Hi, I'm Vasilisa.

Some clients know me as Lisa. I'm an Emotional Intelligence & High Performance Coach (PCC, Master Coach ICI) and a Brainz Magazine Executive Contributor. I believe in the unlimited power within each of us. I help high performers and leaders step into their greatness: uncover their hidden talents, use their emotional intelligence, and build careers and lives that are aligned with their gifts and truly light them up.

My own search began after I moved to Poland, with a question I couldn't shake: "Why am I unhappy if everything is OK?" I had the job, the new country, the life that looked right. Something underneath didn't. A copy of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now started me down a road that led to studying psychology, and eventually to coaching.

Over the last seven years I've held more than 3,000 one-to-one sessions. I've also trained as an Emotional Intelligence Coach, a High Performance Coach and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, and earned diplomas in the Psychology of Transformation and Transformational Coaching. I've lived and worked across several countries and careers, mostly in startups and my own business, so I know what it's like to keep reinventing yourself and still carry the same pattern into every new chapter.

That's the core of my work, The Self-Leadership Method. People usually try to change their environment: a new job, a new city, a new plan. But a new environment without inner change means meeting the same problem in a different place. So we start inside, in three phases:

• Uncover, from confusion to awareness: we find the real obstacle, not the one you've been trying to fix.
• Transform, from awareness to action: we turn that obstacle into forward movement.
• Integrate, from action to your own playbook: what you've learned becomes the way you lead yourself.

Alongside one-to-one coaching, I run emotional intelligence and leadership trainings for organisations (clients include HEINEKEN Business Services Poland), and I co-host the Synergy podcast about people, systems and everything in between.

If you're not sure where to start, try The Real Problem, or book a free 30-minute discovery consultation.

I write for high performers and leaders who are ready for more and keep getting pulled back to an old version of themselves. The articles help you get better at:

• Self-leadership: noticing the patterns that run you, and choosing differently.
• Emotional intelligence: understanding what you feel and responding instead of reacting.
• Inner clarity: finding what's underneath when everything looks fine but doesn't feel it.
• Conscious communication: people-pleasing, feedback and the conversations you've been avoiding.
• Career & calling: what you actually want next, and allowing yourself to go after it.
