Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Our Approach

We help leaders gain clarity and unlock their full potential by tapping into their own resources and turning vision into reality. Coaching accelerates this process, delivering measurable impact. Our work is guided by five core values that ensure every engagement drives meaningful results.

Integrity

Curiosity

Generosity

Excellence

Initiative

Integrity
Integrity is the bedrock of our operations. We understand that true success is impossible without honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct. Every action we take is a reflection of our commitment to integrity, ensuring that our clients can trust us implicitly.
Curiosity
Curiosity includes our relentless pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and growth. We believe that curiosity fuels innovation, fosters creativity, and propels us toward new horizons of possibility. It's this insatiable thirst for learning that allows us to stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape.
Generosity
Generosity defines our approach to service. We believe in giving wholeheartedly to our clients, offering not just our expertise but also our empathy, support, and understanding. Our aim is to exceed expectations, enriching the lives of those
we serve through acts of kindness and generosity.
Excellence
Excellence is our standard. We embrace a commitment to continuous improvement, viewing every challenge as an opportunity to refine our skills and deepen our expertise. By pursuing excellence, we ensure that our clients receive nothing but the highest quality of service and guidance, tailored to meet their unique needs and aspirations.
Initiative
Finally, initiative drives us to take bold action and procure change proactively. We understand that progress requires courage and initiative, and we empower our clients to step outside their comfort zones. Thereby they seize opportunities for growth and transformation.

My Work Before Coaching

Before coaching, Frie specialized in marketing and brand strategy and held various roles from Junior Manager to CMO. As a passionate multicultural leader with a strong analytical and performance-oriented mindset, she designed international go-to-market strategies, built high-performing teams, and led product and brand launches. Her work with executives from renowned companies such as Chanel, LVMH (Dior), Shiseido Group (Issey Miyake and Elie Saab) and Beiersdorf (Nivea) resulted in significant sales growth. Frie also founded Dulce de Lana, a social enterprise dedicated to empowering low-income families in Mexico, reflecting her commitment to meaningful, values-based leadership.

My Whole Story So Far

From a young age, I was drawn to the complexities of the mind and the intelligence of the heart. I would sit on my father’s lap, listening to adult conversations, asking endless “why” questions, and following my intuition to make sense of the world.

Over time, I shifted toward external achievements, building a corporate career that looked like success but felt increasingly misaligned. Motherhood changed everything. Holding my daughter Emma, I questioned it all—Was this the life I wanted? What kind of example was I setting? These questions led me to a pivotal decision: I walked away.

With no clear plan, I founded Dulce de Lana, a Mexican ethical brand built on my values. More than a business, it became my teacher—through the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, the solitude of being a founder, and the unpredictability of the pandemic. I learned how uncertainty builds confidence, obstacles create possibilities, and resilience transforms stress into strength.
Seven years later, with a thriving business and a family of five, something still felt incomplete. A return to the corporate world seemed logical—bigger teams, larger budgets, greater influence—but left me disconnected from what truly mattered. What I had always loved most was seeing people grow—helping them turn fear into courage, indecision into confidence, and pressure into personal power.

A friend’s recommendation changed everything: an online German coaching course on personality development. It reignited what had been there all along—my fascination with people, learning, and unlocking potential. Looking back, the most fulfilling moments of my career weren’t about hitting targets but about helping others break through limitations and step into their strengths.

True growth isn’t about adding more—it’s about removing the noise, unlearning limits, and creating space for clarity. Leaders don’t just lead businesses; they lead people. When they transform, the ripple effect is profound. This is the work that drives me today.

Take the first step today—small actions lead to big change.
