Flourishing Work Life

Flourishing at work and in life is about feeling good and functioning effectively in your current context, guided by your values.

Flourishing is not a goal but a personal and professional journey that includes ingredients such as curiosity, resilience, vitality, action, and a desire to learn. It resembles more a spiral journey, where one takes an active stance in their life, looks inward with curiosity, dreams, experiments, acts with purpose, changes, and then reflects again, continuously weaving their path guided by their values.

Hello! Welcome!

I am Elena Stepanova, PhD in Psychology, Systemic Executive Coach, Change Facilitator, mother of two treasures, and passionate about translating research into practical resources for everyday life.

I am a change facilitator.

I help people with big dreams and aspirations during life or professional transitions to work in a way that nourishes them personally and professionally. I use internal inquiry and coaching to create a life vision aligned with their values, accompanying them on the journey of self-discovery and gaining clarity about their next steps. I particularly enjoy supporting professional women who are mothers on their transformation journey.

I do this based on more than 18 years of experience working in personal development and well-being in organizational, educational, and social contexts, as well as 13+ years as an executive coach and extensive academic experience. I also apply a powerful tool – the B5-Plus Personality Inventory methodology – to help people “match to thrive” with their work environment.

I have worked with leaders from a wide range of companies, including Boehringer Ingelheim, Safran Group, Amadeus, TetraPak, Telefónica, Shiseido, UNDP, L’Oréal, Henkel, ERSTE, HP, Amadeus, Google, among others.
MORE ABOUT ME

MY WORK

COACHING 1-1

I support my clients during life and professional transitions. During our sessions, I create space for them to find their way to flourish at work, navigate professional, relational, and life changes, drawing on their strengths, values, and aspirations.

TRAINING

Through my workshops, based on positive psychology and visual thinking, I foster a space for self-discovery so that participants can better understand their current life situation, explore their challenges, and overcome them with new resources.

VISUAL

Through visual facilitation, I give shape to my clients’ metaphors, ideas, and challenges. I use visual tools to support presentations, trainings, and meetings, creating greater mental clarity, capturing key ideas, and summarizing the sessions.

Those who have worked with me say…

“I was truly impressed and had great experience working with Elena in the area of Executive Coaching. I was her coachee in the EXPOSURE program (Global Leadership Program). With her high emotional intelligence, change management, and experienced executive coaching skills, I really enjoyed and gained valuable feedbacks to work out on my areas of improvement. The most important thing and I think it was one of the key success drivers of Elena is her exposure/interaction with me. She did create a safe and open environment and I felt very relaxed to discuss with her in my one-on-one coaching session. Having her as my executive coaching, I had developed myself and met my objective.”
Pattama Wisetsutthichai, Human Resources

“Elena came into my life when I was transitioning back from my maternity leave. The sessions with her were absolutely key for me to get my confidence back to continue showing up and grow my business while juggling motherhood. Her approach is so close and I really connected with the way she illustrates the sessions. It’s been exactly the type of clarity- on paper – that really works for me. Visual support for my thoughts and mental support for my doubts. Thanks, Elena for walking by my side this year:)”

Anne Pirkkanen, Founder, Helping Humanize Communication in Tech
“Elena is an excellent coach. She helped me during the initial period at my new job to position myself with my new supervisor and team. She gave good tips in difficult situations and helped me resolve the situation to my advantage. She is a good listener and I felt has a toolbox of recipes for nearly any situation. I fully endorse her as a coach for personal growth, conflict resolution, and career development. ”

One day I thought, “There are so many things to learn and implement! It would be just wonderful to have a place to learn, recharge, open your mind, and find resources to live fully every day.” With this idea, years later, THE HUB was born.
