Feel very lucky to have met you and managed to catch you before you inevitably (and deservedly!) get busy with other clients!” Client JE

Paula Antonio - Performance Coach
Paula Antonio is a relational, client-centred coach who believes great leaders are differentiated by how they interpret behaviour and navigate complex power dynamics. Drawing on over 30 years of experience working within large global organisations, this approach puts the leader firmly at the centre, providing a confidential, psychologically safe space to explore the most pressing corporate dilemmas. Because pressure and stress can easily diminish presence and impact, coaching styles are flexed to meet each individual exactly where they are. Together, the focus is on examining interactions within the broader system, uncovering the triggers and limiting assumptions that hold performance back. By inviting a polarity of thinking and encouraging creative experimentation, leaders are supported to authentically flex between independent and interdependent habits. Ultimately, the goal is to help individuals reclaim conscious choice and perform at their absolute best.
"Coaching with Paula has been enlightening and empowering. Her careful methods to explore sometimes difficult topics has allowed me to stand back and assess what drives me, what's important to me and how to take control of my own pathway. Her sensitivity to building out work and home life influences concurrently has given me momentum and has allowed me the confidence to stretch myself, communicate my value to my employer and achieve the recognition for what I do authentically.” Director PwC
My specialisation focuses on the premise that exceptional leadership is defined not by personality or philosophy, but by how effectively individuals interpret behaviour and navigate complex power dynamics within hierarchical systems. Under intense pressure and stress, leaders often react from trigger points rather than strategy. This diminishes their capacity for conscious, intentional responses, ultimately eroding their executive presence, influence, and systemic impact. My work targets this exact vulnerability, helping leaders master their internal and external responses to sustain peak performance.
Career experience
Leadership & Corporate Transformation: Spent 10 years in a global leadership role at British Airways, spearheading large-scale transformational change initiatives across international operations
Executive Development Consultancy: Director and Managing Director of a specialised executive development consultancy from inception in 2008 to the present day, driving business development and delivering strategic advisory services.
Business School Faculty: Continue to serve as an Executive Coach and Team Coach at a leading European business school since 2012, partnering with leading-edge global corporations to develop senior leadership capacity
