  Adriana Giorgica

  Adriana Giorgica

  As an Executive Coach I support individuals to achieve success, whatever success looks like to them, by overcoming their own limitations, understanding what are they driven by and helping them align to their ultimate purpose. My background is in business and I am qualified to the level of an MBA. I have been running my own business for the last 10 years which helped me to understand the challenges that an employer faces. Over the last years, I have been coaching employees and managers from different sectors and companies around the world and what I have discovered was that, most often the battle is given inside ourselves rather than the outside. In our journeys towards success, we strive to close the gap between who we are and who we want to become. How about yourself?
