Sofia is a superb executive coach! She takes the time to understand where you are in your professional journey and helps craft manageable goals. She is responsive to questions and intentionally creates a pathway that is tailored to one's needs. I worked with her on obtaining a new CEO role that matches my values and purpose. She helped me through every stage of the search and interview process with concrete recommendations, challenging questions, useful exercises, and LOTS of positive affirmation. Sofia is the consummate professional and true excellence in coaching. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Pertuz creates space for truth and reconciliation. She constantly challenged me to reframe obstacles and assume the power that I possess. Her action-oriented approaches and "naming what needed to be named" provided affirmation. It was clear that she did her homework in advance of discussing mine and each session was tailored to meet my needs. Her flexibility and pause maximized our time and intention together. I highly recommend her if you are seriously interested in moving to your next!

Dr. Pertuz's brilliance and skilled coaching have been transformational for me. I connected with Dr. Pertuz after being a finalist for several roles that didn't result in offers. With Dr. Pertuz's guidance, I was able to tighten up my interviewing skills and develop ambitious professional goals that were critical in being a successful candidate for the next leadership role that I applied to. Dra. Pertuz provided a trove of resources to help with my transition once I started a new role. Her wisdom and pointed follow-up questions were exactly what I needed to overcome a hurdle that prevented me from achieving the next chapter in my professional career. She also nudged me to increase my social media presence as a way to elevate visibility of my service to others. Dr. Pertuz is talented, wise, and driven to help others. If you are looking to level up in your career, reach out to Dr. Pertuz! She will share insights that will deep your work and give you the tools to reach new heights.
