How I work
I'm Sandra Gonçalves, an Internationally Certified Coach. I've worked in finance since 2008, with the constant challenge of leading teams, and it was precisely to bring out the best in each team member that I decided to invest in coaching training and certification.
I bring to coaching what I learned in real-world management: the balance between high standards and listening, the importance of clear goals and credible deadlines, and the understanding that a motivated team is always the most decisive asset of any project.
"Leading isn't about giving orders. It's about creating the conditions for each person to bring their best, and seeing that reflected in the results of the whole team."
Sessions are structured, pragmatic and action-focused. We work on real situations — a team in transition, a career goal, a stalled project — and define concrete, measurable steps to move forward.
