Bruna De Palo

Executive Coach - London

I empower executives and teams to understand how the brain works so they can master behavior and maximize impact through our coaching.

---> Executives, HR leaders, and investors come to me when:

- Their leaders or teams are stuck—struggling to make decisions, adapt to change, or move forward.
- Stress and pressure are too high, affecting performance, focus, and collaboration.
- Communication keeps breaking down, leading to misunderstandings, silos, or disengagement.
- A team needs to align—after a merger, leadership change, or during an offsite.
- They need a practical, science-based approach to leadership and teamwork, not just theories or vague concepts.

---> How I Work

My approach is grounded in neuroscience. I take complex brain science and break it down into simple, practical strategies that leaders and teams can use every day. No fluff, no buzzwords—just real, applicable insights.

---> Here’s what working with me looks like:

- Self-awareness that leads to real change—I show leaders how their brain processes information, reacts to stress, and drives their behaviours, so they can manage themselves and their teams more effectively.
- Better decision-making under pressure—By understanding how the brain functions in high-stakes situations, leaders learn to stay clear-headed and make sound choices.
- Stronger communication and collaboration—I help teams recognize how different thinking styles and brain functions impact conversations, making communication smoother and more productive.
- Handling stress and uncertainty—Teams learn practical ways to manage pressure, avoid burnout, and maintain high performance even in challenging times.
- Building trust and alignment—Whether it’s a new leadership team, a post-merger integration, or an offsite to define a shared vision, I help teams create real alignment, not just talk about it.

---> What Makes My Coaching Different?

- Neuroscience-based, not guesswork
Everything I teach is grounded in applied neuroscience, providing leaders with a clear understanding of why they think and act the way they do. By understanding how their internal mechanisms function, they can take control more effectively and better understand others.

- Actionable, not theoretical – I don’t just share insights; I show leaders exactly how to apply them in real situations.

- Clear and simple – No jargon, no over-complicated frameworks—just practical tools leaders can use right away.

- Deep listening and tailored coaching – I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I take the time to understand each leader’s and team’s specific challenges.

The Results?

- Leaders who are clear, confident, and effective.
- Teams that communicate, collaborate, and perform at their best.
- A workplace with less stress, fewer conflicts, and more focus.
