Testimonials

"Working with Huria has been a privilege. She brings an exceptional ability to quickly navigate complex environments, understand the dynamics at play, and offer support that is both strategically relevant and deeply human. Whether the task has been to design and facilitate organizational change, support leadership development, or guide a team through challenging processes, her approach is always thoughtful, tailored, and grounded in genuine curiosity. What stands out most is her capacity to listen – not only to what is said, but to what needs to be understood. This enables her to create the kind of safe and reflective spaces where leaders and teams can engage in difficult but necessary conversations. Her versatility and flexibility make her an asset, able to meet partners exactly where they are and accompany them in moving forward with clarity and confidence."

Sara Eliasi-Swahn, Senior Specialist, the Folke Bernadotte Academy
"Huria supported my team and me over a period of two years while we were building up a complex collaboration network of six organizations involved in implementing a 25 million Euro development project across 15 countries. As a process facilitator, she was critical in creating a space where partner entities could build trusting relationships, tackle difficult conversations and set clear priorities for the way ahead. As a team coach, she helped my team strengthen its leadership competence among a highly diverse network of entities."

Mathias Steinebach, Programme Director at Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (giz)
"Huria has been an absolutely eye-opening coach for both me and my co-lead on Project Tres, Amanda. Huria has a unique gift for seeing what others miss. Her insights were remarkably subtle, yet they always landed completely on a blind spot for us. Following our sessions, we made some of the largest, most crucial decisions regarding our organizational path and strategy. What made her coaching so effective was the balance between deep strategy and practical direction. Each session concluded with clear, actionable next steps that easily broke down our priorities. As a small organization that can't afford to have a long list of to-dos, we appreciated that every session felt like a complete, high-impact activity. Beyond the project itself, Huria’s coaching has positively impacted the larger organizational picture, improved our relationship dynamics with team members in other countries, and helped us gain a deeper, clearer understanding of what is non-negotiable for our core team. We highly recommend her."

Carla Maria de Souza, Founder & Managing Director Project Tres, gUG
"Huria's coaching style demands active engagement and digging deep. If you want to make progress as a leader, I highly highly recommend working with Huria. Personally, I also really appreciated working with a powerful woman who has had significant personal and professional global experience. I believe that everyone has leadership potential whether they know it or not. Many of us suffer from imposter syndrome but fail to do the inner work to overcome it. I engaged Huria as a coach twice for a few sessions each time. I love to travel and think of myself as an adventurous person. Huria was a trusted guide on an exciting journey, the kind that encourages following your heart instead of a map, the kind that doesn't flinch when the unexpected happens disrupting carefully laid plans, the kind that confronts you with love when needed. Working with Huria enabled me to gain clarity on what I wanted. I also became aware of and started to confront some of my deepest fears. I've started to see leadership as a practice and my confidence keeps growing. Today, I look forward to the next leap in my skills, abilities and confidence level."

Veena Prasad, Program Director at Spark Northwest
"I engaged Huria as my coach during the first year in my role as Founding Director of the European Centre of Excellence to help me take stock of my new leadership journey. She guided me through the Leadership Circle process— a data-driven 360° leadership assessment. The Leadership Circle is an excellent tool on its own, but her mastery of this complex method, coupled with her empathy and skill in motivating thoughtful feedback made the process transformative and elevated it into a truly invaluable experience—one that continues to shape both my professional and personal life. I can recommend Huria without hesitation. Her remarkable talent for understanding people, offering support and challenge in equal measure, and leveraging her professional tools at the highest level is extraordinary. Partnering with Huria as a coach is money very well invested."

Dr. Volker Jacoby, former Director of the European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management (CoE)
"Huria is an amazing coach and facilitator. I have benefited from her skills in different contexts: she has worked with my team and provided individual coaching to me, both in periods of profound change. Huria unites in a unique way a sharp analytical mind and a high degree of empathy and creativity. This, combined with her very diverse, well sorted and continuously expanding tool box enables her to offer truly tailored support. Huria does not shy away from complexities! She navigates skillfully through the different layers while creating the space for clients to reflect on and identify priorities, purpose and values in moments of transition, rapid change, or even crisis. Huria is a true professional in her area. Her work is rooted in a strong belief in and passion for adult development, personal growth and meaningful, positive change. Coaching with Huria always enhances confidence, clarity and creativity. I have immensely benefited from coaching with Huria and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is managing transitions and navigating change, seeking personal and professional growth or striving to elevate their leadership in today’s fast paced, complex and uncertain context."
