We offer two main types of support
Image and presence coaching which focuses on the impact a person makes both personally and professionally and is vital for personal development. It combines psychology, personal branding, and aesthetic guidance on the ‘covers’ to improve and manage an individual’s attitude, behaviour, communication, and impact.
Cross-cultural coaching which in essential for developing self-awareness in individuals and teams to build connection, understanding, and unity when working across cultures. By leveraging cultural differences, it can lead to better creativity and innovation and, in turn, enhanced organisational development.
What is different:
-
It is integrated and personal
Our process is not restricted to the use standard coaching methods which tend to focus on one state or challenge. The Image Ability coaching approach is integrated and designed to adapt to your needs and preferences. Assess your challenges holistically: we guide you to identify and explore your cultural orientation and abilities.
The nature of coaching with Daniela is determined by your personal or collective (team, organisation, project) needs. As a general guide:
Level 1 is driven by exploration around identity and purpose.
Level 2 facilitates getting unstuck from a situation which is hindering growth.
Level 3 of coaching integrates image and presence with cultural orientations and abilities.
Bespoke Cultural Audits cover both whole organisations and teams.

Why have image and presence coaching?
Evidence shows that your image can be an active ingredient in managing change positively, helping people think, feel and act differently: shaping how others view them positively. Almost all of your communication is based on image and appearance, and having confidence to be the best version of yourself is critical.
It all starts at the core of an individual – going beyond surface appearance and instead rooted in values, beliefs, personality, and self-perception. At Image Ability, we advocate self-discovery, and your ability to grow and develop a personal and professional presence that has impact.
Whether that’s organisational change, returning to work after a break, or changes in your health or hormones, it can leave you confused and anxious, which can affect performance at work as well as your wellbeing. How any professional feels about themselves, and the image they project to the outside world isn’t just the result of these changes, it can influence them profoundly.
