Hi, I’m Galina.

A life, leadership, and career coach dedicated to helping you get inspired about the life you have, build the life you love, and enjoy the journey.

Through powerful conversation and deep commitment, I help passionate people achieve meaning and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives, emphasizing values, resilience, integrity, and personal responsibility. One person, one conversation at a time.

My approach comes from deep personal experience. Born and raised in the Soviet Union, behind the Iron Curtain and under constant suspicion as a Jew, I learned to overcome adversity. At age twenty-six, I escaped to America with my husband and our three-year-old son. This meant learning a new language and culture, overcoming the anxiety of leaving my home, and embracing the opportunities in my adopted country to build a life and career. This journey culminated with a long-standing role as a Technology Executive in one of the major film studios and a published memoir, Last Train to Freedom.

“Why coaching?” you ask. I have a passion for people. I always have. I believe no matter your obstacles, each person has the power to change, reinvent, and transform their life. I am here to serve and guide you on your path.
