Who we serve
Pallas & Co works with leaders in businesses and not-for-profits of all sizes who are already successful and
want to reach for more. We are especially interested in helping people maximize the value of their
leadership effectiveness in downsizing or merger integration environments.
We work from different perspectives. We acknowledge that they are all inter-connected and interdependent, but breaking down the viewpoints in the following way makes it easy to identify specific, concrete leadership goals that will create value for all the relevant stakeholders:
|
| Client Perspectives |
Client Goals |
| As leaders seeking hard results |
To generate increased levels of efficiency, revenue, profit or customer satisfaction |
| As leaders seeking human results |
To inspire, influence and motivate people to perform at ever-evolving
expanding levels of creativity, fulfillment and achievement |
| As leaders seeking career acceleration |
To accelerate and/or change careers to reach higher levels of self-satisfaction and sustainable performance |
Knowing that our clients demand the best from themselves and their teams, we help them take appropriate
action when they find themselves in one or all of the following situations:
- Have the intention of achieving a specific goal, but not taking the appropriate action
- Have the intention of achieving a specific goal, taking action, but experiencing a lot of difficulty
- Have the intention of achieving a specific goal, taking action, but reaping unsatisfactory results
Our coaching programs address all of the above situations in order to create a flow of energy that produces positive, high-impact results.

| Group coaching |
|
A project program leader wants to implement a service or program roll-out, avoiding all glitches. Group coaching can facilitate communication, action plans and idea generation across teams to foresee
potential problems and take necessary actions to achieve a successful service implementation in the field.
A company director notices a drop in customer satisfaction. Group coaching can bring together the relevant teams involved in services provision to identify the problem sources and focus on the resolution resolution instead of ineffective blaming or other unhelpful behavior.
|
| Individual coaching |
|
A new hire wants to ensure his/her success in a new job (first 100 days). A coach can help him/her
acquire the skills needed to match the new requirements, prioritize action items for greatest
impact, and create environments and relationships that will enable positive results in the short and long term.
A project leader needs to ensure that his/her highly visible project succeeds, which is "make or break" for the company. A coach can support the creation of a clear strategy, simple and effective game plan and the team culture that will foster creativity, focus, collaboration and motivation.
|
| Leadership seminars |
|
A not-for-profit leader wants to create a success culture. Leadership seminars can be used to start this process, engaging everyone in discussing the vision and understanding the thought frameworks and behaviors necessary to make it a reality.
A project manager wants to increase revenue and uses leadership seminars to engage
everyone in identifying the challenges and creating solutions that will accomplish everyone's personal goals and the company's objectives. Group coaching can support the
process, as needed.

Client Feedback & Testimonials
"I had recently taken on new management responsibilities in my job, which included a team that I
wanted to empower. Having spent much of my career hesitant about delegating, I need to expand my
skills to help my team contribute to the company at a high level. Eleni coached me during this
learning period, making me aware of the limits of my initial behavior, helping me find more beneficial
ways to work with my team and progress with a more shared and efficient framework. Discussions
with her were critical for me to accept to get the ball rolling and really address the issues. She
provided me with both attentive listening to my perception of the issues, a very skillfully questioning
of my behavior and also practical guidance to progress forward, which led me to successfully
implement changes. I must also mention that she was always encouraging me and keen to point out
progress, helping me further pass to the essential next steps. I now feel much more confident in my
management role and I certainly would not have made such progress without the objective role that
Eleni played during this critical learning phase. I would definitely recommend Eleni as a coach to any
new manager."
VP, Marketing Manager at Orange Business Services, Paris, France
"Eleni worked with me when my current company was purchased and my future employment was in doubt. Over our series of phone coaching sessions, Eleni provided me with a holistic approach in dealing with the uncertainty of the future and a create a strategic plan
to position myself for success. Her suggestions were both practical and effective and as a result I was able to effectively land at
Capital One with a comparable position. I fully endorse Eleni as a top notch coach who can help you not only identify your potential
but achieve it as well.”
Nick Koumentakos, VP Market Sales and Services, Capital One
"I worked with Eleni at a time of extreme life transition, when I was stepping into a leadership role unlike
anything I was familiar with. Eleni's unique mix of solid, practical knowledge and capacity to explore the
potential, while preparing for great change, was invaluable. She worked with me in the ways that most
effectively helped me to move forward; a skill that not all coaches have yet mastered. Eleni has a passion and deep desire to help us reach our goals and be our very best, to bring change to the world. Her commitment to me as a client, and to my goals, was apparent throughout the coaching collaboration. I
highly recommend Eleni for anyone who wants to move into higher levels of more conscious leadership; to
excel and reach potential, even when you can't yet recognize what that will fully mean in your life."
Kimberley Simon, Founder of Clear Connections, Toronto, Canada
"Eleni is an inspiring and highly competent coach. She has helped me find the real reasons behind the lack
of progress in my business activity and identify solutions to the issues I was struggling with. She is very self-confident
and had the ability to transmit the feeling of confidence to me. She has left me feeling that I am
capable of reaching the most important objectives I set for myself, as long as I tackled my endeavors the
right way. Eleni is a leadership specialist but throughout my experience with her she has also demonstrated
in-depth knowledge of business coaching. I highly recommend Eleni for anyone looking to achieve his/her
business objectives, both related to Leadership and other matters."
Kaoutsar Entifi, Managing Director of Portals International, Paris, France
"My coaching with Eleni allowed me to better understand my weaknesses and key self-perceptions.
Practical techniques enabled me to turn these weaknesses into strengths and provide me will and a better
toolset to be a more effective leader."
Andy Viles, Manchester Business School, Manchester, England
