MentorsPro

Leadership teams that work well under pressure.

MentorsPro helps leadership teams through the moments that test them: a new leader, a restructure, fast growth or conflict that will not settle. We start with a five-week Team Diagnostic and stay for as long as the work needs us.

Every engagement starts by mapping how the team really works: who relies on whom, and where pressure repeatedly builds.

When leaders call us

Something has changed and the team has not yet caught up. These are the four situations we work with most.

A new leader inherits a team

Understand the team you now lead in weeks rather than quarters, and set the tone early.

After a restructure or merger

Rebuild trust and working agreements when roles, reporting lines or cultures have shifted.

Growth is outpacing the team

Find where decisions stall and which habits no longer fit the size of the business.

Conflict that will not settle

Surface the patterns under recurring friction so the team can deal with causes, not symptoms.

How an engagement grows

Most clients begin with one team and one contained piece of work. What comes next depends on what the team needs.

Why teams repeat the same patterns

Under pressure, capable people fall back on old ways of protecting themselves. In a team, those habits collide.

Our work draws on Schemas in Leadership, Daniela Aneva’s book on the deep patterns that shape how leaders and teams behave when the stakes rise. Naming those patterns, without blame, is often what finally lets a team change how it works.

It is a practical lens, not a theory lesson. Teams see their own patterns in their own words, then agree what they will do differently on Monday.

“Daniela Aneva has worked with Stiltz Homelifts in two significant roles, and I recommend her without hesitation.

She first provided executive coaching to our US Board of Directors and the President of Stiltz. Her understanding of senior leadership dynamics made a real difference to how that team worked together. She improved leadership effectiveness, strengthened collaboration and brought sharper strategic alignment across the business.

Building on that success, Daniela is now delivering our Senior Leadership and Management Programme. This is a blended development programme that combines face-to-face workshops, online embedding sessions, one-to-one coaching, psychometric profiling and 360-degree feedback. She has designed it so that each element reinforces the others. Learning from the workshops is tested in practice, explored further in coaching and measured through feedback. As a result, our senior managers are building lasting habits rather than simply attending training.

Throughout both pieces of work, Daniela has coached with empathy and honesty, and with real commitment to the people she works with. Leaders feel safe enough with her to be open about their challenges, and she challenges them enough that they act on what they learn.

Daniela has played a central part in shaping our leadership culture on both sides of the Atlantic. I would recommend her to any organisation looking for coaching or leadership development that delivers lasting change.”
