Everyday leadership for leaders who want more than performance

The Quiet Questions

Keep scrolling
“I no longer know who I am.”
“I don’t know what I want — I just know it’s not this.”
“This can’t be all there is.”
“I have no one to talk to openly.”
The Truth
You’re smart. Successful. On paper, life looks good.
But inside? It feels empty.

Do you ever feel guilty for wanting more?

You’ve built the career, the team, the results.
So why does it leave you drained instead of alive?

Deep down you know: this can’t be all.
But you’re no longer sure what you want.

Maybe a smarter way to lead.
A better way to live.

What if you didn’t have to choose between performance and joy?
What if leadership meant impact you actually love living?
What You Really Need
You don’t need fixing. Or another framework.
You need space.

A space where nothing is too much, too weird, too irrational, or too tender. Where you can finally say what you’ve been holding back.

That’s what I offer.

Not a program. Not a plan.
A relationship.

A mirror. A refuge. A fire starter.

Where your wildest vision isn’t too much — it’s finally heard.
Where your truth doesn’t need proof — it just lands.

And in that kind of space? Something shifts.
What Changes
You speak out, even when it’s uncomfortable — and people listen. Out of respect.

Your vision sharpens.
Work becomes play.
Strategy becomes expression.

You stop grinding. You start flowing.

And your team shifts too — not because of a new system, but because you lead by example, not performance.

Beliefs I Hold

These are the truths I bring into conversation with every client.

Self-awareness
If you can’t read yourself, you can’t lead others. Period.
Joy matters
Success without joy is failure. Competence without joy is a trap.
Real connection
Small talk never changed the world. Real conversation does — especially when it’s uncomfortable.
Commitment
Presence beats performance. The leaders who stop pretending create the greatest impact.

Ways to Work With Me

Here are the main ways to work with me.
Most of my clients start here, but your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

If you don’t see yourself in these options, we’ll create what you need.
The Spark
High-energy talks & workshops designed to ignite honest conversation.Perfect if you want inspiration that wakes people up and gets them talking. (60–90 minutes)
The Threshold
A first real taste of coaching, 1:1 or in small groups.Short-term engagements for those ready to go deeper, test the waters, and begin shifting from performance to presence. (3–6 months)
The Return
A long-term partnership. We begin with your work, your pressure, your current path and return to what’s true.This is for leaders who want more than a quick fix.  (12 months)

What Our Work Looks Like

01
Radical Clarity
You can’t lead others if you can’t see yourself.
We cut through the noise to find what really matters — where you’re pretending, what drains you, what drives you.
02
Reclaim Your Energy
Strategy without energy is useless.
We uncover the patterns keeping you stuck in overdrive and shift you into leading from flow.
03
Design Your Way Forward
Success on paper isn’t enough. Together, we redraw your map — aligning ambition with joy, performance with presence.
04
Lead Boldly
This is where insight becomes impact.
You lead without the mask. Boldly. Clearly. And others follow

About Me

Hi, I’m Romana.

I work with executives and founders who look successful on paper, but inside, feel the weight of always holding it together.

For more than a decade, I’ve been in the rooms where decisions are made: first as an HR Business Partner in the automotive industry, later as a coaching partner to leaders across Europe.

Here’s what I’ve learned: leadership without self-awareness doesn’t work.

Yes, I’m a coach. But what defines my work isn’t the title, it’s the relationship. My clients trust me because we go where most conversations stop. Together we strip away the pretending, face the hard truths, and build a way of leading that actually feels like theirs.

Because the leaders who change the world aren’t the ones only performing. They’re the ones who come home to who they are. And lead from there.
