Dr. Sofia B. Pertuz, SHRM-SCP, ACC, CDE
“I am passionate about working with leaders who are inspired to achieve excellence and I believe my role as a coach is to help them gain the clarity and perspective, they need to reach their full potential. I am inspired by watching aha moments when coaching clients realize something about themselves that we were able to uncover with the right mix of insightful questions and thoughtful reframing. I know firsthand that some leaders encounter personal and professional challenges as they navigate careers in what can be toxic work environments creating barriers to advancement. I show leaders with high aspirations that with preparation and research, these barriers can be circumvented or knocked down. My goal is to support professionals as they consider all possible pathways to best utilize their gifts and be well compensated for what they have to offer.
