Every new perspective is the beginning of a new possibility.

Sometimes, looking at a situation from a different place reveals options we had not noticed before. When we take a fresh look at ourselves, our decisions and the circumstances we are in, we can shape our own path more consciously.

I offer executives working in Türkiye and around the world a coaching partnership in which they can explore their own agenda and share their thinking freely.

In person or onlineIn Türkiye and abroad

Every executive's journey is their own.

Every executive's experience, priorities and hopes for the future are different. Preparing for a new responsibility, weighing an important decision, developing a leadership approach or setting a new direction in a career...

In coaching, you set the agenda. As we work on what matters to you, I accompany you in exploring different perspectives and finding your own answers.

Topics you might bring to coaching

  • Your leadership approach
  • Communication and influence
  • Periods of transition
  • Decision-making
  • Teams and relationships
  • Values and strengths

Wherever in the world you lead, a space to think in your own language.

Working across countries, cultures and organisations adds new dimensions to the experience of leadership. The expectations of global headquarters, the dynamics of local teams and different working cultures can all take up a significant place on an executive's agenda.

Having spent many years as an executive in international companies, I know this world from the inside.

I work online with Turkish executives based abroad, in their own language and in a setting where they can express themselves freely.

Coaching for Executives Abroad
Melis Öner

An executive coach from inside the business world

Throughout my career I have worked between different worlds: while managing the Near East and Gulf markets from Türkiye, I reported to a headquarters in Europe; and at a young age I started my own business in the United States. These experiences let me understand, from inside business life, the responsibility an executive carries and what it means to make decisions between differing expectations. In coaching, however, the agenda is always yours. As an ICF PCC and EMCC SP, I offer a professional space in which you can develop your own answers.
