The Intelligence to Lead. The Clarity to Live.

“Svetlana is an exceptional Emotional Intelligence coach. What truly distinguishes Svetlana is her ability to connect with executives and guide them through their transformative career journeys. She approaches coaching not just as a directive process but as a skill-building endeavor, empowering her clients rather than merely telling them what to do. Her unique talent for identifying strengths and areas for growth is remarkable. Svetlana invests significant time in understanding her clients and their unique needs, tailoring her coaching to create a personalized experience. She equips them with a toolkit they can use to achieve success in their careers and impact in the world. Svetlana's passion for helping others is a powerful and often underrated behavioral trait that makes a significant difference in the lives of those she coaches.”

Raj Khattoi, VP, Infineon, California

"Quite honestly, Svetlana’s coaching has changed my life. She helped me make crucial changes to manage my work-life integration more effectively during a very challenging time, which involved a demanding leadership role and personal obligations (sick child) that drained me in the process. Svetlana helped me create and stick to a clear path in order to reduce my stress levels, boost my transformational leadership style, and feel fulfilled both personally and professionally. I did not need to change the job I love, but rather I learned, with Svetlana’s support, how to make changes to my daily priorities and habits which have had a hugely valuable impact on my overall well-being.”

Emily Ehrgood Watt, VP, BP, UK

“As my executive coach, Svetlana helped me navigate a tumultuous time in my career and in doing so prepared me for my promotion and transition from Director to Vice President. She excelled at identifying opportunities for improvement and coaching me to excel as my best self. She helped me to develop my executive presence, to collaborate with C-level leaders effectively, and to focus on and drive results that were important to the business while making the most of my experience and expertise. Plus, she's a great person, and that is an oft overlooked but critical characteristic of a coach to me. I would love to work with Svetlana again, and would highly recommend her to others, as she has so much to offer leaders like myself.”

Greg Russell, VP, Disco University, Texas

“Svetlana's superpower is her deep listening and compassionate accountability. She challenged me to reconsider my initial goals for coaching and reach higher to define my purpose.The result was improved clarity on how to leverage my strengths, and tools to help me prioritize and manage my energy. No matter how I showed up for our coaching sessions (at times less prepared than I had planned), Svetlana adjusted her approach. One session in particular, she used a guided meditation approach. This enabled me to create the space that I needed for clarity and make immediate progress on a challenge that I was facing at the time.. I recommend, without reservation, working with Svetlana so that you can connect with your potential!

Jenny Lee, Director, Amazon, Virginia

“Perception of capability tied with a shared passion for results identify Svetlana's approach. Each of us strives to advance. We work toward continuous improvement. We look for the resonance between our innate abilities and our environment. The greatest accomplishments will be achieved when these core elements are understood and then leveraged for the best performance in our companies. Building upon all that has been accomplished is the best foundation; moving forward, exploiting our abilities. Svetlana works to combine the internal abilities and the external opportunities into a rewarding game plan for the future. You and your company will benefit. With clarity of thought, you and your team will attain results you never thought possible.“

Gary Feather, Principal, XStream, Oregon

"Svetlana is a highly professional and efficient coach. Her extensive experience and academic knowledge of various methodologies enable her to excel in the process of change and designing life purpose. Svetlana is a wonderful person, empathetic and who immediately creates rapport with her clients, transforming each session into a beautiful and resourceful journey. She is strong in challenging clients and supports them throughout their development and discovery process by increasing awareness of new options, possibilities and resources that people need to overcome obstacles that may be blocking their way. I strongly recommend Svetlana to anyone who wishes to achieve objectives that from their current state are perceived to be unobtainable. “

Alexa Smith, Founder of Space Institute, Spain

“Svetlana has been my coach for over a year now, and she has made an instrumental difference in my career and leadership style. She has transformed my life and helped me align my career with my own life purpose and values. Together, we developed achievable, actionable plans that have resulted in my promotion twice within the last year alone! She has helped me grow both professionally and personally using her emotional intelligence coaching style. I can not thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to transform their career and invest in personal development"

Emily Tsai, Sr. Director, Karius, California

"Svetlana has made such a huge impact not only with career coaching but also personal. She has an organic way of connecting and challenging you at the same time. She coaches from a place of compassion, and though she has years of experience, she meets you where you are at and starts building from that point. I am a better leader because of her. If I were to close my eyes and think of impact, compassion and the best coach… Svetlana’s face appears. I highly recommend Svetlana as a leadership, emotional, personal and relationship coach. She changed my life!"

Albert Gosling, Sr. Director, Macy’s, Florida

“The best way to describe my coaching with Svetlana is that it was “transformational”. It truly was. I am not the same person I am now that I was before I began coaching with her. She was my coach during a very difficult transition into a high management position with many professional challenges, as well as a move to a new country with my family. With Svetlana’s help I managed to find clarity, balance and face all challenges successfully. Today I can’t thank her enough. She was a faithful and reliable partner helping me discover and express my true self and start my own business. If you have doubts about what is next in your already successful career and transitioning into an executive leader or becoming an entrepreneur, I highly recommend taking an Executive Emotional Intelligence journey with Svetlana. She is an entrepreneur and a leader who inspires others to reach their potential.”

Alexandra Claes, Founder, AC Consultancy, Germany

“I am honored to be able to say a few words about the remarkable positive influence Svetlana has had on me during our time working together. Not only did I learn from what she helped me to see with regard to myself, but I also learned a tremendous about from observing her skills and methods, skills and methods I would hope to learn some portion of for my own use. Moreover, I've noticed a marked improvement in many aspects of both my professional and personal spheres. The strategies Svetlana has shared, the mindset she has modeled, and the support she has provided have been a prime mover of this growth. I now approach my personal goals with the same level of intensity and commitment as my professional ones, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life. On reflection, it's clear that Svetlana's coaching has been a beacon and a true inspiration..”

Sergey Lobanov, Global Technology Leader, Novartis, New York

"Svetlana has a rare gift for seeing what’s holding people back, and helping them move through it with clarity and confidence. In one of our recent conversations, she helped me recognize that I was standing in my own way when it came to making an executive career shift. I believed I had to master everything before making a move, but Svetlana gently reminded me that learning is ongoing, and that I already bring deep experience to the table. Her insight, encouragement, and ability to reframe limiting beliefs had a real impact on me. She’s a powerful thought partner and someone whose perspective I truly value. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking honest insight, sharp thinking, and thoughtful coaching guidance."
