Personalized Leadership Coaching & Competence Development

If you are an HR professional, CEO or manager responsible for developing leaders and employees — and you are looking for solutions that create sustainable growth — my BusinessSoul services are for you.

Especially if your organization is facing challenges related to effective communication, collaboration and teamwork, leading and navigating change or preventing burnout.

When should we work together?

  • If you prefer a partner who understands corporate realities — someone who has worked inside organizations, not just observed them from the outside.
  • If it matters that the coach / trainer can easily connect with people in different roles, personalities and seniority levels.
  • If you have attended many trainings before, yet lasting change hasn’t happened: we work in processes, shaping mindset and turning insights into daily practice.
  • If you value experiential learning: instead of theory and boring slides, we create real situations where people learn through experience.

Service Portfolio

Individual Coaching for Experts and Leaders

I support clients on their path of growth and self-development — helping them expand their perspective, deepen their self-awareness, and develop their competencies.
The coaching process is goal- and result-oriented, while remaining flexible to the coachee’s personality, pace, and the objectives we initially set together.

If you’re seeking leadership coaching independently of your workplace, you’ll find everything you need in the YourSoul section.

Characteristics of the Coaching Process

We work with the coachee’s current challenges and real-life situations in a safe, confidential environment.
I aim at balance: acceptance and empathy, while also encouraging honest self-reflection and stepping out of the comfort zone.

Purpose: to expand perspective, uncover blind spots and inner resources, to learn and practice new skills.

As a coach, I ask, listen, reflect, and—when necessary – I provoke. I use creative, experiential methods rather than purely conversational techniques.

We prepare together for difficult conversations and critical situations through simulations, where new communication tools and responses can be practiced safely.

The coachee strengthens self-reflection and perspective switch, enabling them to navigate complex situations independently even after the coaching process.

Framework

  • 6–10 sessions
  • Optionally supported by a triangle conversation with the coachee’s leader at the beginning and at the end of the process
  • Session length: 60 or 90 minutes
  • Frequency: every ~2 weeks

Team coaching for organizational teams

The aim is to develop the team’s collective self-awareness, rewire patterns of collaboration, and strengthen shared responsibility and reflection.

We do not follow a pre-designed agenda. We work in the here and now, with the team’s real dynamics, challenges, and performance needs.
By the end of the process, the team experiences renewed, constructive energy, clearer communication, and stronger collaboration.

Characteristics of the team coaching process

  • Team members — including the leader — learn to shift perspectives, establish shared goals, and define clear collaboration norms.
  • Experiences gained from the exercises are connected back to everyday team dynamics and real work situations.
  • The team commits to incorporating insights into practice and maintaining momentum between sessions.

Expected outcomes

  • Fewer conflicts and faster conflict resolution
  • More effective collaboration and decision-making
  • Strengthened psychological safety
  • Team members express themselves clearly, without slipping into old defensive patterns, and feel more confident taking ownership of their viewpoints.

Format

  • 6-8 sessions
  • Every 2–3 weeks, 3 hours per session or 3–4 full workshop days, delivered in concentrated blocks with several weeks in between.

Competence development trainings and workshops

The focus here is on learning through experience and real situations, rather than theory alone.

We work interactively and lightly — yet with clear focus — and always with the participants’ own challenges and contexts at the center.
I do not offer catalog trainings.

Every development process is designed as a tailor-made program, created specifically for your team, your culture, and your goals.

I specialize in leadership self-awareness and effective communication, with a deep understanding of the everyday realities and complexities of leadership. Before becoming a coach, I worked for nearly a decade in the multinational IT sector.

My coaching identity is shaped by more than 700 hours of coach training and supervision. I work with a diverse toolkit and adapt my approach creatively to the client’s personality and goals. I help them oversee the underlying drivers behind their behaviour, strengthen their self-reflection, and find their own authentic and sustainable solutions.

I work with emerging talents as well as senior leaders,
in both Hungarian and English.

Professional Experience & Qualifications

Feedback from Clients

I always felt that Zoli was fully present with me, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere. At the same time, he consistently introduced exercises that gently pushed me beyond my comfort zone. He helped me put into words feelings I couldn’t previously name. I left our sessions with practical anchors I can hold onto — which now make it much easier for me to navigate situations and people that used to trigger anxiety.

Nándor Kiss (32) – senior strategic buyer

Zoli’s 10-session coaching program helped me transform long-standing patterns that had been holding me back for years. His openness and genuine empathy made it surprisingly easy for me to let down walls I didn’t even realize I was still protecting. Through our work together, I began to see the potential within me more clearly and pay closer attention to my feelings and reactions.
This process set me on a new path: I understand myself better now, I recognize the old limitations and wounds I used to carry, and I finally have the tools to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Ádám Lengyel (33) – telecommunications expert

As a new leader, I find it essential not only to develop practical leadership skills, but also to cultivate the self-awareness that shapes how we show up and operate. The coaching process with Zoli struck the ideal balance between the two: it was intense, interactive, and full of meaningful insights.
He structured our conversations with great care — allowing space to explore my real-life situations in depth, and then offering memorable reflections that opened up entirely new perspectives for me.

Takács Árpád (35) – teamleader

Working with Zoli was effortless from the very beginning. Even our initial chemistry check conversation felt like a coaching session already — he created a space where I could open up completely. Zoli is deeply empathetic and truly attuned to the person he is working with, while confidently guiding you out of your comfort zone.
One of my main goals was to become an effective young leader in a multinational environment, so it was essential for me to work with a coach who had faced similar challenges himself.
Among the many methods we used, the role-playing exercises stood out the most. In most situations, Zoli would take on the role of the other person — a team member, a peer, or an external stakeholder — while I stayed in my own role. At other times, we switched, which helped me see my challenges from entirely new perspectives.

Zsófia Esküdt (30) – HR teamleader

From our very first online meeting, I felt I could open up to Zoli with complete honesty. Through coaching, I gained a clear understanding of my emotions and the underlying drivers of my behavior — and it was a relief to realize that these were all perfectly normal.
We traced my challenges back to their roots and worked on the real causes, which was both frightening and fascinating. Zoli provided concrete tools and exercises that help me support myself and continue to address these issues in the future.
His expertise and sincere, straightforward feedback enabled us to uncover the core of my problems much faster than I had ever expected.

Gábor Fügedi (32) – middle manager

I had previously participated in coaching at my workplace — it started out promising but didn’t bring real change. Working with Zoltán, however, was completely different. Through movement – and emotion-based methods, we initiated lasting transformation: I’ve become more self-aware as a leader, I connect with others more openly, empathy and perspective-taking have become part of my daily routine.
I realized how my earlier withdrawal affected both myself and how my fellow leaders perceived me. The role-play exercises helped turn these insights into real behavioral change, improving my relationships and collaboration at work.

Artur Herczeg (42) – middle manager

Working with Zoli brought not only professional but also profound personal growth, full of valuable insights. He quickly recognized the deeper patterns behind my workplace and life challenges, helping me trace them back to their roots so we could address the real underlying causes. The practical exercises and role-plays powerfully supported my self-reflection and development. Zoli was not only supportive but also truly inspiring — offering concrete steps and new directions. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and lasting transformation.

Krisztina Éliás – middle manager

I began coaching with Zoli through a program provided by my company. Initially, I expected to reduce stress and improve my time management — but I received much more than that. Although I usually find it difficult to open up to strangers, Zoli created a sense of trust from the very first session that remained throughout the process. He helped me uncover the real roots of my challenges and guided me toward practical solutions. I’ve learned a great deal about myself, and today I approach everyday challenges with far greater awareness. I sincerely recommend this experience to anyone open to an inspiring journey of self-discovery.

Balázs Darai (51) – middle manager

Zoli’s training gave me a fresh perspective on how to approach my leadership role, along with a practical toolkit to support it. The two-day group training and the one-on-one coaching sessions complemented each other perfectly, making it easy to apply what I learned in my daily work. Zoli came with a well-structured program, and even when I tried to “throw him off” with unexpected questions, he always had thoughtful answers or guided the conversation toward meaningful solutions. He is a motivating, well-prepared, and authentic trainer who knows how to create a true sense of community among participants.

Richárd Sebők (35) – Development Lead

During all ten coaching sessions, I gained new insights — about myself, my patterns, and the motivations behind my decisions. Sometimes, a single simple question would set off an entire stream of thoughts, helping me reflect on things I might never have explored otherwise. Throughout the process, Zoli maintained a rare balance — creating a friendly, open atmosphere while staying remarkably focused and professional. He always knew when to ask a deeper question, when to let silence do its work, and when a single comment could have a powerful impact. I’m truly grateful for this experience — it gave me a lot both professionally and personally.

Attila Werni (47) – Senior Strategic Consultant

During my appointment as a Line Manager, I had the privilege of working with an exceptional coach who prepared me for the new challenges ahead. With his remarkable intuition, he quickly got to know me and brought out abilities I never imagined I had. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone, regardless of their position or experience, as his methods are truly brilliant.

Tamás Németh (33) – middle manager

As a newly appointed leader, I had the opportunity to work with Zoli for the first time, and from the very beginning I felt that his approach and perspective resonated perfectly with me. Later, when I entered another coaching process, there was no question that I would choose him again – which in itself shows how effective our collaboration was.
Zoli’s attentiveness, empathy, and non-judgmental attitude provided constant support, while he encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. I especially appreciated that we worked through real-life situations, which made it easy to apply the results directly in my day-to-day leadership practice.
I wholeheartedly recommend Zoli to anyone seeking genuine, profound growth — both personally and as a leader.

Alexandra Deák (30) – HR manager

Zoli’s professionalism and deep knowledge were key throughout the coaching process. His attentive listening and supportive presence helped me open up and created a safe, trusting atmosphere where I could finally break down my inner barriers. I realized the importance of being present and focusing on myself in the here and now.
Zoli uniquely adapted his methods to my individual needs — helping me slow down, deconstruct situations, reinterpret them, and see them from a new perspective. He taught me how to truly pay attention to myself and my own needs.
I’m deeply grateful for this journey, which helped me become a more balanced woman — one less driven by the need to please others.

Lili Bánóczy (29) – HR Business Partner

The training was extremely useful: we learned many practical techniques such as leading effective meetings, giving feedback, and developing a personalized communication style.
Zoli led the group in a structured yet relaxed atmosphere – each roleplay exercise was preceded by a short theoretical introduction, followed by a joint reflection on the insights gained.
During the training, we gained a glimpse into each other’s challenges and proven methods, and we also gained valuable self-reflective experiences. In a short time, it provided a great deal of practical knowledge and realizations that I can immediately apply in my everyday leadership situations.
