Executive Coaching
I work with executives and senior leaders who are done going through the motions—and ready to explore what else is possible. Whatever it is, we’ll find it together.
**Discretion and confidentiality guaranteed**
I work in Basel, in Switzerland, and online.
Take me to the following section:
IS THIS FOR YOU?
To step boldly into your next season.
You’re an executive or senior leader.
You’ve had an amazing career.
You’re at the top of your profession.
You’re great at what you do.
Your finances are solid.
From the outside, you should be one of the happiest people on earth, and yet…
Your energy and enthusiasm are down;
What used to fill you with meaning is not cutting it anymore;
And now you’re wondering if you really want to keep doing what you’re doing for another 15-20 years.
You know you need a change, but the golden cage you’ve built around yourself makes a move too risky, too scary, the cost too high.
So, you stay in your cage.
🧭 There’s another option though: exploration! 🧭
No one says you have to quit your job today, uproot your family, and go live in a yurt.
At the same time, unless you take the time to better understand what it is you’re yearning for, explore possible scenarios, and run small experiments, your only option is that golden cage.

🌿 I’m Dina—an executive and career coach based in Basel, with 25+ years of global experience across Pharma, the travel industry, the United Nations, and NGOs, including a 20-year senior career in Human Resources (HR) at Novartis & Roche.
Previous coaching clients span Pharma, Bio-Tech, Media & Advertising, Banking, SMEs, NGOs. I understand the world you’re operating in. And I have no interest whatsoever in cookie-cutter solutions.
LET’S CONNECT. WE’RE ONLY STRANGERS ONCE.
Together, we’ll dig deep into the challenges you are facing and uncover what truly matters to you, and we’ll identify the resources at your fingertips, including your own creativity and support networks.
My hope is that, at the end of our coaching together, you can see more clearly, feel much more connected to who you truly are, and as such, feel much more connected to those you lead and support.
HOW IT WORKS
A confidential safe space to talk through the things that keep you awake at night.
You’ll get whatever support you need to take care of what matters to you and move towards what’s next.
We can do that through self discovery: clarify your hopes, dreams, and the impact you’d like to have, understand what’s standing in your way, and find your anchor so you’re not just a leaf flying at the whims of a capricious wind.
We can deep dive into relationships & wellbeing, exploring those important relationships in your life and how to nurture them. We can uncover the expectations (yours and others) which may be weighing heavily on your shoulders. We can clarify the resources at your disposal and how to activate them. We can explore how to prevent burnout from showing up in your life.
We can deep dive into exploration & action: explore possibilities, plan and implement little experiments to test those possibilities, reflect on your experiences and experiments to inform your next step, and so much more…
EXAMPLE TOPICS
Examples of topics I have tackled with clients in the past include:
- You’re questioning your purpose, wondering what legacy you’d like to leave behind.
- You’re weighing a career move—a new role, a new industry, or stepping away from something that no longer fits.
- You’re facing a tough decision and are unsure which path to take.
- You find yourself in a “grind”, overwhelmed with demands, not able to see the forest from the trees.
- You’re questioning what leadership style best fits your current team or opportunities and challenges you face.
- You’ve received conflicting feedback about your leadership or results and need clarity.
What it’s like to work with me
No explanation I give is the same as simply experiencing it—
which is why I offer a full hour session for free.

“Hey Dina,
It’s so great to hear from you. Life is good! So, the (DELETED) move is happening in September, I’ll be continuing to do my role from there. On the (DELETED) side of things I’ve now qualified and have begun taking on clients, I’m loving it!
I really appreciate you following up and reminding me about the session. If it’s okay with you, I’d love to wait until later in the year once the move has happened. I’m sure I’ll need to support then!
In the meantime, I’ve been meaning to write a testimonial for your website for a while – so here you go! I’ve gone for your website because I’d rather stay anonymous for now for work reasons.
Dina supported me through a pretty huge transition in my professional life. She is a beautiful soul who has such a rare blend of pragmatic, professional knowledge and intuitive, heartfelt wisdom. She gave me the space and support I needed to find my way, and did it with a ton of compassion, challenging me in a way that felt empowering rather than confrontational. If you’re looking for a highly personalised coaching experience that feels deeply different from coaching you’ve experienced before, you’re in the right place!
Best wishes to you too. I hope all is well in your world.”
“TRULY ONE OF THE BEST COACHES I’VE WORKED WITH“

“Dina is an absolutely outstanding coach and collaborator. I had the pleasure of working with Dina over several months when she served as a StrengthsFinder coach to my [newly formed] team (…)
After assessing our needs, Dina went above and beyond to build tailored individual and group sessions that were incredibly effective for achieving our goals (…)
Dina’s warmth and joyful demeanor make her an absolute delight to work with. She’s truly one of the best team coaches I’ve worked with over the past ten years.”
“A CONCRETE ACTION PLAN I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH”
_______________________________
“It was lovely meeting Dina, she has a great energy, is very thoughtful and had some great insights and ideas. We were able to come up with a concrete action plan which I was very happy with, and enthusiastic to start implementing. Dina is strongly empathetic and has a real desire to understand and help people. Highly recommended.”
“REVEALED A CLEAR PATH FORWARD FOR ME”
_______________________________
“I enjoyed the introspective journey I embarked on with Dina during my coaching session. Dina’s methodology, which delves deep into intrinsic exploration, revealed a clear path forward for me.
I endorse Dina’s coaching services to anyone facing obstacles in their career journey and seeking clarity on the actions necessary to unlock their full potential.“
