments where expectations, communication styles, and unspoken rules differ.

If cultural complexity is affecting your confidence, communication, or leadership effectiveness, this work is likely relevant for you.

Clients often come to me when they are:

• Feeling anxious or unprepared for a new role or position abroad
• Struggling to communicate clearly in a different cultural context
• Experiencing tension, isolation, or dissatisfaction at work
• Losing confidence after a move, career disruption, or leadership challenge
• Managing conflict or misunderstanding within multicultural teams
• Questioning how their skills and experience translate into a new environment

Coaching helps bring clarity, perspective, and practical ways forward.

I don’t work from scripts or generic frameworks. My coaching is grounded in lived cross-cultural experience, emotional intelligence, and real-world leadership challenges.

We focus on:

• Understanding emotional and cultural dynamics as they actually show up at work
• Strengthening self-regulation, awareness, and presence
• Translating insight into clear, usable action
• Supporting the whole person, professional and human

This is thoughtful, reflective work with practical outcomes.

No. Coaching is not therapy, and I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

It is also not consulting in the sense of telling you what to do. Instead, I guide you through inquiry, reflection, and structured conversations that help you make better decisions, strengthen your leadership, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Each session is a focused, confidential conversation tailored to your situation.

We may work on:

• Preparing for upcoming conversations, decisions, or transitions
• Understanding emotional reactions and cultural misunderstandings
• Strengthening communication and leadership presence
• Reframing challenges and identifying new possibilities
• Developing strategies you can apply immediately

Sessions are calm, direct, and grounded in your real context.

When appropriate, I integrate evidence-based tools such as Hogan Assessments and strengths-based frameworks to support self-awareness and development.

These tools are always used thoughtfully and in service of your goals, never as labels or shortcuts.

It depends on the individual and the situation.

Some clients come for short-term support during a specific transition or challenge. Others choose ongoing coaching to deepen leadership capacity, confidence, and resilience over time.

We discuss this together after the discovery call and create a realistic plan.

Yes. I work with both individual leaders and teams, particularly in multicultural and cross-functional environments.

Team work often focuses on communication, emotional intelligence, trust-building, cultural awareness, and reducing friction so people can work together more effectively.

I offer coaching sessions in English and Spanish.

The best way is through a free discovery call. This is a 30-minute conversation where we explore your situation, what feels challenging right now, and whether working together makes sense.

There is no pressure or obligation, just a clear, honest conversation.
