Meet Your Coach
I am an international professional, and it comes with challenges and gifts.
​
Let me unpack it.
​
Having lived on three continents and transitioned across multiple cultures, four languages (Russian, Latvian, Hebrew, and English), and several career paths, I have faced my share of challenges. The biggest one was feeling different, not fitting in – an outsider. First, my new host country’s languages had almost nothing in common. That meant that meaningful connections with my peers – on social and professional levels – were elusive. Next, cultural norms, food, traditions, and communication styles were left to interpretation and assumptions – a definite hit or miss there too. I needed a bridge, and I was the only one who could build it.
Testimonials
"Carmela is incredible. In just 30 minutes she was able to help me unlock a lot about myself so I can be a better leader, partner, and mother. I don't know many people who could do that in a half hour. Carmela immediately understood my pain points and addressed them at the root rather than a symptom. We still have a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to continue my partnership with Carmela.”

"Carmela provided me professional coaching for roughly 1 year, and it was a great experience. Our sessions together always helped me take a new perspective on my approach at work, and she gave me many tactics and learnings that I apply in my every day life. I truly feel like I have grown in the past year due to her coaching and I'm so very appreciative of it. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a leadership coach!”

"Carmela by far was the most impactful Coach I had the pleasure of working with of all 48 coaches in attendance. Her active inquiry skills coupled with her positive mindset reflected highly on her ability to help people become the best versions of themselves. I would hire Carmela for my coaching needs above any other coach in my network!"
