Leena Ilomäki, Owner, Entrepreneur, Associated Certified Coach®(ACC), Certified Business Coach Master®, Nokia Certified Coach
I am a brave, target oriented extrovert who senses people delicately and gets inspired by the ones who are interested in interaction and (personal) development and growth.
I believe that coaching helps us to become aware of our own potential and strengths. Coaching increases our flexibility, improves our visibility and develops our self-leadership. It also helps us to meet the targets set by increasing our energy level and helps us to adapt a positive approach.
I am the person who wants to enable a process, in which a mutual confidence, presence and the customer’s needs are in a critical focus.
From the organisation’s point of view, it is as important to support and ensure the development of individual or group specific activities as the capacities reflecting the organization strategy. Thus, coaching will improve both individual and organisational learning as well as organizational performance and cultural development.
I have received many professional Coaching certificates along the years:
Certified Business Coach (ACSTH), Certified Business Coach Master (Nokia/Dublin), Associated Certified Coach (ACC, ICF), Nokia Certified Coach, Certified Business Coach Master®, Group & Team Coaching Diploma, PCC (Professional Certified Coach, ICF = current learning path), International Coaching Federation ICF, Finland, member.

(abroad as well):

I have a 20-year experience of competence, change and project management in global business (ICT) including working in service design, marketing, sales and consultation.
I am an experienced expert in education, learning and (personal) development reflecting 18 years successful service in the public sector.
I have provided coaching services with success face-to-face and/or virtually (language: Finnish, English) from 2014 onwards.
Additionally, I have acted as a business coach at Business Coaching Center (BCC) community to enhance the customers’ strategic changes for several years. I have also worked as a Career Coach at Coolla supporting customers with their career aspirations and helping them with job search skills and related targets.
At the moment as a Business Coach and as a Coaching Skills Trainer, I am leading and facilitating the Certified Business Coach (CBC) training courses in English and Finnish at Busienss Coaching Institute (BCI) as well as leading customer coaching processes to ensure professional growth of the participants in the training and the coaching clients in various organizations. In addition, I am providing webinars for BCI alumni people and facilitating discussions in BCI book & reading clubs to enlarge awareness and development of individuals.
