About Ilia Poznak
Hi, I’m Ilia 👋
A Certified Executive Coach and Workplace Psychology Expert, helping leaders, teams, and organisations simplify the human complexities behind leadership, culture, and performance.
With over a decade of international experience and more than 500 leaders coached across healthcare, emergency services, government, finance, and non-profits, I support individuals and organisations navigating the real-world pressures of leadership: change, complexity, challenge, and transition.
Drawing from evidence-based frameworks, my approach uses psychology as a vehicle to achieve real-world results. I equip leaders, teams, and organisations with practical tools to build resilience, strengthen communication, navigate transitions, overcome cultural and relational barriers, and lead through complexity with clarity and confidence.
In today’s business landscape, leadership demands more than technical expertise — it demands the ability to lead self, teams, and organisations through human complexity. Together, we will simplify leadership, team, and culture challenges to unlock sustainable, authentic performance.
