Fully step into whatever is next for you!

Simona Gherasim

Every LEADER needs a trusted PARTNER!

Leading is lonely.

Crafting a bold vision and steering the course of an organisation can often feel like a solitary journey. As a leader, your unique perspective sets you apart, but it also means there are few who truly understand the challenges you face. Gone are the days of receiving unconditional support! Now, your peers, despite good intentions, are more likely to push you to your limits than offer a comforting hand.

Even your loved ones may struggle to fully grasp the weight of your responsibilities, leaving you to navigate the rough waters of leadership by yourself. Seems like a solitary road, but it doesn't have to be. Seek out fellow leaders who can empathise with your journey and don't hesitate to hire a trusted coach. Remember: you don't have to go it alone!

Hi, my name is Simona!

I come to you as a coach, facilitator and catalyst for growth.

I believe that life is about constant change and transformation; there is no standing still, only moving forward or backward. Leadership is no exception and I am here to accompany you to move forward, as smoothly as possible.

I've been coaching since 2007 and have achieved the highest level of ICF certification as a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and ACTC, placing me among the top 5% of ICF credentialed coaches worldwide. I am also an ICF registered mentor coach and a coach supervisor.

I coach, primarily, senior leaders who are facing challenges or have goals they aspire to achieve. Topics, commonly explored in my coaching sessions, involve navigating power dynamics, shaping organisational structure, managing various transitions, cultivating myriad of relationship with key employees, clients, board members, partners, creating stronger teams and a great workplace, prioritising self-care and addressing midlife challenges.

There are no miracles, it's the consistent work, despite setbacks, that moves my clients forward.

If what I share resonate with you, I encourage you to delve deeper into this website.

Voices of Leadership

  • “Simona was getting into the issues and coming to the crucial points immediately. Also she helped me to find a viable approach for my team challenges and coached the implementation successfully. She is highly experienced allowing to adopt to changing circumstances very quickly. It was a fun & great experience working with her”
    Senior VP, Head of Corporate Structured Finance&Capital, Germany
  • "I always tease Simona that I have made zero progress. However, I have been working with her for the past seven years, and our coaching process has become essential to me. It keeps me grounded, prevents me from going off track, and moves me forward. What I love most about the process is the authenticity, the magic, and the new perspectives it brings. I would never recommend her to anyone, just to ensure she still finds time for me :-) "
    Commercial Director, Romania
  • “Simona is an extremely effective and inspiring coach. She helped me overcome challenges in role transition. I now have great insight and tools to work with and feel well prepared and confident in my role and in facing any future challenges. I can’t think of anyone I would recommend more highly for those presently in a transition or rethinking their life direction.”
    Business Unit Manager, Middle East
  • “What I value most about working with Simona is her remarkable ability to quickly uncover hidden dynamics and reveal the entire system at play. Our coaching sessions have enabled me to see both myself and the system I am part of, transforming my approach to leadership, my professional life, and beyond. I am deeply grateful for her presence, warmth, and insights.”

Change is a captivating concept. We often believe it's something we can will into existence, relying solely on sheer determination to bring about the transformations we desire. However, the reality is that no amount of circumstances or concentration of willpower will sustain or overcome a lack of readiness for change.

The phrase "Feedback is a gift" is a common refrain, suggesting that feedback offers invaluable insights and opportunities for personal and professional growth. While well-intentioned, this sentiment oversimplifies the complexities of human interaction and individual experience.
