Meet Gabriela

Hi there –

I’m Gabriela, an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Master Certified Coach (MCC) with 20+ years of experience in strengthening teams, organizational development, and elevating awareness amongst leaders. I study the science of human behavior and how it plays a role in changing our daily lives by choosing to make small adjustments that deliver profound impacts. My interest is in elevating awareness to find the root causes of defensiveness and how you can consciously change your behavior to achieve higher personal performance.

I am an explorer of people. Open organizational culture starts with each individual. I facilitate culture formation and enable high performing teams and executives to tackle the walls we unknowingly build which limits their individual and team growth. My passion lies in the successes of my clients, as well as the corporate impact I’ve been able to achieve at major organizations such as Adobe, TopCoder, Appirio, Digital Hands, Griffin Concierge Medical, and Sighthound. 

My work focuses on finding the small recognizable behaviors you see in yourself as well as those we witness in public figures who are living fulfilled lives. By identifying the drivers behind those behaviors and dissecting the small habits those individuals use naturally, you can recognize the common thread in their strategies for living highly successful lives both professionally and personally.

I incorporate The Human Element® approach into my methodology. It is based on deep scientific studies resulting in a set of proven techniques and instruments that get to the heart of how to make transformative change. I ask my clients to continually “step into the power of the ask,” helping guide their journey toward deepened self: self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. I listen and engage with you, looking for areas where we can unchain negative-self talk from the psyche, unleash defensiveness, and withholdings. Through my own personal successes and challenges as a boss, colleague, employee, teacher, spouse, and mother, I’ve found a life-long path of personal growth as I coach others on the mastery of their own life. 

What if your daily intention is to live your most fulfilling life? I can help you get there: let’s set up a time to chat, soon!
