Story

Coaching shaped by many careers and countries

Elio Haddad is an executive coach specialising in public speaking and high-stakes communication for C-suite leaders. He has coached executives for more than 14 years.

His path to coaching was not a straight line. He worked in hospitality, ran events, led international tour groups, founded a business in Rio de Janeiro and has been an entrepreneur in several fields. That range is why he is comfortable with leaders from different industries, cultures and languages.

Today he works from Lebanon with executives and founders across the Gulf and MENA, in English, Arabic and Brazilian Portuguese.

Approach

Composure first, then craft and content

Elio works on three layers together: the body and nervous system that determine how calm you are, the delivery skills that shape how you sound and look, and the content that decides what you say. Sessions are practical, private and built around your real material.

Outside coaching, Elio is a practising visual artist working in steel sculpture. You can see his work on the art page and at eliohaddad.com.
