Liliana Öğün

I am a career and leadership coach with a deep passion for wisdom and helping leaders across the globe find clarity by uncovering the stories they’ve built about themselves.

It fills me with fulfillment to guide others in recognizing and reshaping these narratives, as I watch them move from a place of struggle to one of increased clarity, confidence, and transformative change that brings more inner peace to their lives.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to achieve many milestones—leading impactful large-scale communication projects, advancing in various organizations, and building a successful private international coaching practice. But what truly matters to me is the inner journey I’ve embarked on, confronting and taming my own inner struggles, allowing me to become a kinder individual with greater mental freedom. My journey inward has been crucial in shaping who I am today and how I approach my work.

For many years, I lived as an insecure soldier, driven by discipline and a need to calm the storms within through external victories. This led me to develop a strong sense of duty and discipline, yet it often left me grappling with existential anxiety and a pervasive sense of insecurity.

Through therapy and coaching, I began to untangle the layers of fear and uncertainty that I was wrestling with. These experiences taught me the profound value of self-awareness and clarity, emotional healing, and the importance of nurturing inner peace. This transformation is the cornerstone of my work today. Having walked the path from anxiety to increased peace, I understand the challenges and rewards of this journey. This personal experience fuels my passion for supporting others on their own paths. I know firsthand the power of the tools and approaches I use because they have been instrumental in my own healing.

My work is not just about guiding others—it’s about walking alongside them, offering support rooted in the authenticity of my own journey. In helping others find their way to clarity, peace and trust, I continue to deepen my own understanding of what it means to live a fulfilled and purposeful life.

I think and express myself in Romanian, English, French and Turkish and I learn to do the same in Spanish, which I’m currently learning. I find joy in nature, especially when exercising outdoors, and cherish time spent with my family.

I’m continually inspired by the incredible potential within people, especially by the creativity and power of imagination we all have. These capacities allow us to tear down and rebuild, to transform our realities, to re-connect to life when things are tough.
