Lola has experience in executive coaching, leadership training, and ICF-accredited coach training. Her work focuses on people, systems, and on supporting her clients in navigating complexity, often whilst they enable their own teams to remain aligned and collaborative. 

Over the past 17 years, she has worked globally and specialized in encouraging her clients’ capabilities to be “leader-containers”, especially in high-stakes environments, by applying the best practices to create psychological safety, being the buffer for their teams in times of uncertainty (e.g., COVID, Merger and Acquisitions), while still keeping their teams focused on collaboration, harnessing creative thinking and results. 

Her other specialization focuses coaching leaders who are quickly promoted into broader, more strategic roles and find themselves leading teams through pressure, cultural misunderstandings, and complexity. 

In Malaysia, Lola served as an adjunct at the Central Bank-ICLIF from 2010 to 2015, coaching hundreds of senior executives in the financial sector through leadership programs, including high-potential talent preparing for significantly larger roles. She led a year-long, cross-functional action-learning leadership program and coaching initiative with MISC/Petronas, resulting in improved collaboration among senior executives across departments.  

In 2025, a prominent global bank underwent a reorganization that required changes, while the recipients of those changes had to set direction despite a lack of clarity and manage teams who had to keep up collaboration without giving in to fear or catastrophizing in the face of unclear structures. Lola worked with several executives, facilitating their roles to bolster psychological safety and set direction despite incomplete information. Her work focused on aligning their personal leadership goals with organizational-level goals to enable them to communicate a clear narrative, stabilize teams, and bolster execution despite ongoing change.
