About
Merlinder Orjela
I am currently an ICF PCC accredited executive, leadership and transitions coach with an emphasis on: emotional intelligence, resilience, change, wellbeing & DE&I. I support people moving forward, improve their lives and achieve goals. I really enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and seeing them progress and develop.
I love learning and have an educational background in business, coaching, project management, nutrition, mediation (conflict resolution), mindfulness and yoga teacher trainings. Prior to coaching I worked in HR and Project Management for the biotech industry, including start-up departments and companies.
I believe in creating space to reflect & understand, simplifying the complex and prioritizing what is important.
My coaching style could be described as focused on clarity, awareness and focus. My intention is to support others in going further.
I am also an ICF MCS (ACC & PCC) and certified mentor coach (CMC) which focused on coaching skill and ICF competencies, have completed the ICF PCC assessor training and ACC BARS, and love to work with and develop coaches.
