Hi there
My name is Sonia Gavira
Born and raised in the UK, but to Spanish parents who have kept me close to my Spanish roots and with a love of languages, food and culture, I consider myself a global citizen and proud of it!
Entrepreneur, PCC credentialed coach, mum and wife – all parts of who I am rather than what I do, and it keeps me busy and having fun.
I love business and have always believed that business and its leaders can be and should be a force for good.
I've been lucky enough to lead some amazing teams AND work with leaders in some of the biggest companies in the world as well as start ups and SME's. The most impactful thing that it's taught me is that the best leaders are leaders of people first.
It's also made me passionate about encouraging a leadership style where power AND compassion can live together, where caring AND profitability are inextricably linked.
So, why do I do what I do?
* Because I want more women leaders to be overtly ambitious rather than secretly...
* Because making a difference and having an impact shouldn't be about burnout, sacrifice and little return.
* Because there have to be inspiring role models of leadership that are about power and strength AND compassion and caring.
* Because I’m here to tell you that you can do it differently, do it your way AND be successful.
Our world needs leaders who do it differently and succeed.
Our world needs role models for the future. And I’m here to support you on the journey…
I believe YOU can change this world and make it better. And I'm here to help you... and to help you do it on YOUR terms, so that you can have the career AND the life that you want.

The first ever course I was sent on once I started work, was on an assertiveness course. I was a Commercial Management Trainee at Marks and Spencer and I was confused to say the least. I had always been seen as confident and I didn’t know what an assertiveness course…
Sonia has a great ability to meet you where you are, help you define with real clarity what it is you need and will supportingly nudge you along the way so you reach your definition of success. Having known Sonia for more than a decade, with her experience across multiple industries, countries and cultures, she is able to keep the coaching relevant and even injects some fun along the way. For me, one of the best investments I have made for myself.

Sonia helped me unlock the self-confidence and self-awareness I needed to take firm, effective action. This not only resolved the issue at hand, it unlocked the confidence I needed to push for a new role within the company. There is no doubt that Sonia’s guidance helped me achieve both results (conflict resolution and a career change). She is patient, insightful, thoughtful and honest and helps individuals unlock their hidden potential. I would highly recommend working with Sonia if you’re looking to bring your best self to light professionally.
