Claudia is a very professional, experienced coach with extensive corporate leadership background. I worked with Claudia over the past 12 months to improve my effectiveness in my leadership. I wouldn't be where I am right now without her support. She gave very pointed experience sharing and a variety of tools to reflect on approaches and improve them. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I would consult her anytime again.

I admire her professional and personal skills. She is a great team player, who always puts customers and people first. I learned a lot from her, and also enjoyed working with her doing many different and innovative projects and tasks.
Claudia is not only a great professional, but also an amazing human who always cares about her team, colleagues and customers. This is why during her years at Burberry she was able to achieve so much success.

Read MoreThe Future will be different. Command and Control worked well in a predictable world. Disruptive change is now becoming the norm in a more unpredictable world. Enjoy the change, enjoy the ride, value people more than tasks, support vs. advise, assume positive intent, be patient and vulnerable, admit to your short comings and mistakes. This makes you a great human being. Become the leader you wanted to have when you were climbing the ladder.
