About
We live in a fast-paced world where the disruptive nature of technology constantly shifts how we live and work. To survive and thrive in this scenario, we need to consider the following:
Acknowledge that we are our own enterprise and act accordingly (it doesn’t matter what you do)
Optimize performance without burning out!
I help people realign their relationship with productivity by focusing on engagement and working on ways to raise it. Think of productivity not as a constant struggle but as a byproduct of your ability to define clear goals and establish an effective process involving your interests and traits.
I also support clients in the process of assessing and enhancing their personal brand by aligning unbalanced aspects, identifying missing links or blind spots, and leveraging their strengths. Everyone is a walking statement, and how you choose to present yourself to the world impacts your ability to land a new job, find the right partner, write a book, or begin a business.
I am passionate about:
Helping executives achieve a work/life balance
Supporting artists in moving projects forward
Preparing clients for new careers/ventures
Supporting small businesses with an emotionally intelligent communication flow
My work is grounded in the many principles and theories of:
Emotional Intelligence
Positive Psychology
Science of peak performance (FLOW)
Mindfulness

Let me help you explore and unleash your authentic voice and full potential.
Fun fact:
Did you know that when we are “in the zone” - where performance and pleasure are optimized - the part of our brain responsible for high cognitive function (prefrontal cortex) is temporarily deactivated in a process called “transient hypofrontality”? This means that our best selves seem to show up when our critical brain takes a nap.

I had an excellent experience with Ana Paula Cota. She was my coach for some weeks but what I learned from her helped me a lot and I keep using it in my day to day. She guided and made me analyze several issues of my work. With her support I was able to get to know my qualities better and set a goal in my work. She is the best!

Excellent coach. Ana is an expert with lots of experience in her field. She worked assertively and helped me developing the confidence needed to bring my script from development phase to pre-production through a very specific set of organizational skills. Her work is based on a lot of research and data collection, which added extra confidence to the process. Don't think twice!!!

Ana was an inspiration! She was on point and led me through a professional transformation. She is easy to work with but also will intentionally push the limits and your comfort zone for the purpose of unlocking new internal growth.
I reached out to Ana because I joined a large corporate environment in a leadership position, and was feeling the imposter syndrome. She guided me right out of it. It felt like she provided an imaginary mirror where I could more clearly see my value and reflect on my own self-worth, which helped me tremendously. Highly recommend working with Ana!

I've had a powerful experience working with Ana. I reached out to her at a critical moment of my life in which I had to choose between professional paths that would have a deep impact in my personal life. She brought not only insights that helped me to develop a more clear vision of my goals, but also consistent DATA. This is the thing: what differs Ana from other coaches I met is her approach based on RESEARCH. It really made me more confident through my process of decision making. Also, it helped me to amplify my potential and self-awareness in a decisive moment. I am very grateful.

Ana helps give you confidence and clarity with step by step tools. I depend on my time with Ana to help me process what I'm thinking about in my business/work life, but I also know that she understands that work and life are integrated, so if I need to take a personal "detour" she can help with that, too. Ana helps me clarify my thoughts and hone in on what I need to focus on. I truly appreciate her insights and intuition. Ana also makes it super easy to reach out to her in the in-between times as well, which for me it is beyond valuable.
