Adriana is a very skilled and intuitive coach. In our sessions she was able to see exactly where my tensions were, to call me out on language and behaviour that I was demonstrating (in the session and in my life) and provide a reframe that totally sparkled my heart and head. Her perspective and approach was so in tune with what I needed, a balance of direct and gentle. She seemed genuinely invested in my success and I feel honoured to have the privilege to work with her.

Adriana and her team take a human-centric approach to leadership development, focusing on the individual’s strengths that build into a best-in-class team dynamic. The individual leadership development sessions allow a deeper sense of leadership identity and what it means to lean into that identity. The team building sessions are invaluable in connecting teammates in way that grounds the team in a meaningful understanding of each person. In my experience, this is the foundation of trust for a team to operate effectively. Adriana and her team are masterful in organizing workshops that are enjoyable, flow naturally, and are deeply insightful.
BUSINESS COACH & SPEAKER
To top it off, she is a wonderful person, kind, generous. I immediately had a good feeling about her and her ability to help me get to the next level. Choosing her proved to be the right choice for me.
First of all, anyone who wants to achieve more, do more, be more or just simply bring out their best, can benefit from good coaching. I’m not just happy to have found Adriana, I am ecstatic! I found her at the moment when I most needed someone to help me bring out what I already know I had inside of me, but didn’t know how to “make it work”. Something was holding me back and I didn’t know what it was. She was the right coach for me in the right moment and still is. She’s the complete package. She asks the right questions. She listens. She doesn’t tell me what to do, but she guides me to the solution that I already had inside of me, helps me understand what I need to do next.
To top it off, she is a wonderful person, kind, generous. I immediately had a good feeling about her and her ability to help me get to the next level. Choosing her proved to be the right choice for me.
So, that all sounds good, but what about my results? Her coaching helped me to transform my business in a time when I needed to do it the most. I was too much in my head, had too many self-induced mental limitations that were holding me back from achieving the kind of success I knew I deserved. Thanks to her coaching, I went from a possibly disastrous year in my business to having my best year ever. All because I finally started getting out of my own way.
But, we’re not done yet. Sky’s the limit.
I don’t usually toot other people’s horns, but I believe that credit is due where it is merited.
I believe also that we all have a choice, whether we want to continue on a lonely path of trying to figure things out for ourselves, which can take a long time, OR, we can find someone to help guide us to our desired destination or goal. I choose the latter.

There are people in your life that even for short periods make an impact that last forever. Adriana is that person in my life. I was a mentee of Adriana during her time at Nike, and she absolutely changed my perspective in all aspects of my life. She guided me to believe and accept myself for who I am and helped me extract my unique purpose for my career, family and my place in the world. She motivated me to embrace that purpose which has made my life so much more invigorating. Her coaching has directly made me a better employee, husband, and person. Our conversations were life-changing and I cannot put into words how much those sessions mean to me. If you have the drive to identify, understand and reach your full potential, Adriana is the coach for you. I felt her passion and desire to want to help me as soon as we met, and the world is so fortunate that she has decided to focus on this full time.

Dearest Adriana,
Thank you for the invaluable learnings over the last several months and for helping guide me towards serenity and peace.
I feel like everything really sunk in just over the past week, and I have finally felt my anxiety dissipating. From you I learned how to calm the mind, how to decrease stress and anxiety that we create for ourselves by living in the past and future, and simply how pleasant it is to be in the company of an enlightened person.
You helped me build the basics, and I look forwards to one day achieving full enlightenment as well. My deepest gratitude.

Meeting Marco Bas was like opening a window and letting fresh air fill the room… his innovative approach to establishing the important element of trust while assessing an individual’s challenges and problems is unique.
Meeting Marco Bas was like opening a window and letting fresh air fill the room… his innovative approach to establishing the important element of trust while assessing an individual’s challenges and problems is unique.
His non-traditional approach included introducing Tai Chai principles to the group, followed by group discussions. He offered one-on-one coaching to those student athletes and families who needed more immediate and in-depth attention to their personal challenges.
Marco worked individually with staff members to access their strengths and weaknesses. He created a development plan for them to follow to increase their ability to understand the “triggers” that set them off the course they wanted to pursue. He helped them recognize their “self-worth”, as well as gave them the necessary tools for self-planning and realization.

Marco’s patient and empathetic style of coaching created a space where I could freely express myself and get to the bottom of what I valued most.
Marco’s research-based approach to personal development helped me to clear my mind and see my goals more holistically. His patient and empathetic style of coaching created a space where I could freely express myself and get to the bottom of what I valued most. Most importantly, Marco helped me to develop ways I could enact those values into small chunks of daily practices, both in my life and at work as Tennis Director. He emphasizes the importance of sensing and feeling as the basis of authentic action and helps his cochees to gain a deeper awareness of themselves in professional and personal relationships. Ever since working with Marco my awareness has continued to deepen, and I feel my capacity for leadership strengthening in the face of greater and greater challenges. I highly recommend Marco.

Marco helped me to see things from a knew perspective and to focus on the future rather than the past, transforming my thinking and energy.
I began working with Marco 4 years ago, when I was in a place of crisis and my family was struggling. He met me where I was at, taking time to build trust and bringing a wonderful energy. He never judged and only give support. He helped me to see things from a knew perspective and to focus on the future rather than the past, transforming my thinking and energy. I cannot express how grateful I am for the experience and how much of a positive impact he had on my life.
