You’re not a bad leader. You just haven’t done the work that makes leading feel natural.
You feel like
Running from meeting to meeting, wondering if anything you say actually lands
Busy all day but not moving the needle, and you know the difference
Overwhelmed and quietly terrified someone will notice you’re improvising
Surrounded by your team and still feeling like you’re doing this alone
Freezing up or overreacting in the moments that matter most
And you want to
Walk into any room and feel like you belong there. Not because of your title, but because of who you are
Get people genuinely excited about where you’re going, not just compliant, but truly on board
Navigate uncertainty without falling apart and help your team do the same
Stop letting old patterns like self-doubt, need for control, or the urge to prove yourself run the show
Move from doing everything yourself to leading with intention. And get your time back!
How does working with a leadership Coach look like?
We will go deeper than you are used to with other coaches. We look at what is causing the friction, self-doubt or anxiety and fundamentally shift the pattern for you to feel free and powerful.
We will focus on key areas for your leadership development:
We start by analyzing your surface behaviors and symptons. Taking the time will help you understand and spot early signs when things go sideways on a daily basis.
We look for the underlying causes. That could be part of your upbringing, (mini)trauma that shaped your behavior or other pieces that influence how you show up as a leader unintentionally.
Then we develop your unique leadership style by getting clear on what your limiting beliefs and trauma informed behaviors are, vs. what is authentic and 100% you.
This is where leading others, your team and your business meet your personal development. If you break through a ceiling, your company will level up too.
Because the leader you want to be is already in there. You just need someone to help you get out of your own way.
Everything starts with getting honest about where you are. Not the LinkedIn version, the real you.
Who are you as a leader? What do you actually stand for? And what trauma patterns are running the show?
We’ll dig into all of it. Sometimes that means looking at old stuff that’s been quietly holding you back. Not to dwell, but to clear the path toward the kind of clarity that doesn’t move when the pressure does.
Once you know who you are as a leader, it starts showing up everywhere. In how you speak, how you hold space in a meeting, how you handle pushback.
You’ll stop performing confidence and start feeling it. Not the loud, dominant kind. The quiet kind with calm authority. The kind that comes from knowing exactly who you are and being okay with all of it.
That’s the presence people notice. And it changes everything.
Here’s where it all comes together. The clarity, the confidence, the self-awareness show up in how you make decisions, how you navigate conflict, how you delegate without micromanaging.
You’ll build better relationships with the people who matter. You’ll have harder conversations with less drama. You’ll lead without constantly fighting yourself.
Not because of some magic trick. Because you did the work.
And let’s be honest: you want this to change. Not in a year. Now. So get an expert in your corner to make it happen.
“Miguel has helped me to find the confidence, the right tools and the courage to improve in my managerial position in my startup. With his friendly, challenging and insightful coach appraoch, he helped me to navigate through hard moments in my life and my career, and to handle anxiety and stress related to my job. I would warmly recommend Miguel!”
One of my previous employers was generous enough to offer me coaching sessions with Miguel. And that was the best career advice I ever get in my life. Every session was just an eye-opening experience on how to overcome difficulties and grow. After these sessions I feel that I became a better version of myself. I highly recommend Miguel for his professionalism, personal attitude and experience..
“Through the coaching with Miguel I got to know myself better and find simple ways to move out of my comfort zone. It enabled me to show up more with my team and stakeholders and to work on my personal and professional development. I feel ready and confident to go out in the world and achieve much more. Working with Miguel was enormous fun and I can recommend him 100% as coach.”
Leadership Coach FAQ’s
Every client brings something different, but here are the things that come up most:
“My team isn’t aligned and I don’t know how to fix it.”
“I need to have a hard conversation and I keep avoiding it.”
“I just stepped into a bigger role and I’m quietly terrified.”
“I’m overwhelmed and I don’t want to burn out.”
“I’m great at the work, but the people side is draining me.”
If any of these sound like you, that’s exactly what I help with.
Leadership coaching is personal development with a business context. You’re growing as a person AND as a leader, and the two are inseparable.
I work with you on the internal stuff (confidence, patterns, self-awareness) and the external stuff (communication, team dynamics, stakeholder management) at the same time. Because in practice, you can’t fix one without the other.
If you want someone to hand you a playbook, a consultant or mentor might be a better fit.
But if you want to understand why you keep hitting the same walls, why delegation feels impossible, why conflict shuts you down, why success still doesn’t feel like enough, then coaching is the way to go.
I don’t give you the answers. I help you find the ones you actually trust.
A professional leadership coach is somebody that guides you in finding answers to your specific leadership challenges. Usually, you will find your own answers, with some direction and frameworks or best practices from your coach.
A professional coach has professional experience, a solid education, and a specific and extensive coach training. They probably also have a solid understanding of basic concepts in psychology and trauma healing.
That fully depends on you of course. But to make it a bit easier, I often see these outcomes that my clients find valuable:
- Reaching personal goals and having a clear path forward
- Understanding themselves and their patterns better
- Feeling confident to speak their mind
- Knowing how to communicate better and provide feedback that lands
The classic list includes authoritative, democratic, coaching, visionary, servant, and transformational leadership. In practice, no one fits cleanly into one.
Most founders borrow from several, and usually default to whichever style their survival patterns pulled them into, not the one that actually serves their team. My coaching helps you notice which style is running the show, and build the flexibility to lead differently when the moment calls for it.
Everyone talks about communication, delegation, and decision-making. Those matter. But they’re symptoms, not causes.
The deeper skills are self-awareness (knowing what you’re doing and why), emotional regulation (not flying off the handle under pressure), and the ability to hold discomfort long enough to make good calls. The founders who lead well aren’t the ones with the most frameworks. They’re the ones who’ve done the inner work.
Transformational leadership is when you inspire people to commit to a bigger purpose rather than just comply with tasks. It’s less about directives and more about presence, trust, and vision.
Most founders I work with want to be transformational leaders. They just haven’t built the internal stability to actually do it. That’s where coaching comes in.
