Denise
is passionate about making a difference in people's lives. She is a Professional Certified Coach - PCC, with great expertise as a life coach, business coach, and career coach.
Since she was sixteen years old, she knew without a doubt, that helping individuals and businesses was her calling. Thus, she became a clinical and industrial psychologist. |

Still in her
early university years, as a psychology major undergraduate, she
began to be deeply interested, studying, researching and practicing
how to maximize human potential, attainment of peak mind and body
performances, improvement of personal power, self-esteem, health,
wealth and happiness.
Throughout
more than 25 years, she has been in a continuous path of learning,
self-development, self-discovery and growth, thanks to her clients,
patients, colleagues, professionals who she has been in close contact,
her friends and family.
Denise would
like to specifically thank her two dearest sons, for gracefully
being the subjects for many of her applied theories. Her oldest
child has graduated from Harvard University and is presently completing a Ph.D. at MIT. Her younger child is an accomplished student at Carnegie Mellon University.
After reaching her dream of working successfully with a diversity of people, both nationally and internationally, she found out, 10 years ago, about the new concept of coaching.
She researched a lot about it and got hooked. The action oriented coaching model fascinated her, as she could clearly envision herself co-designing and upgrading her clients' lives to real success, both in personal and business contexts. She was completely ready to transition from clinical and organizational psychology into full time coaching.
Denise graduated
from the leading intensive coaching training institute, Coach U,
and founded Designing Your Success Coaching. Since then, she has been taught
and trained by some of the world's most experienced and well-known
coaches, including the late Thomas Leonard (founder of the coaching profession),
Laura Berman Fortgang and Dave Buck.
Denise loves to coach people with all kinds of background, helping to bring success and happiness to individuals, groups, and businesses all around the world.
Coaching has
been a wonderful expansion of her dreams and a very successful approach
to her clients' dreams, because she can utilize both her psychological
and industrial/business background, while taking maximum advantage
of the coaching technology.
She speaks
fluent English and Portuguese..

What
Sets Denise Apart
People often
ask her to describe her core competencies as a coach, and what sets
her apart from other coaches. On the surface she brings a strong
understanding of coaching technology, a well-developed set of skills,
and wisdom culled from years of personal and professional experience.
On a deeper level she brings the results of an earnest exploration
into her own filters, limiting beliefs and internal structures,
including an ability to assist others in seeing what gets in their
way of having what they want, both personally and professionally.
She has devoted
her life to understanding herself and others, to personal and professional
growth. What she brings to each coaching session is the culmination of her
life experiences and the wisdom and clarity that have been distilled
from them. She has unique perspectives that act as catalysts for
your being able to move successfully towards your goals. She will
challenge you, inspire you, support you, and assist you in having
what you most want in your life.
At an even
deeper level, she has learned to work successfully with people on
both the doing level and the being level, and this is a powerful
combination. She works at different levels, depending on the needs
and wishes of her clients. She's quite comfortable and competent
assisting clients in setting goals, exploring creative ways to get
at these goals, removing obstacles, and setting clear action plans
with accountability that accelerate their ability to be successful.
What stays
consistent in all her coaching work is that she works
with who you are as a person, not just with achieving superficial
goals, and she assists people in working from their strengths.
She also incorporates
into her practice many proven cutting-edge tools, approaches and
techniques, such as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional
Intelligence (EQ), for quicker, holistic, long-lasting results.

Denise's
Basic Philosophy of Coaching
She believes
that your life is exactly what you make it. You are a product of
your thinking, and if you can learn to control that…anything
is possible.
Her coaching
provides an environment to bring out your wisdom and clarity. You
have the power to create a life of satisfaction and fulfillment.
Self-defeating beliefs and habits are recognizable and changeable.
The process of change and accomplishment can be energizing and fun!
Results are
important in life, but not as important as the journey.
In the small/medium
businesses and corporate world, her outlook is that an organization
is the sum of every single person within it, and that everyone needs
to understand their purpose and how to launch their own creativity.
She truly loves
to help individuals, groups and companies grow, develop who they are to their
fullest extent, and experience a sense of a deep conquered wholeness.
As Goethe says
it so well: " Treat people as if they were what they ought
to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being."

caring, spiritual, challenging and fully committed to her clients'
success.

Denise's
Ideal Clients
People who are
ready to stop struggling through life, taking what comes their way,
and who want to take control and live their perfect lives.
People who
feel that there is something missing, which leaves them feeling
dissatisfied and empty. They long for clarity of mind and a clear
vision to take them into the future and the life they want to live.
People who
want to explore life at a deeper level, in order to find more freedom,
more meaning and more satisfaction in all areas of life.
People with
great potential and energy who want to focus it to create great
results. They are up for fun and a challenge to get the very best
from themselves, their teams and their lives.
People who
are open, humorous, determined and who really want to make a difference
in the world - either on a global scale or in their own life or
that of their businesses.

What's
It Like Working Together?
In the beginning…
After our initial free phone consultation and we decide to work
together, you will receive Designing Your Success Welcome Package,
which will include some specific assessments catered to your specific
needs, worksheets, Coach Prep Call forms and other great things
to help you get a fast start and get the most from our partnership.
Each week, we'll speak together for 30-50 minutes, on the phone, depending on our initial agreement. Just as you commit to a weekly schedule, I commit to getting to know you and giving you personal attention for your specific situation, goals and dreams.
One of the
first things we will do, is to define what your vision of "success"
looks like (be prepared to drill deep). We'll chart a course that
will move you toward your vision effectively and efficiently. As
obstacles appear - and they will - I will coach you through them.
Before each
coaching session, you will fill out a Coach Prep Call form, highlighting
the accomplishments and "breakdowns" of your week, topics
you want to discuss and the area you want to make immediate progress.
I am equipped
with tools and techniques to help you discover where you really
want to go, what's blocking you, and how to create your better present
immediately and a fantastic future. Some of these tools we'll review
together in our sessions and some you'll do on your own as "fieldwork/homework".
Between our
regular sessions, you can stay in close contact with me via emails
or faxes. If you can't wait to share, by phone, a win or a difficult
situation, I'll be there for you, too.
Bottom line…
The entire focus is on you, your life, your work, your goals, your
dreams, your aspirations, your challenges and obstacles, and your
success. As your coach I will be your personal consultant, mentor,
collaborator, accountability partner, and friend. We will talk,
laugh, plan, and create new results and a new future. Sounds fun,
doesn't it? It is!
