Testimonials

My coaching sessions with Pilar have been one of the most impactful professional development experiences I’ve had. From the start, she created a space that was both challenging and supportive, encouraging me to reflect not just on what I do, but how I think.

​

A powerful insight came during a discussion on decision-making and communication. I’ve always seen myself as a data-driven leader, but Pilar gently challenged that, leading to a deeper exploration of how even evidence based approaches carry subjectivity. She helped me see how my framing, though grounded in data, reflected my own assumptions. That shift helped me move from asserting a position to inviting dialogue, leading to a more collaborative and sustainable outcome.Through feedback, I learned to balance clarity with curiosity, especially in high-stakes or cross-functional settings.

 

What sets Pilar apart is her blend of strategic insight and emotional intelligence. I would recommend her to any senior leader looking to deepen their impact, challenge blind spots, and grow with intention.

VP, Client Services Leadership

Pilar is an amazing coach who has the ability to put you at ease very quickly. Pilar creates the perfect balance of support and challenge; providing the space to unpack my often very tangled and messy thoughts whilst gently keeping me on track and focused towards my goals. I have worked with Pilar over several months and in that time she has coached me on a number of areas to support my personal and professional development .

 

Whenever I felt 'stuck' or could not see the wood for the trees, Pilar's excellent listening, reflecting back and thought-proving questions would give me the clarity I needed to move forwards. Pilar’s sessions also challenged me to think differently and she has the innate ability of helping you to go deeper and address issues you didn’t know were holding you back. Through working with Pilar I have developed so much more confidence in myself, gained clarity of vision and developed a much deeper awareness of myself and have the motivation to move forwards with optimism.

 

Pilar is a skilled coach and I would highly recommend. 

HR Coach and Coach/Mentor

I worked with Pilar on a life coaching session that was spread throughout few months.

 

We focused together on improving certain areas of my personal life and I was setting my goals for each session with the help of Pilar's guidance. Her way of work and her assistance were very helpful in terms of my initial goal of improvement.

 

This session has helped me with gaining a better understanding and a different point of view on certain subjects. I truly enjoyed working with Pilar and creating a long-term sustainable improvement in my personal life.
