Welcome to Cortea! Cortea goes back to the Italian term of corteare which means to accompany someone in a life changing event. Cortea Coaching supports clients who are striving but would rather be thriving in transition and seek joy and fulfillment in their next stage. Going through major life transitions, whether at a professional or personal level requires awareness of who we are and how we want to be in this world. As a coach, I am committed to accompany my clients in their journey and help them clarify their goals and what is important to them for personal growth. With deep listening, insightful questions, somatic coaching techniques and humor, I create a safe space for my clients to clarify their intentions, explore possibilities as well as blind spots, and integrate new behaviors as they transition to the next level in their career or personal life.
Strategies for Thriving in Transition
Why next-stage transition coaching?
Are you facing a major transition in your personal or career development? Are you about to embrace a new leadership role, launch a second career, reinvent yourself by transforming a passion into a business, or retire your career while continuing to live your full potential?
Whether you are in the midst of major change, have started to develop a plan, or are still in limbo, transition coaching will provide you with essential insights and strategies to ease your journey to the next stage.
As your coach, I will keep you on track as you develop a clear vision of your desired next steps and provide you with assessments, tools and resources to help you implement a realistic and fulfilling plan. Your unique personality, profile, and circumstances will affect your transition, and we can work together to come up with a personalized methodology that works for you.
About Me
Throughout my career of over 25 years in international development, I have built extensive expertise in leading and managing change as a leader in complex and multi-cultural environments. My personal experience of transforming my passion for coaching into a business has given me first-hand insights into the challenges of transition and reinventing myself.
I am a ICF accredited coach and have completed training in psychology and the link between neuroscience and coaching. A strong believer in embodied practices I use mental fitness and embodied coaching techniques to address discomfort and resistance.
William Bridges Transition
William Bridges Transition refers to the psychological aspect of three distinct but at times simultaneous processes, i.e. the accepting of endings, experiencing an intermediate state or neutral zone essential for letting go, and finally embracing the onset of a new beginning.
