'I have had the privilege to work with Marcela for long enough to appreciate her uniqueness. It would be too simplistic to say it's her emotional intelligence that makes the difference. Her strong values drive her in a way that inspires immediate trust and people just feel compelled to share what's in their mind. The structure to organise the findings and the stamina to execute round up a professional that is truly outstanding.`

Her extraordinary commitment, professionalism and diligence during the set up and roll out of the global One HR project was outstanding.

WORK WITH ME AS A HUMAN FACTOR DUE DILIGENCE ADVISOR
The HFHC (Human Factor Health Check) is a simple commercial diagnostic for investors to assess whether a portfolio company is likely to deliver on its vision and strategy in reality. It is the human factor part of the due diligence process.
We are a team of Associates using a standard assessment framework which includes: leadership team assessment, employee alignment survey, interviews with Founders and key team members.
The outcome of our work is a written recommendation and a verbal debrief for both the investor and the portfolio company.
WORK WITH ME AS A COACH
I offer Coaching as a professional service for individuals or teams. We typically start with a consultation/chemistry check session (45 minutes) and then schedule sessions on demand (typically 1-3 per month), length depending on the objectives set by the client.
We work together to ensure effective outcomes with realistic accountability. I offer to hold a safe space for you to think, reflect and decide about actions. I trust that you come with an open mind and the commitment to making progress towards your objectives.
I prioritise and give special conditions to start-up and scale-up Founders and leadership team members because I know it matters.
My personal philosophy is finding courage to be honest to yourself when the right time comes. I will let you define your own.
