Welcome to my site. My name is Carlos Montes Portela, and I am a coach. For me, coaching means sitting beside you to understand you, to connect with you, and from there, to offer perspective so that you can achieve your goals.
Some topics you might be considering include:
“I’ve worked my whole life as an engineer at an energy company. I would love to open a bed-and-breakfast and move to Spain with my family, but I’m not quite sure how to go about it, and I find it very scary to take this step.”
“My children have all left home, and I notice that we’ve grown apart. They mean so much to me that I’d really like to restore that connection, but how do I do that? We often end up in unnecessary arguments, and I want to break that pattern.”
“I became a manager because I enjoy empowering people. I love it when a team grows and the people in it are able to fully utilize their talents. But with all the bureaucracy and constant reorganizations, I’m going to work with more and more reluctance. I’d like to enjoy my job again and lead with more autonomy and creativity. But, how do I do that?”
Are you facing similar questions, and would you like me to sit beside you to explore the possibilities you already have or can discover in order to find answers that suit you? Then feel free to contact me.
