FROM ADVERTISING TO COACHING
​
Looking back, I realize that my career has always been about helping others to be their best selves. I worked for more than 25 years in management and direction positions in Brazil's main advertising agencies and communication companies. In all of them, my focus has always been on the human being behind the positions.
​
When I moved to China, where I lived for 11 years, I had to build a new identity as a woman (daughter, mother, and wife) and as a professional. From this sometimes-painful growth process, I directed my skills as a project manager, clients, and teams to a new career as a coach.
​
I am certified by the ICF, International Coaching Federation as a PCC; I am a member of MCI (Mento Coach Institute), and I obtained the following certifications:
-
Life & Career Coach – Sociedade Brasileira de Coach - Brasil 2015 - 2016L
-
Strategic Interventionist - Robbins-Madanes Center – US 2017
-
Advanced Relationship Coach - Strategic Intervention Center - US 2018
-
Cultural Orientation Framework Administrator - Rosinski & Company – China 2019
-
Mastery in Coaching & NLP Practitioner - Bali - Indonesia 2020
-
Neurocience for Coaching – Instituto Connectomus – Brasil 2021
-
PQ Program – Positive Intelligence – US 2021
-
Groups and Teams Coaching – Usercoach – Brasil 2022
-
Leading Culturally Diverse Teams – Deakin University – Austrália 2023
​
In this new career, which began in 2015, I accumulated more than 2,000 hours of coaching practice with expatriates of different nationalities, especially women, in search of greater clarity about themselves and their life decisions.
​
My great passion is writing! I am the author of the book "Como Morar na China sem Engolir Sapo nem Comer Cachorro", available on Amazon; I contributed for five years with a blog of one of the biggest newspapers in Brazil, and today I have my own blog called O Caminho das Pedras.
​
In China, I have been a volunteer for Promised Land, whose mission is to help Chinese children with mental disabilities, and for Captivating which work with poor girls from China, Nepal, and the Philippines.
​
I am currently living in Poland, in the beautiful city of Wroclaw.
