A Coaching Model Created by Katia Melazzi
(Executive & Leadership Coach, SINGAPORE)
Background
I have always been an enthusiastic advocate for women’s leadership. After 17 years leading marketing & branding departments in MNC companies, I’ve decided to stand up for a higher purpose and support women’s empowerment.
That’s why some years ago, after my last international move, I have embarked on a new journey with a couple of non profit organizations.
Now, I am leading a committee of passionate and committed volunteers to support Tabitha Foundation and Nokor Tep Society – two sustainable non profit organizations that aim at lifting underprivileged Cambodian families out of poverty.
In addition, I serve for PrimeTime, Business and Professional Women’s Organization where I am in charge of supporting KeyNote – Asia’s Women Speakers that is a program developed to bring more diversity on public speaking stages around Asia.
Today, I am much more in tune with myself and my authentic values. As I am completing my ICA journey, I am eager to start the next chapter of my life bridging my diverse experience into coaching.
My Niche
In my coaching, I target women facing different kinds of life transitions.
I am passionate about helping women in international moves who may feel intimidated by the change – especially when they have children in tow or they are the main breadwinner in the family thus making the relocation even trickier.
I also like supporting women in transition in their professional life during career changes whether they are starting a new journey, stuck in their job and thinking of stepping out of their current position or when re-entering the marketplace after a gap.
Why I focus on transition?
The truth is, transition is the place where the magic can happen and we are in between two lands. The land you are leaving which is still your comfort zone, thus tempting you to go back…even when you understand you are not developing and growing anymore.
On the other side, the new land is full of opportunities, promises and possibilities along with uncertainty, discomfort and challenges.
Transition is where you can go deeper (sometimes force to do that) and explore how to leverage your passions to become the most authentic version of yourself in the new land.
I enjoy partnering with women in transition to define their new vision and ultimately create their new voices and write their stories by:
