What is coaching

Looking for a more intentional way forward?

Coaching is a focused space for you to think strategically about where you’re headed and how you want to navigate the decisions and challenges along the way. It’s useful whether you’re deciding what comes next, navigating a transition, or working towards something you want to make happen.

Coaching happens through structured conversations, often over multiple sessions. Each session has a clear focus, and the work continues between sessions to allow insight to develop into action and habits. The aim is not just short-term change, but a deeper shift in how you understand yourself and make choices.

My role is to help you see new possibilities, find alternate routes, and ensure you don’t lose focus. I will give you support, structure, and accountability to overcome obstacles and take real action. I act as a sounding board, ask questions that lead to insights, and challenge your thinking.

I know what it is like to leave a path that once made sense.

I’m Teresa Koskinen, a transition coach with a background in strategy and leadership and first-hand experience of major transitions across careers, countries, cultures and ways of life.

I grew up in Finland, spent 13 years in Japan, and am currently based in Sweden. Before coaching full time, I spent more than a decade working in strategy, operations and leadership, including roles at Accenture, EY and Uber.

My work now brings together goal-oriented strategic thinking with a deep empathy for people and the challenges they face as they grow, change, and move through uncertainty.

In their words

“Working with Teresa gave me real clarity on the next steps in my career, replacing vague ambition with a concrete direction. She helped me build the confidence to actually act on that plan rather than just think about it.

I walked away knowing what to do next and trusting myself to do it.”

Phéline Casier · Advertising Operations Manager

“After nine years in the same role, I had reached a point where I was no longer learning or progressing professionally, but I felt that moving abroad would conflict with my partner and my plans to start a family. Working with Teresa helped me understand how staying in my current role was limiting me both professionally and personally.

She helped me see that moving abroad and starting a family did not have to be competing choices. As a result, we decided to move to Amsterdam and join the central team, allowing me to progress professionally while also fulfilling a long-standing goal of living abroad.”

Treza N. · Operations Manager

“Teresa challenges assumptions and is quick to notice when an unhelpful thinking pattern is steering a decision. She listens closely, asks precise questions, and leaves the thinking to you instead of offering her own answers.

When I came to her stuck on a decision I’d been going back and forth on, I left the session clearer and with a specific plan in mind. She is warm, direct, and easy to trust.”

Kirsten Keefe Davidsson · Working Parent · Career Transition

“After several intense years in a fast-paced corporate environment, I wasn’t sure whether I actually wanted to keep climbing the corporate ladder, but I also didn’t know what I wanted to do instead.

Through our coaching sessions, Teresa helped me reconnect with my core values and better understand the aspirations behind them. I was able to see a much broader range of possibilities for where my career could go next.”

Diana Elchaninova · Marketing & Operations Manager

“Teresa helped me turn my broad questions into clear, concrete goals, which was something I found difficult on my own. She asked thoughtful questions that challenged me to dig deeper and reflect on what I really wanted from my next career move, rather than settling for my first answer.

What I appreciated most was Teresa’s ability to listen without judgment while also knowing when to challenge me. She helped me gain clarity, build confidence, and take concrete steps toward my next career move.”

Stephanie Dorjee · Account Manager

“Facing an unexpected shift in my career track left me uncertain whether to return to my previous role or pursue a new path. Through structured self-reflection exercises and attentive guidance, Teresa helped me systematically evaluate my options and identify my true professional goals.

She supported me through my uncertainties until I could clearly map out my best direction. As a result, I gained a concrete, actionable plan to move forward.”

Anna · Project Manager

“I was struggling with understanding how I should think about my career and future. I’ve felt stuck for some time, and was looking for something to help me progress, not only taking a decision about job offers but what mindset to employ long term.

Teresa asked great questions that made me question why I was going about things in the way that I did. She helped put me on a path to find the answers myself, and I don’t think I could’ve gotten to the same realizations just by myself.”
