Founder, Lead First Coaching | Certified Executive Leadership Coach (ICF-PCC, BCC) | Leadership Development Expert | Keynote Speaker
About me
For the past 5 years, I’ve coached mid-management through C-suite leaders in 25+ organisations—Google, PayPal, Micron, Lockheed Martin, Roku, Epic Games, and more—helping them surface hidden blind spots, transform doubts into confidence, and co-create actionable strategies tailored to their personality, experience, and business goals. Results: 70% of my clients earn a promotion or expanded role within 12 months, and one founder boosted revenue by 30% in just six months after implementing a priority-management system. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “My professional presence has never been better thanks to Elena. She helped me master time management and elevate communication with leaders across our company.” — Traci Baumgarten, Centralised Operations Director, Equity Residential. My edge comes from over 20 years of leadership and business-building experience. I worked as a Software QA Manager at a Silicon Valley startup. I launched two businesses from scratch in Ukraine—a plastic window distribution company and a home goods retail chain—building sales teams and revenue pipelines from the ground up. I now act as a strategic thought partner, asking deep, powerful questions and sharing real-world perspective so leaders step into their power, inspire their people, and deliver results without burnout. 📖 Author of Mastering Leadership Workbook: Simple Strategies to Drive Communication Skills, Foster Goal Development, and Strengthen Mindset Executives I’ve coached include leaders from Google · PayPal · Micron · Lockheed Martin · International Monetary Fund · S&P Global + other Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups How I can help Executive presence & board-level communication Delegation mastery — free up time, empower your team Promotion & interview preparation (role-plays + narrative coaching) Mindset reset — overcome limiting beliefs & impostor feelings Strategic prioritisation systems that reclaim 10+ hrs per week Building high-trust, high-accountability cultures & leading through change Ways to work with me Single Strategy Session — intensive 45-minute call focused on one mission-critical challenge 6-Month Leadership Sprint — structured programme with fortnightly sessions, progress metrics, and on-demand support 1:1 Session — What to Expect Rapid 360° scan of your current leadership challenge One laser-focused mindset or behaviour shift you can apply immediately A custom action roadmap with a built-in accountability hook Written recap so insights translate into lasting performance gains Book your Intro session now to turn today’s leadership challenge into tomorrow’s breakthrough success.
