Leena Ilomäki

I am an educator with extensive experience in the fields of education, learning, and development. I have a long track record in strategic competence and change management, as well as project management in the service business within the ICT sector. I am a versatile and experienced professional who has boldly changed directions in my career. This has been reflected in various professions and roles, including teacher, consultant, executive team member, staff developer, trainer, project manager, mentor, business coach, and entrepreneur.

The common thread throughout my career has been ’coaching’ and a passion for supporting the growth and development of others – enabling individuals or groups to reach their full potential.

I believe that coaching helps people become more aware of their own possibilities and strengths. Coaching increases flexibility, clarifies future visibility, enhances self-direction, and helps people achieve their goals while boosting their energy levels and positivity. I aim to support this process, where mutual trust, active listening, presence, and understanding the client’s needs are crucial.

As a coaching trainer, enabling the growth of others is important to me: enhancing and expanding participants’ level of awareness, fostering insights, empowering them, and supporting appreciative interaction.

I hold a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Adult Education, along with other degrees including BBA and BA. I have extensive studies in work psychology and management, strategic human resource management, and project management. I am a Certified Business Coach Master®, Nokia Certified Coach, and Associated Certified Coach (ACC).

Since 2014, I have worked as an internal business coach and contributed to developing a coaching culture within a multinational company. Since 2018, I have been a coaching entrepreneur through various networks. As an external business coach, I have supported clients in implementing strategic organizational changes and achieving personal goals, as well as coaching individuals striving to advance in their careers.

Clients particularly appreciate my strong behavioral science background and practical understanding of HRD work. My uncompromising professionalism, along with my positive and energetic approach as a coach, career advisor, mentor, and trainer, are highly praised. Participants have seen increased self-confidence and changes in their behavior and actions.
