Who am I?

I’m Nelyest Wanderlinder, a professional coach and talent and management expert with over 20 years of experience in both family-owned and multicultural organizations, operating locally and globally in Venezuela and Canada. Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed—and experienced firsthand—how coaching can transform cultures, teams, and professional paths.

​

I lived it myself: I went through a coaching process that marked a turning point in my leadership. I transitioned from being a boss who gave instructions to becoming a leader who inspires, listens, and empowers her team. Since then, coaching has not only been a tool; it has become a part of my management philosophy and my way of serving others.

​

I’ve supported frontline managers, mid-level leaders, and professionals in uncovering hidden strengths, overcoming internal barriers, and moving toward their goals with clarity and confidence. Today, I want to extend that support beyond the organizations I’ve worked with to help more people develop their potential with freedom, purpose, and meaning.

What do I offer?

CLARITY  ACTION  GROWTH

Guidance and Support

Not every professional has someone in their organization who listens, challenges them with powerful questions, and helps them uncover their own answers. That’s the space I offer you —support without judgment or pre-made solutions.

Personalized Coaching

I offer personalized coaching processes, grounded in a solution-focused model inspired by the methodology of Milton Erickson, among others. My approach isn’t about solving your life for you—it’s about helping you unlock your inner potential, move forward using what you already know and can achieve, clarify your goals, and create realistic action plans.

Discovery, Progress, Transformation

 I work with professionals who:

  • Want to move toward a clear professional goal or challenge

  • Feel something is holding them back, but can’t quite define what

  • Lead teams and want to enhance their leadership style, empower others, and foster growth without micromanagement

  • Are ready to commit to themselves and their personal growth.

How will we work together?

1

Let’s Connect

We begin with a free introductory session. This space will help you understand how I work, ask any questions you may have, and decide if this process is right for you

2

Coaching Sessions

After our first conversation, we’ll agree together on the number of sessions—usually between 2 and 5 sessions over a period of three months. Each session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and is held via Zoom

Commitment

Coaching sessions offer a powerful opportunity for self-discovery, goal and action plans setting, and empowerment to move toward what you truly want. However, the real impact depends on your active participation, your willingness to reflect, and your openness to explore answers within yourself. This is a two-way process: I will guide you with questions, structure, and support—and you choose how far you want to go by committing to your actions and goals. Together, we’ll create the space for your transformation

"The Coaching process with Nelyest was a rewarding journey of discovery and growth. When we first connected, I felt an urgent need to work on my priorities and time management to succeed in a very important personal and professional project.
Nelyest asked all the right and timely questions that led to deep and honest reflection. She positively challenged my paradigms, helping me find the answers I was looking for—including those I hadn't even considered before.
The sessions were truly enriching. Months after our last meeting, I’m still applying what I learned and designed. My project is now implemented and growing. I’ve been able to face challenges I never thought possible, and here I am, grateful for her valuable contributions"

As a coach, she knew how to guide me by example and, at the same time, gave me the space to find my own path and thus grow as a professional. He always gave me the tools to achieve my goals and get involved in the department's decisions, making me a committed partner, rather than an employee"

For four years, I had the opportunity to work directly with her leadership team, and during that time, she consistently focused on providing the best training tools and personal growth opportunities across all levels of the organization. This allowed us to be better prepared to achieve Alcatel-Lucent’s goals. Personally, I’m very grateful to her leadership team, as their efforts enabled me to grow as a leader within the company—creating the right environment to achieve the company’s sales goals over several years."
