Hi, I’m Evi.

Through Emotional Intelligence assessments and coaching, I can help you or your organization overcome the costly obstacles that erode workplace performance.

Why I do this

As a young leader in the fundraising world, I was permanently overwhelmed; there was always a fire to put out, a crisis to deal with, to-do lists that were pages long and more conversations to be had than time permitted.

In addition, I had a major case of imposter syndrome about being in a leadership role in the first place and immense (self-imposed) pressure to not let anyone down.

Needless to say, I burnt out.

More than once.

In more than one role and more than one organization.

It’s taken a lot of work to be able to look back at my younger self with genuine compassion and clearly see my struggles for what they were

And as the old adage goes, I’m now able to speak from my scars, not my wounds.

While not everyone’s story will mirror mine, I can say with certainty that everyone can benefit from learning about their current level of Emotional Intelligence.

My own Eq-i 2.0 assessment report clearly laid out areas that I naturally excelled in and areas that could (and did) derail me as a leader. Had I been given such a comprehensive overview of where my level of emotional intelligence was at that time I would have known where to start, what strengths I could leverage and where I needed additional support, training, or coaching. 

My immediate thought was:

 ‘wow, do I wish I’d had this assessment done when I first started out on my leadership journey. It would have been a game changer.’

This is why I am so passionate about providing this service; with EQ assessments and coaching, overwhelm, stress and other workplace struggles don’t have to be the status quo.

Read on to hear what other people have to say about working with me.

  • ‘‘Methods in coaching are no doubt good things, however the best part of working with Evi is her, herself. She is a person with a great capability for empathy and compassion and creates a safe and judgement free space with a great sense of humour too.’’

  • ‘‘Evi is one of the warmest, kindest, and most sincere people I have had the fortune to meet. Coaching for her is second nature, I’ve seen her guide people, organizations, and teams through change, trauma, and growth. Andreller Coaching will support, help and develop you.’’

  • ‘‘Seldom have I experienced speaking with someone as genuinely gifted at listening and responding to what I said (or was trying to say!). Her positive energy and encouragement made me feel safe to explore and speak on my dreams and goals.’’

  • ‘‘In our sessions I felt Evi steer the process the whole time which made me feel secure, and that I didn’t need to worry about how the process was going to work. She was also great at keeping the conversations on track and focused. Evi is naturally talented when it comes to sensitivity and perception, and highly skillful with people, which makes her a great coach.’’

  • “Evi helped me to clarify my values and brought what I wanted into sharper focus. Building on that, she worked with me to develop a framework and strategies to achieve those goals. She was attentive, supportive and insightful throughout the process. Every step of the way she made sure that I was, and felt in control of, the process and outcomes. .”

  • “I would highly recommend Evi to everyone. A perfect mix of friendly and professional, she is calm, attentive and supportive. Making your feel perfectly comfortable right from the get-go, I had no problem being honest and open right away. This led to some really solid coaching sessions that have positively impacted my life professionally and personally.”

Why choose me:

  • I’ve got the experience.

    While each person’s experience is unique to them, it helps to have a coach who understands the context. With more than 20 years in leadership roles and more than 10 of those in the not-for-profit industry, I’ve got a lot of experience to draw from.

  • I’ve got the education.

    I have a Certificate in Coaching from the University of Cambridge, am certified to use the EQ-i 2.0 which is a level B psychometric tool, and recently completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology with first-class honours. I have a deep love of learning and this helps me continually improve my coaching skills and knowledge.

    I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and adhere to their Code of Ethics.

  • I love what I do.

    I am a naturally curious and compassionate listener and a clear communicator; important skills when discussing a person’s Emotional Intelligence. Undergoing an EQ assessment can be uncomfortable at times, but I blend a pragmatic and efficient approach with a whole lot of empathy, some laughs along the way and a genuine belief in people’s ability to learn and grow.

How can I help?
