“May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears” – Nelson Mandela
My Story
What are your fears stopping you from pursuing? What are they protecting you from? What’s possible when you finally go beyond?
Having made choices from both places, hope and fear, I see this as a powerful tango duet. At their intersection lies courage. “Courage is not the absence of fear; it is fear walking”, psychologist Susan David says. Walking alongside your fears, accepting and holding them with compassion, while taking bold action, step by step; this is what we ‘ll dive into together.
A creative storyteller at heart, a dreamer and a coach, my passion is empowering you to reconnect with your whole, true, self; to create from your heart and thrive, professionally and personally.
Imagine you live the life you want. At your dream place. Imagine doing a job you love. Fully aligned with your personal values.
Imagine you have meaningful, enriching relationships -both in work and life. What you share and how you communicate has a positive impact – on yourself and those around you.
Imagine you have someone to truly listen to you. Someone who sees your best-self shining bright and supports you in creating the future you desire. On purpose. Your way. At your pace.
A mix of curiosity, growth mindset and an unquenchable thirst for self-discovery led me to the Co-Active Training Institute and coaching. At some point in my career and personal life, I reached a plateau. Unhealthy and unfulfilled, I started questioning where do I belong and wondering about my future possibilities. At that point, my involvement in a corporate storytelling learning journey planted the coaching seed. I witnessed how change starts from within, at the individual level. I saw colleagues confidently communicating who they are, what they stand for, and how that was essential and liberating in their work and beyond. I remembered what I loved about communication in the first place; its true essence, which taps into our uniqueness as human beings and how we relate with each other.
Nowadays, I enjoy inspiring and encouraging Doers to reconnect with who they are, discover their north star and express what they really want. I focus on you as a whole person; heart and mind, body and soul. Meanwhile, I keep evolving, learning and exploring the stories and fears held in our bodies.
A colorful, international, years-long professional experience as a corporate communications manager taught me resilience – and not to take things too seriously! An avid words lover, asking questions is my creative playground, while media relations and communication is my formal background.
Currently living in my native Athens, Greece, with my husband, I am a keen traveler, sea and dark-chocolate lover. I believe that seeking connection is at the core of who we are and what we do. We all long to connect: to ourselves, another human being or a group, even something bigger than us.
My Professional Experience
Over 20 years in big corporations and a consistent career path in corporate communications, of which 10 years abroad; this was all it took to lead me back to basics: human communication!
Following my studies in Communications & Mass-Media, I worked as a freelance journalist and a public relations consultant at an NGO, before landing onto the telecommunications industry. From there, storytelling brought me to coaching.
