Hola! I’m Paula Castillo. As a coach, I help leaders and teams be at their best by recognizing their patterns, workign skillfully with what helps and hinders them, and developing greater collective self-awareness.

Leadership & Team Performance, powered by CliftonStrengths® Coaching

With 15+ years of corporate and international consulting experience and a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard University, I bring rigor and real-world perspective to leadership and team development.

CliftonStrengths coaching for career changes

expand your leadership horizons

Strengths-based coaching expands how you see yourself, how you lead, and what becomes possible.

Gain awareness of how your strengths and blind spots shape the dynamics you create—and develop the capacity to shape them more intentionally.

build an exceptional Team

Understanding your collective strengths shifts what is possible together.

Build collective self-awareness so your team can perform at its best—understanding how strengths fit together, where unhelpful patterns show up, and how to work with both to drive exceptional results.

Shape what’s next in your career

Expand your options, test new directions thoughtfully, and make career decisions that feel grounded rather than reactive.

Make sense of what’s no longer working and explore new possibilities—without rushing to reinvention. Examine how your strengths shape your career choices, and how to work with them more consciously for a fulfilling career.
