Does This Sound Like You?
​​​You’ve achieved a lot in your professional life, but something inside still holds you back.​​​
-
You second-guess yourself, even after years of leading successfully
-
You have the expertise, but your leadership impact feels limited
-
You’ve lost the spark that once fuelled your drive and purpose
-
Your new leadership role feels heavier than you expected, and you're not sure how to carry it
-
Leading across cultures leaves you feeling misunderstood, despite your best efforts
​
The good news? ​You don’t have to stay stuck there!
​
If you’re tired of getting in your own way, this is your opportunity to try a new path, one where you feel more confident, have clarity and create lasting change.

Songül Balaban

I bring together two worlds: over 20 years of corporate and leadership experience in banking and consulting, and my work as an ICF-certified executive coach. I know first-hand the pressures and complexities of leadership, especially when balancing ambitious career demands with personal well-being.
Having worked and lived across cultures, I deeply understand the journey of expat professionals and executive women who strive for success while navigating self-doubt, self-confidence, or the weight of expectations.
As an ICF-certified Executive Coach (ACC), my style is intuitive, transformational, and impactful. I create a safe space where you can quiet the noise of your inner critic, see yourself more clearly, see challenges through a new lens and build the confidence to move forward.
My goal is to help you create sustainable change that brings both success and inner peace.​
What Others Experienced
" Songül has a very warm, supportive, empathetic style which makes it easy for the client to dive deep into topics quite rapidly.
​
She is an excellent listener who helped me hear myself very clearly.
She knows how to create space for thinking, and yet knows how to come back and ask the next question at the right moment to unlock the learning.
​I would highly recommend her to anyone ready to move forward with their topics!" ​
