Evangelia Barbopoulou - Leadership & Wellbeing Coach
Bio
With 20+ years of corporate leadership roles in global blue-chip companies, and a passion for personal development and wellbeing, I offer a unique combination of skills and experiences to support leaders with their own growth, resilience and transformation, and that of their organisation. I am a certified Consciousness Coach, Chief Wellbeing Officer, Breathwork Practitioner, and Gestalt Coach for Business & Organisations, and trained in Gestalt Mental Health Counselling. I am also a Retreat Leader and the founder of Wellnest Athens, a boutique wellness centre in Athens.
Experience
I love supporting people achieve deeper self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment to create a life they love and thrive in.
Before stepping into this path, I spent two decades in the corporate world leading global teams across industries. My passion though has always been in personal development and wellbeing and eventually decided to turn that into my work. Having gone through my own challenges with burnout and health, I consider wellness as the foundation for any success and fulfilment in life. So today, I support individuals and organizations in realizing their aspirations through a holistic approach to leadership and wellbeing.
Who I work with: • Leaders and professionals wanting to grow their self-awareness, lead with authenticity, align with their values and vision, and improve emotional intelligence, resilience, and performance. • Individuals navigating change—career shifts, life transitions, or moments of disconnection, burnout, or feeling stuck. • People who want to prioritise their wellbeing, build resilience, prevent burnout, and reconnect with themselves at a deeper level.
Why Choose Me? • Deep Corporate Understanding: I spent two decades in the UK working for big multinationals across industries like manufacturing, consulting, energy, telecoms, and healthcare with extensive worldwide travel. I held global leadership roles in procurement, sustainability, strategic planning and performance management. In parallel, I completed my executive MBA at London Business School. I speak your language. I know the unique challenges of managing multicultural, multi-disciplinary teams globally, ever increasing pressure for performance and efficiency, and the relentless pace of global business. • Personal Transformation Experience: I have gone through my own journey of burnout, feeling the disconnect between outer success and inner fulfilment, health challenges, country and career transition, and all this gives me genuine empathy for what you may be experiencing. • Holistic Approach: I combine consciousness coaching, Gestalt therapy principles, breathwork, neuroscience, positive intelligence and wellness practices — guided always by deep presence, realness, and my own lived experience. Whether you're an individual seeking clarity and empowerment or an organization aiming to enhance leadership development and wellbeing, my tailored programs are designed to help you succeed.
