How I work

Zuza in conversation, mid-sentence

I'll hold space. Then I'll ask the question you've been avoiding.

We notice what's happening in you. Then we put it in the calendar.

Anger welcome. Tears welcome. Excuses get questioned.

No borrowed frameworks. You build what fits how you lead.

We start with the task you're dreading.

I'm Zuza.

Before coaching, I spent over ten years inside companies: marketing and product management in a big corporation, then tech. I managed teams, ran trainings and facilitated reorganisations.

For years I said yes to everything. What I was missing wasn't skill. It was the confidence to choose my own priorities.

Now I help women leaders find theirs, and act on them.

ICF-certified (ACC).

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Zuza's coaching helped me transition from a people-pleasing mindset to a firm, boundary-led approach. I was able to reclaim my time and well-being while actually increasing client satisfaction and respect for my work."
Faith Roberts, founder, FiTech Community
"She helped me see self-care not as time away from performance, but as the foundation of it. A year later, her coaching still shapes how I lead and how I live."
Joao Ferreira, co-founder and CEO, Picnic
"Being stuck was the understatement of the year. If you run on empty, you can't out think your own situation."
Muhora Fröhlich, Strategic People Leader & Clinical Psychologist
"One of the toughest challenges I've faced as a founder is knowing when to hit the brakes while the ship is still moving at full speed. Working with Zuza gave me the clarity I needed."
Marc, founder, Candide

Questions

Is this for me?
Is this therapy?

No. Therapy looks back to heal. Coaching works with where you are now: how you lead, decide and react. If what you're carrying needs therapy, I'll tell you on the first call and point you to someone great.

I've done coaching before and not much changed. Why would this be different?

Most coaching happens in the conversation and stays there. You leave with a good insight and the same reaction on Tuesday. Here we also practise in the body, in the moment, which is where a reaction can actually be interrupted.

How it works
How much time does it take? I'm already stretched.

90 minutes every two weeks, online, plus messenger support Monday to Friday. Everything else happens inside the life you already have, and we start with the things eating your time.

What happens on the free call?

45 minutes. Where you are, what you want, what's in the way. You don't need to know what you want yet; that's often where we start. If we're a fit, I'll tell you exactly how we'd work together and what it costs. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.

What results can I expect?

I won't promise a specific outcome, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Here's what clients actually did:

  • Made the key decisions they'd been circling for months
  • Stopped micromanaging and let the team step up
  • Set boundaries with clients and got more respect, not less
  • Stopped working until 2am and gave the day a clear end
  • Turned a fog of options into one concrete direction

Where you take it is yours.

Practicalities
Can my company pay for this?

Often, yes. Many companies have a budget for leadership development. I'll send you a one-pager to share with HR or your co-founders.

Is it confidential, even if my company pays?

Yes. What you say stays between us. Your company gets invoices, not session notes. I follow the ICF Code of Ethics.

Your move.
