What Claudia helps with

Who Claudia works with
Claudia works with successful leaders who have been promoted and are delivering, yet feel their confidence has not kept pace with their role. Many are strong experts or hard workers who now need to lead through others. They often feel unsure of their leadership style and get little feedback as they move up.
How Claudia works
Claudia teaches frameworks and a model for how your own mind works. She does not use motivation as the main tool. She treats the struggle as an identity transition, from expert to leader. The work focuses on letting go of thinking patterns that once helped and now limit your leadership. Clients can start with a free initial consultation.
Background and qualifications
Claudia spent nearly two decades in finance. She worked for ten years in Capital Markets at Citi. She then set up and ran the Asia office of a global hedge fund. Through those years she managed chronic anxiety and panic attacks while still delivering at work. Coaching changed that for her. It gave her frameworks and a model for her own mind. That experience led her to start her own coaching work with leaders.
