Executive & business coaching

Simona Breen

An hour of peace for the decisions that matter.

On the table: strategy and growth

I coach business owners, CEOs and senior leaders. I’ve worked in creative industries and led teams in large international organisations in retail and FMCG. I managed strategy and marketing projects at Lidl, headed marketing at BILLA, ran change management at Dentsu and was CMO at Creative Dock. We meet in person or online, at a frequency we agree in advance.

  • See what comes first – and what can wait
  • Know what drives you – and what drains you
  • Notice when you’re running on autopilot
  • Turn thinking into concrete next steps
Services

Coaching for you – and your team.

My main focus is regular 1:1 coaching. For companies, I coach leaders and run group sessions with teams – depending on what needs solving.

Main format

Individual coaching 1:1

60 minutes just for you – in a frequency we agree upon in advance.

For business owners, CEOs and senior managers. Some things you can’t talk through with anyone at work – here you can, with someone who understands business, doesn’t judge you and has no stake in your company. We look at strategy and growth, leading people, overload and what’s next. What you say in a session stays between us.

  • Strategy & growth
  • Leading people
  • Manage overload
  • Motivation

Career and change

When your role or company is changing – or you want to start your own business.

Is your company restructuring, is a new position coming up, or are you thinking of going independent? We get clear on what you want, what’s holding you back and what to do first. I’ve switched industries several times myself – from agencies to retail to launching a new e-health platform.

  • Change of role
  • Going independent
  • Uncertainty

Coaching for companies and teams

When conflict holds a team back, or it has to adjust to a new person or a change.

For HR directors and owners looking for a coach for their leaders or the whole team. Depending on the brief, I coach managers one to one, work with the whole team, or combine both.

  • Team conflict
  • New team member
  • Company change
  • Group sessions
Topics

Does any of this sound familiar?

Six areas I coach in. They often overlap – we start with whatever weighs on you most right now.

About me

You don’t need to explain to me how a business works.

I started in advertising agencies in 1998 and later also worked on the client side. For eight years I led marketing and PR at BILLA, at Dentsu I was responsible for change and project management, and at BBDO Moscow I headed strategic planning for Mars and Pepsi. I know transformation and crisis communication from a leadership role, not from a textbook.

That means our sessions get straight to the point. I don’t hand you ready-made answers – you decide. I use my experience to ask about what really matters and to help you reach conclusions you can stand behind. I speak honestly and don’t avoid uncomfortable topics. I want you to leave every session stronger.

The faster everything changes, the more you need a moment to stop and decide where to go next.

Testimonials

What clients say about working together.

Simona helps me sort out my thoughts and get clear on where to take my business next. My business is unique and every day is a step into the unknown. I value her outside perspective and her practical suggestions about which clients might benefit from my services. Thanks to our conversations, I not only have a clearer picture but can also take concrete steps. When someone believes in you, everything gets a good deal easier.

Mia Svobodová

Owner of a marketing agency

I wanted to improve my performance at work and I felt low on energy in general. Simona helped me find sources of energy and enthusiasm, and that showed not only at work – the coaching greatly enriched my personal life too. Thank you!

Eva Legnerová

Psychologist

Simona is guiding me through a career change. Our sessions are relaxed and friendly, and although from the outside it might look like just an ordinary chat, her questions stay with me long afterwards. So I come away from every session with food for thought that keeps moving me forward. I also hugely appreciate her warmth and genuine interest – it’s clear she truly cares about my progress and wants to see real results.

Hana Petráková

Owner of a consultancy

With Simona I worked through things about my business that had been on my mind for a long time. She knows how to ask the right questions, and then you end up sorting a lot of it out for yourself. And sometimes that’s all it takes.

Coaching meeting space

When did you last think without interruption?

In a session you silence your notifications and spend an hour on what matters to you right now. We meet in person or online – always in a setting where no one judges you. We start with a short intro call that doesn’t commit you to anything.

Intro call

Before you decide, let’s talk.

A short online call to find out together whether coaching with me makes sense for you. It doesn’t commit you to anything.

  • You tell me what you’re dealing with
  • I explain how it works and what it costs
  • Everything stays between us
  • The next step is up to you
