Lead as Your Whole Self.
For multicultural leaders and senior executives ready to close the gap between who they are at work and who they actually are — and lead with full presence, clarity, and impact.
You may be here because something quietly doesn't add up.
You've built a remarkable career. People trust you. You deliver. And yet there are moments — in high-stakes meetings, on the drive home, in the middle of a conversation — when you wonder if the version of yourself showing up at work is truly, fully you.
Maybe you're exhausted by the constant calibration. The code-switching. The effort of being "professional" in a way that somehow requires leaving parts of yourself at the door.
Maybe certain patterns keep showing up in how you lead. The same friction, the same hesitation, the same invisible ceiling… and despite your best efforts, you can't quite see past them.
Or maybe you've arrived somewhere good, and you know there's something more: a clearer vision, a stronger voice, a way of leading that feels less like performance and more like expression.
If any of this resonates, you're in the right place.
What shifts through coaching
The inner work: We explore the beliefs, patterns, and heirlooms of your upbringing and culture that quietly shape how you lead. We surface blind spots, dissolve recurring blocks, and reconnect you with the strengths and values that are distinctly, powerfully yours.
The practical work: We build the skills that make your impact visible — a compelling vision, an authentic leadership voice, the ability to give honest feedback without losing the relationship, and the confidence to navigate promotions, transitions, and complex dynamics with intention.
As this work deepens, clients find themselves leading with a presence that is unmistakably their own. Not a more polished version of who they thought they should be. The real thing.
“I’m so grateful for my coaching sessions with Paula. It has been an insightful journey and through it, I have come to see myself as the leader I already am.”
-Beatriz, Director, Fortune 100 Company
How we work together
Every engagement is tailored to you. Sessions are grounded in deep listening, honest challenge, and genuine care for your growth — not just as a leader, but as a whole person.
Our work may include:
One-to-one coaching sessions (in English or Spanish)
CliftonStrengths® assessment and debrief
Leadership Circle Profile 360 — the gold standard in 360-degree leadership assessments
Somatic and mindfulness practices to support embodied, nervous-system-aware leadership
I've coached hundreds of executives and leaders across Fortune 500 companies, NGOs, nonprofits, and international development organizations. I bring the rigor of a Harvard-trained economist, the depth of a PCC-credentialed coach, and the embodied awareness of a restorative yoga teacher and iRest meditation instructor.
If this resonates, the next step is a complimentary discovery call — a genuine conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
Kind words from clients
I learned something new about myself in every coaching session with Paula. Paula is an expert listener with great insight, and she asks powerful questions that generate the kind of aha moments that will give you chills! Through coaching with Paula, I have gained a fresh self-awareness that will help me move forward in a way that better aligns with my strengths, values, and desires.
-Tracey, CEO, USA
Paula has a unique talent in bringing the CliftonStrengths® results to life! The difference between me reading through the results and sitting down with Paula to understand them was astounding. She used her deep knowledge of the test and skill to translate the report through the lens of who I am and my goals. My results went from being impersonal to very tailored advice and guidance for the next step in my career.
