Your managers are struggling. Your team feels it. Let's fix that.
I help growing organizations develop emotionally intelligent leaders who build trust, boost engagement, and make their teams actually want to show up. I start with inner work, not skills training.
FOR HR LEADERS TIRED OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING THAT DOESN'T STICK.
Does this sound familiar?
Your engagement scores just came back. And the manager ratings aren't good.
You knew that before. Now you got the numbers. Your managers are good people. They were promoted for what they could do, not how well they could lead people. And even your best technical performers will struggle to build trust with their teams without the right support.
Turnover is up. And you think you know why.
People don’t quit companies. They flee from bad managers Your best people start looking for jobs quietly when your leaders don’t know how to develop, motivate and really connect with their teams. Turnover costs much more than a development program ever will.
The managers are too inexperienced, and they know it.
They are running operations AND trying to support their teams, with no real manager training. They want to improve. They just don’t know how. And the pressure is starting to show.
You don't have an L&D function. Development falls through the cracks.
Your HR team is spread thin on compliance and recruitment. Your leaders have targets. So people development becomes a “when we have time” project — and that time never comes. The gap doesn’t occur due to lack of intent. It’s a problem with infrastructure.
You know something needs to change. You just don’t know where to start.
Building a people development strategy from scratch isn’t your job. It’s mine.
Here's what changes when we work together
When my clients finish a program, they don't just walk away with new skills. Their managers come out energized and inspired, with real tools they actually use. Their teams report higher trust and better collaboration. And the engagement scores? They go up.
That's because I don't just teach leadership skills. I help leaders understand what's driving their behavior in the first place. When a manager learns to trust themselves, they stop micromanaging. When they learn self-compassion, they become more compassionate with their teams. When they feel psychologically safe, they create that safety for others.
This approach is called the IGNITE Framework. It's the path your leaders will walk to be developed from the inside out.
"Fernanda's workshops have transformed my leadership style and boosted my team's performance significantly. Her expertise is truly exceptional." - Brian M. - Director of Supply Chain.
I didn't learn this in a training program. I learned it in the trenches.
For 20 years, I led global supply chain operations for brands like McDonald's, Starbucks, and Krispy Kreme. I managed and collaborated with multicultural teams across India, Poland, Germany, China and Philippines. My job was operations.
But I kept building training programs nobody asked me to build. Mentoring people across levels and geographies. Having development conversations that weren't in my job description.
My direct reports went on to build remarkable careers. My mentees got promoted multiple times. And I kept thinking: why is this so rare?
That question is why I started this practice.
When I walk into a room full of skeptical managers, I've been that skeptical manager. When I work with a multicultural team stuck in friction, I've lived that friction: in five languages, across 15+ countries. That's not a credential. That's a track record.
That personal journey — from skeptical operations manager to someone who had to learn the hard way what inner work actually changes — is exactly why this approach works. I've been in the room. And I've done the work.
I help you Ignite Team Magic: develop strong leaders, winning teams, and a trusting culture.
