I had the pleasure of meeting & building a relationship with Sonia as my coach during my time as a director at Ralph Lauren. Sonia is warm, friendly and instantly made me feel at ease which enabled us to focus on the areas of development quickly & successfully. Her coaching style blends both technical theories with speaking therapy & practical guidance.Digital coaching can be challenging to build a rapport and be vulnerable to lean into our development areas yet Sonia approach, communication methods & style of coaching made this both valuable, enjoyable & insightful experience.
Voices of Growth:
Real-life experiences of transformation through Coaching
Coaching is a journey of transformation — every path leaves a mark, a ripple that carries on through time.
The most authentic way to share its impact is through the experiences of those who have lived it.
From managers navigating change to professionals strengthening their leadership, each story reflects a unique journey of growth, antifragility, and awareness.
In the words of those who have experienced it, you’ll find traces of real, tangible transformation.
These are stories of transformation — of challenges faced and new perspectives unfolding.
Be inspired by the voices of those who chose to evolve.
Adele Urquhart-Clare Senior Creative Services Director EMEA @Ralph Lauren
Elena BiancoHead of Legal Affairs - Mobility @EdenredI began this journey without really knowing where it would lead me. It was my first time working with a coach — someone I didn’t know and had never heard of.
I discovered a professional who truly understood me, who saw me without judgement, and who helped me find my own answers and build the right path for myself during a particularly difficult time.
It was a real pleasure to meet Sonia and a great privilege to work on myself with her by my side. She got to know me gradually, with gentleness and without intrusion; she understood what I needed without me having to say it, guiding me instead to recognise and express it. She helped me find concrete examples, pace my progress, stop procrastinating, and see things with greater clarity.
I wholeheartedly recommend this journey to everyone — whether or not you think you “need” it — because the best investment you can make is in yourself. And I recommend Sonia, because she has shown herself to be truly worthy of such an important role.
Lorena PelayoVice President @MastercardI had the pleasure of having Sonia as my coach for a period for 6 months. Working with her has been trans-formative, and has helped me to look at my career and my life differently. From the beginning we had a great connection, we were able to set smart(est) objectives and action plans. I highly recommend Sonia if you are looking to work on yourself at a deeper level and change your life. I had the pleasure of having Sonia as my coach for a period for 6 months.

Federica GabrielliDual-site Manager @Ralph LaurentThanks to her expertise, professionalism, and approach, Sonia quickly became an important point of reference throughout our journey together.
She didn’t know who I was, yet she immediately found the best way to communicate and connect — with both clarity and kindness. With her support, I learned to give myself permission to see situations from different perspectives, to ask the right questions, and to define clear goals and strategies.
She helped me understand myself better and approach seemingly difficult situations with greater clarity. I’m deeply inspired by this coaching experience — and by Sonia in particular.
I didn’t realise how much I needed a coach until I met her.
Thanks to Sonia, I now feel even closer to the person and professional I aspire to become.
