Get to know me

Hi, I'm Claudia

My work focuses on developing the internal foundations that support clear thinking, confident decisions and intentional leadership. Through coaching, leadership development and the EVOLVE framework, I guide individuals and teams in building the clarity, emotional steadiness and capabilities required to navigate complex responsibilities and lead with confidence.

At the core of my work is a simple belief: when people learn to lead themselves well, everything else begins to shift – their decisions, their relationships and the impact they create in the world.

My mission

To help ambitious professionals strengthen their self-leadership so they can lead their lives, relationships and work with clarity, confidence and intention.

how it started

My Path to Leadership Coaching

My journey into leadership development began in medicine, where I learned how people think, decide and perform under pressure.

Working in high-stakes environments showed me something early on: intelligence and ambition alone are not enough to lead effectively. The ability to remain clear-headed, emotionally steady and intentional in difficult moments is what truly shapes leadership.

Later in life, as I navigated major personal transitions including - moving countries, becoming a mother and stepping away from a stable career path - I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to redefine direction and identity.

That period led me to ask deeper questions:

Who am I becoming?
What kind of life and contribution do I want to create?
How do I move forward with clarity rather than pressure?

Those questions ultimately led me to the work I do today.

Over time, I began working with professionals who were highly capable and ambitious, yet facing the same internal challenges I had experienced: uncertainty about direction, overthinking decisions, emotional pressure and the sense that they were capable of more but unsure how to access it.

This is what ultimately led me to create the EVOLVE framework.

My approach

A grounded approach to leadership development

Leadership is often treated as something external — strategies, communication techniques or performance tactics.

While those skills matter, lasting leadership begins internally.

My approach focuses on strengthening the internal foundations that shape how people think, make decisions and relate to others.

Through the EVOLVE framework, clients clarify where they are going, strengthen the identity behind their leadership, build the capabilities required for their next level and expand their influence in meaningful ways.

Rather than relying on motivation or short-term solutions, this work creates a structure for sustainable growth that supports both personal and professional leadership.

"Every session gives me more clarity and a strong sense of direction. I no longer spiral into overthinking. Now, I am able to make decisions with more confidence because I’m anchored in my vision and what matters most. What has surprised me the most is how much this work has improved every area of my life. I feel more present with my family, more grounded and effective at work and more satisfied with how I’m living each day."

"I feel more confident and grounded, even in high-pressure situations. I’ve learned to stand up for myself, communicate clearly and focus on what I can control. The impact has been visible. Colleagues have started recognizing my leadership skills and have invited me to lead more projects and teams. I finally feel aligned with the direction I’m moving in."

"I knew I wanted more, but I didn’t yet have the clarity or confidence to act on it. Through this work, I made significant transitions, relocating to another country, stepping into a leadership role and trusting myself to guide new teams. I feel more confident, more grounded and far less reactive under pressure. I have a clear direction, a structure that supports me and space for myself and my family. The changes I’ve made feel deliberate, aligned and truly reflective of the life I want to lead."

– S.L.

A few things about me

Beyond the Work

While leadership development is at the center of my work, I’m equally passionate about living a life that reflects the values I encourage others to pursue.

I enjoy learning about human behavior, reading books that challenge my thinking and having conversations that broaden perspective.

Travel and experiencing new cultures have also shaped the way I view leadership and life. They remind me that growth often happens when we step outside familiar environments and see the world through a different lens.

Above all, I value the quiet moments that bring balance to busy seasons: time with family, thoughtful reflection and the space to reconnect what matters most.
