About Sculpting the Future
Mission
Empowering individuals to sculpt their futures with intention and courage, harnessing self-efficacy, inner harmony, and the principles of flow science to achieve greater productivity with meaning and purpose, avoid burnout, and foster personal growth.
Why'Sculpting The Future'...
Sculpting The Future operates on the principle that each individual has the power to influence and shape their future, inspired by humanistic psychology principles emphasizing self-determination, the search for meaning, and self-improvement.
Naturally, this involves effort. 'Sculpting the Future' is not an easy process. It requires consistent and persistent effort to achieve defined goals and face challenges and obstacles that arise along the way. It involves clear goal setting, conscious and directed decision-making, and personal responsibility for choices and actions.
Just as a sculptor shapes stone, we, too, can shape the trajectory of our lives to align with our values, objectives, and aspirations.
Sculpting the Future is a call to intentional action and strategic decision-making, focusing on present action to achieve the desired future. It is about believing in oneself, developing self-efficacy, and working tirelessly to achieve challenging goals. It is about courage to face challenges and overcome obstacles, aiming at personal and social fulfillment and evolution.

COACHING WITH LEONOR
Personal Profile
About Me
I am passionate about experiencing body movements to the sound of beautiful music that speaks to my soul. I love traveling with my loved ones, exploring new places and cultures that broaden my horizons. I'm an avid reader of books that expand my thinking, giving me the perspective and tools to live my journey consciously and meaningfully.
My Coaching
Mission
My mission as a coach is to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential as whole beings. This involves developing self-efficacy, inner harmony, and excellence.
Approach
I ground my coaching approach in the principles of Flow, a state of optimal experience characterized by intense focus, deep engagement, and a sense of effortless action. Flow theory, pioneered by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, highlights the profound benefits of being in Flow for enhancing performance, creativity, and overall well-being. By integrating Flow principles into coaching, I help individuals unlock their full potential, harnessing their innate strengths and talents to sculpt a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.
Personal Journey
My coaching journey began during a profound life transformation. Having experienced a state of deep exhaustion, entered into an emotionally challenging divorce, and yearning for professional changes due to feeling misaligned, I realized I needed a pause to redefine my life. Seeking to rediscover my purpose, coaching became a tool for my own growth and eventually my purpose – to help others cope with life challenges and support them in living their best versions.
Personal Values
The values I bring to my practice are honesty, fairness, curiosity, and a sincere love for human nature. Establishing a genuine and transparent connection with clients is my priority, allowing me to accompany them efficiently and meaningfully through their personal and professional development journeys. I believe every individual possesses a remarkable capacity that often surpasses their imagination.
Education & Experience
With over two decades of experience in economics and management across public and private sectors, I offer a rich background to my coaching practice.
As an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Associate Certified Coach (ACC), I utilize my knowledge and skills to support my clients' journeys towards personal and professional growth.
I am also certified as a High Flow Coach by the Flow Research Collective and a Flow Business Coach by the Flow Coaching Institute.
Registered with both the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Portuguese Professional Coaching Federation, I am dedicated to continually enhancing my abilities to better serve my clients.
