Mihirini de Zoysa

I am a leadership and team coach with over 25 years of experience in working with leaders from diverse organisations, supporting them and their teams to become their best version.

My experience, not only as a coach but also as a trainer, workshop facilitator and organisation development consultant has enriched my work over the years in supporting and guiding leaders, teams and organisations to:
- navigate transitions
- transform themselves
- build collaborative relationships and
- own their story

If you are committed to a process of learning and deep inquiry and if you or your team find yourself stuck or challenged by transitions, I would love to hear from you.
