Stepping Out of Comfort Zone, this time outside the water!



After 7 incredible years with EY the time has come for me to embark on a new journey—one driven by purpose and passion with Out of Comfort Zone – Unlock Potential.My passion has become my true calling: Supporting organizations and individuals to reach peak performance through the power of positive and sports psychology, transformative coaching, nature-immersive experiences, and consulting.


Leaving EY is a scary yet necessary step for me to fully embrace my passion and purpose of helping others unlock their fullest potential. The world needs less fear and more courage, and I am committed to creating that possibility for others. Over the past 20 years, I've pushed beyond my limits, transforming pain into creativity and fear into a powerful ally. This journey hasn't been easy, but it has been undeniably worth it.


Let me tell you a little bit about what I have been working on for this past 2 years. I began offering coaching sessions to individuals who felt stuck and unsure of how to move forward in life. As an ICF-certified coach, psychologist and extreme athlete, I approach coaching holistically, addressing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects to create a comprehensive and empowering experience. Also, I bring a unique combination of positive psychology, extreme sports, consulting, and transformative coaching—with more than 12 years of strategic consulting experience—all to help organizations reach their peak performance.


My work expanded to include physical elements, particularly cold water immersion—a practice I personally embraced to overcome my own fear after experiencing hypothermia at 18 years old. Building on this, I developed Bootcamps designed to help people unlock their potential through various techniques that challenge both mind and body. These sessions have been well-received, particularly with inhouse sessions for companies, where teams have reported significant benefits after the Bootcamp.





Additionally, I've been delivering inspirational speeches on overcoming fear and achieving greatness, and I was honored to give a TED talk in 2023 on unlocking potential, which further fueled the growth of my business.


These 3 components: coaching, Bootcamps and Inspirational Speeches, have become the foundation of my growing business, which is named Out of Comfort Zone, because my objective is to help people develop and make magic happen in their lives by facing their fears and discovering that they can do far more than they ever imagined.


Now, as Out of Comfort Zone continues to grow, it demands more of my time and dedication. This is why I’ve made the difficult decision to leave EY and fully commit to my business. Stepping away from the security of EY is my personal leap out of the comfort zone—this time, not in the water, but in testing new limits and utilizing different skills. It’s time to live what I preach, and I’m ready for it.


So, if you are interested in unlocking your potential, ready to take a leap and live your passion, or need changes in your life, I’m here to support you in fulfilling your dreams!
