Executive coach & Transformational leadership coaching for change-makers
TOGETHER WE CAN DRIVE THE CHANGE YOU DEEPLY DESIRE!
Let's Ignite your Why, Refine your What, Master your How
Hi there,
I'm Marilena Timotheou, a Transformational Leadership Coach and Change Consultant for Women and Impact Leaders. I specialize in supporting and empowering leaders to not only better manage but thrive through any transformation they need to drive, whether that is in their teams, organisation, a community or a larger system.
My Philosophy
The level of meaningful change we can drive in the world is determined by our own level of awareness and consciousness. I believe with all my being that each person has their own gift to offer to the world and our biggest challenge and opportunity in life is to truly see and embrace who we authentically are so we can enjoy and share our gift to the fullest.
Throughout my years of mentoring and coaching, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing leaders—once labelled by themselves or others as "mediocre," "low performers," "failures," or even "lost"—transform into who they were always meant to be. This transformation creates a ripple effect, impacting their lives and those around them, as they strengthen, orient, and share their best selves with the world, driving positive change.
My WHY
We are undeniably at a pivotal moment in history, where dramatic changes are essential to safeguard a flourishing future for all. We need courageous, creative, and ambitious leaders to guide this change and inspire as many as possible to take part.
Navigating change isn’t easy, and nobody can do it alone. That’s why I’ve made it my life mission to support leaders by first optimizing, streamlining, and aligning their resources, human capital, and processes toward a clearly defined objective—while simultaneously working with leadership to shape a mindset that is open, ready, and capable of leading transformative change. This opens up a space for extraordinary creativity, vision, and collaboration. Together, we navigate the process of going beyond the ordinary and take leaps toward driving profound, lasting change.
As an ex-female founder and leader in tech, I understand how challenging it can be to find and unleash your authentic voice and leadership style when few women have walked the path before you. But I also know how rewarding and powerful it is when you connect with your inner purpose and lead with authenticity—it can transform you and your team.
What I Bring to the Table
Whether working with clients on an individual, team, or organizational level, my strategic, operational, and personal experiences as an entrepreneur (in both tech and non-tech startups), Head of Product, Open Innovation Consultant for multinational corporations, and Employer Branding specialist enable me to take a holistic, systemic approach. This approach allows us to co-create a powerful relationship, connecting the dots, navigating complexities, and uncovering the deeper truths and answers that will make the greatest impact on you, your team, and the change you seek to drive.
My years of experience in early-stage startups and Product Management help me guide leaders and leadership teams to develop agile, growth-oriented mindsets and processes that foster resilience, flexibility, balance, and humility. This allows you to stay focused and lead successfully through uncertain times.
My professional training in Leading Transformational Change equips me to help leaders build, communicate, and lead a robust, viable change strategy for their team, company, or larger system—one that aligns and energizes stakeholders to collectively drive change and achieve meaningful outcomes.
A Personal Note
Driving change is undoubtedly hard—I know this from personal experience. I overcame burnout while running my tech impact startup. Though it was one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced, it was an invaluable experience in my own journey of self-mastery, allowing me to now help other changemakers avoid or overcome burnout.
With my Professional Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring, accredited by the ICF and EMCC, and as a student of the International School of Self-Awareness for over three years, I bring proven tools and frameworks to help my clients unlock insights, move closer to their goals, and ultimately live more fulfilling lives.
