Transformational Leadership Begins Here
25+ years of global leadership experience helping executives lead with passion, integrity, and balance - without burning out like I did.
After more than two decades leading teams across multiple industries and countries, I learned the hard way that traditional leadership approaches often lead to one place: burnout.
I was that leader who thought working harder meant working better. Who believed that pushing through exhaustion was strength. Who sacrificed balance for results - until my body and mind said "enough."
That breakdown became my breakthrough.
Today, I help leaders like you discover what I wish I'd known those decades ago:
You can be an exceptional leader without sacrificing your well-being.
Are you leading at your braking point? The hidden costs of traditional leadership approaches.

The Hidden Cost of Wrong Hires
You've built something remarkable, but every bad hire feels like a step backward. Traditional interviewing techniques barely scratch the surface, leaving you wondering if that confident candidate will actually deliver results or become your next expensive mistake. Without strategic interviewing skills, you're essentially gambling with your company's future—hoping charisma translates to competence and cultural fit.
The reality: 73% of executives admit they've made hiring decisions they later regretted, costing SMEs an average of €47,000 per wrong hire.
*
The Chaos Behind Closed Doors
From the outside, your business looks successful. Inside, it's held together by heroic efforts and institutional knowledge trapped in key people's heads. Processes exist in fragments—some documented, most improvised, all dependent on individuals who could walk away tomorrow. Growth becomes your enemy because every new client or team member exposes just how fragile your operational foundation really is.
The bottleneck: Companies without systematic processes hit growth ceilings at predictable points—usually when the founder can no longer touch everything.

The Treadmill of Tactical Thinking
Your days blur together in a constant cycle of putting out fires and chasing short-term wins. You know you need a strategic vision, but between client demands and operational chaos, long-term planning feels like a luxury you can't afford. Meanwhile, competitors with clear strategies are quietly capturing market share while you're stuck reacting to whatever crisis emerges next.
The challenge: Without strategic clarity, even the most hardworking leaders find themselves building busy companies instead of valuable ones.
*
The Isolation of Leadership .
Success brought you to the top, but it also left you there alone. The higher you climb, the fewer people truly understand the weight of your decisions or the complexity of your challenges. You need someone who gets it—who can see your blind spots, challenge your assumptions, and help you unlock the next level of your potential without the politics or agenda that cloud internal feedback. .
The reality: Even the most confident leaders need a thinking partner who can match their ambition with objective insight.

The Leadership Paradox That's Killing Your Growth
You excelled as an individual contributor, but now you're responsible for getting results through others—and it's harder than anyone warned you. Your team looks to you for direction, motivation, and development, yet you're flying blind with outdated management approaches. The cost isn't just productivity; it's watching talented people disengage and leave, taking their potential with them.
The truth: 75% of people don't quit jobs—they quit managers who never learned how to truly lead.
*
The Learning Circuit Trap
You've sat through countless presentations promising transformation, only to return to work with a notebook full of theories and zero practical change. Most professional development feels disconnected from your actual challenges—generic solutions for generic problems. You need immersive experiences that address the whole leader, not just isolated skills, and deliver tools you can implement immediately. .
The gap: Traditional conferences inform; transformational experiences integrate learning into lasting behavioural change.
Our Offer - The Leadership Journey for Ambitious Minds
At Holistic Europe, we combine deep executive coaching with lifestyle transformation to help leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs realign purpose with performance.
Our signature offering is an exclusive leadership retreat in Madeira, designed for a maximum of five participants to ensure depth, privacy, and real personal impact.

But it doesn't end there.

Coaching by Someone Who's Done The Job
Targeted Search by Someone Who's Done The Job
With 25+ years of hands-on leadership across automotive, medical device, IT and consulting sectors, covering multiple functions from HR, Regulatory to Operations (Manufacturing, Quality, Engineering, Health and Safety) I bring something most search consultants cannot: the ability to assess what I've actually done myself.
5,000+ interviews using competency-based techniques and assessment centres
Multi-dimensional evaluation combining behavioral, technical, and situational assessments
Real-world scenario testing based on actual challenges you'll face in your industry
The bottom line: It's not about the firm's reputation—it's about whether your search consultant has the operational depth to identify candidates who can actually deliver results in your specific environment.
Ready to experience executive search where technical expertise meets proven assessment methodology?
I coach from experience, not theory.
Having managed manufacturing operations, I understand the pressure of production targets and quality demands
With regulatory and compliance experience, I know the weight of decisions that impact safety and certification
From engineering and quality leadership, I recognise the complexity of balancing innovation, delivery times and quality with operational constraints
Thanks to years in HR leadership, I understand the people dynamics that make or break operational success
I am talking about Real-world solutions based on challenges I've navigated myself; Industry-specific insights that generic coaches cannot provide; Battle-tested strategies proven in high-pressure operational environments; Credible mentorship from someone who's walked the same path.
Leadership coaching works best when your coach has actually led what you're learning to lead.
