Explore A Different Approach To Leadership
One that intimidates even the sharpest minds in tech
Picture yourself like this TREE...
Your BRANCHES stretch out far and wide. This represents your skills for external accomplishments like critical thinking, envisioning, and innovation.
This is where most leaders focus. BUT what about the roots?
Your ROOTS represent the skills for your inner foundation — things like emotional intelligence, presence, and resilience.
Without strong roots, even the tallest and widest trees are at risk when the storms come.
The tech industry is full of storms, but leadership demands even more — decision fatigue, constant crisis management, and the nuances of leading multi-cultural and highly analytical teams.
If your roots aren’t strong and grounded, these storms could severely limit your ability to perform and deliver results.
But there’s a way to strengthen your roots — so you can be unbreakable, no matter how many storms come your way.
And it's less intimidating than you might think.
The ONE THING that can change EVERYTHING
Stepping into leadership from a technical role often reveals gaps. While you're proficient at solving complex problems, leadership requires a different set of skills — ones that don’t always come naturally.
In fact, 63% of tech executives believe leadership is primarily about analytical problem-solving, with only 37% seeing emotional intelligence as a key priority.
This mindset leaves over 50% of tech leaders worried about being perceived as "soft," fearing it might undermine their authority.
THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE, NOW. Because when it does, it changes everything.
Take Dan, for example, a hardworking and driven tech founder who was always able to power through...
...until the day he couldn't.
One day, he found himself absolutely exhausted, and more disconnected than ever. Normally, he'd regain his balance quickly, but this time was different. For weeks, he felt like giving up was the only option.
This strain negatively impacted several team meetings and delayed important deadlines. Even his energy at home made his wife worry about him.
That’s when Dan made a critical decision. He chose to open himself to a new approach, trusting me as his coach to guide him. And that decision changed everything.
Finally, Dan was able to take up the time and space he desperately needed to rest and reflect. But that's not the best part.
He became more aware and attuned to his thoughts and emotions, which allowed him to think well and create some solid next steps to move his company forward.
It wasn't about the program nor the coach, it was about fortifying his ROOTS.
By working on his inner foundational skills, he was able to regain alignment, focus, and the energy that now fuels the accelerated growth of his company.
Chances are, it’s what you probably need, too.

Meet Your Gardener
Many coaches and courses today focus on the branches, WITHOUT nurturing the roots.
That’s where I can bring real value. Hi, I’m Trish, the gardener of leaders. 👋🏼
Just like a tree needs deep, healthy roots to grow tall and strong, you need a solid foundation to help you be unbreakable no matter how many storms come your way.
Without this, external solutions will always fall short. Instead of 'doing more', I want to help you 'become more'.
Why Work With Me?
Here are two reasons :
First.
My work goes beyond enhancing your technical or strategic skills. My specialty lies in inner development — the kind that may intimidate most tech leaders coming here. But that's the beauty of it. The deep, difficult things are usually the ones that bring the biggest transformation.
My core work is all about challenging your ways of being, thinking, and doing. Because if you can see things from a different lens, then you'll be able to bring more meaning, impact, and tangible results to the world.
Second.
Insert fancy acronyms here. Kidding aside, I am a professionally trained, certified and an accredited coach by ICF (PCC level if that's important for you to know), and have lived and worked in Asia, Middle East and Europe where I've supported leaders from all walks of life.
Above it all, I embody high standards of ethics with a dash of humor on the side.
Don't take my word for it, take hers.
I have been coached by Trish in her leadership development program : The Enlightened Leader Project, and it was a truly valuable experience which I needed more in this phase in my life than I realised.
I experienced Trish being a kind, energetic and knowledgeable person who is excellent in asking the right questions and letting yourself come to certain thoughts and conclusions. As she got to know me better, she adapted her coaching style accordingly. We had a retrospective session half-way the program to reflect and make changes as needed.
Working with Trish has been impactful. She was able to create a space for me to completely be myself and speak my mind. My development was accelerated through her program and it helped me to learn how my body and mind work.
She helped me in realizing everything will be alright and that I can conquer anything I set myself to, no matter how I feel in a certain situation. Trish has helped me become (even more) aware which helps me communicate with others even better and recognizing and acting upon my mood in the moment itself. I wholeheartedly recommend Trish as coach!
Not that you need to know...
Trees are everywhere, aren’t they? So is my purpose. Although I’m now based in Europe, 10% of the proceeds from my coaching programs return to my roots in the Philippines, supporting the leadership development of economically challenged women and mothers through my grassroots community partners.
What this means is that you're investing in yourself by getting my services, and through that, we're able to invest in others. Triple win!
Work with me if... You want to cultivate deeper connections — with yourself, with others, and with the world around and beyond you.
Whether you want to water your roots, cultivate your soil, or prune your tree, I’m here to support you.
