WHY
Why it is key to work with decision makers so they become the best versions of themselves in these times of uncertainty and rapid change.
We are living in a world of uncertainty and rapid change.
Our social, economic, technological, and cultural frameworks are shifting rapidly and being redefined. Our world continues to become more asymmetric. Our clients’ expectations and behaviors are more unpredictable. Our people and teams are emotionally weary and more worried about the future. Our business ecosystems are tensioned. We are rethinking our business architecture, models, and strategies.
A set of unique factors and events are generating high levels of uncertainty and introducing new variables and complexities into individual and team leadership, management and decision-making processes.
The global business environment, the very unstable global geopolitical environment further tensioned by the invasion of Ukraine and the war in Gaza, the continuous redefinition of the European model, the increased political, social and economic instability in many of the world’s regions, the tensions and adjustments in global supply chains, are but a few of the critical core issues impacting decision-making by CEOs, Senior Leaders and Executive Committees.
CEOs, Senior Leaders and Executive Committees are embracing levels of uncertainty, complexity, exponential change, immediacy and diversity that most were unprepared to deal and with the impact of these variables in their teams, organizations and society.
This is where I come in!
Luis Costa
Coach · Mentor · Facilitator
I work with CEOs, Senior Leaders and Executive Committees to produce results and become the best versions of themselves in environments of uncertainty and rapid change.
I am a tailor.
I put myself into your shoes by listening and engaging in a conversation about you.
I listen and learn to understand what keeps you up at night and what are your aspirations.
I value the uniqueness of each situation, so conversations are fluid and forever evolving. I am adaptive and responsive to situations and client needs and aspirations.
Through empathic listening, enquiry, support and challenge and endless curiosity, we move from the obvious through various layers to get to the root causes that truly require our attention.
I operate outside of the box and there’s no comfort zone. I challenge the norm and never conform to the obvious. I am multinational and multicultural and I believe my four decades of global experience generate unique insights and value.
It all starts with a conversation, a blank sheet of paper and an intention to grow, to shift to the next level, to gain greater awareness, to navigate uncertainty and rapid change more effectively, to improve decision-making, to transform results, to reshape…
My role is to help you understand where you and your team are, clarify and align your goals and aspirations, design a road map and a mine map to achieve them, and support you to execute sustainable solutions.
This is how we focus on you, your team and clear, simple and agile results!
HOW
How I tailor my approach to each person and team in unique ways to produce sustainable results.
