About Finansaldenetci

A coach for the whole of your life — not just the next milestone.

I founded Finansaldenetci on a quiet belief: that careers grow best when the person behind them is cared for. After two decades guiding leaders through transitions, I'm here to help you elevate work, wellness, and the quiet parts in between.

My story

I started Finansaldenetci after watching too many brilliant people quietly burn out.

For twelve years I sat across from founders, executives, and creatives inside the rooms where decisions shape industries. I loved the work — but I kept noticing the same pattern. The most capable people in the room were the most depleted. They were optimizing every variable of their business while neglecting the only one that actually runs it: themselves.

So in 2019, I stepped away from the corporate boardroom to build something different. Finansaldenetci is the practice I wished I had been able to send those clients to — a place where career strategy, nervous-system regulation, financial clarity, and inner life are coached together, by one person who knows your full picture. Today I work with a small circle of clients, in long arcs, on what truly matters.

"Coaching works best when it stops pretending your job, your health, and your relationships are separate conversations. They never were."
Coaching philosophy

Three principles that shape every session.

Methodologies evolve, tools change, but the principles I coach from have stayed constant since the first day I sat across from a client. They are the quiet spine of Finansaldenetci.

Whole-person, never siloed

The promotion, the morning anxiety, the relationship tension, the balance sheet — they are one conversation. We work on all of it, in one room, with one trusted guide. Integration is where the breakthroughs live.

How integration works

Evidence over ideology

I draw from positive psychology, IFS, somatic awareness, behavioral finance, and twelve years inside executive teams. If a practice doesn't serve you, we drop it. Your life is the only metric that matters.

Small circle, deep work

I take on fewer than twenty clients at a time, on purpose. Coaching is not a content funnel — it is a long, slow, honest relationship. When you work with Finansaldenetci, you get me, not a roster of associates.

By the numbers

A practice built quietly, measured honestly.

I don't track marketing metrics. I track the kind of change that actually shows up six months after a session — and the patterns I've noticed over twelve years of doing this work.
