Creating Possibilities

LEADERSHIP COACHING FOR PRACTICAL DREAMERS

Anton Zemlyanoy

From leading creative teams to coaching leaders

Hi, I’m Anton,

And I believe in our capacity to make the imagined real.

My first professional dream was to shoot magazine covers with some of the best creative teams. I did that by age 35.

My second dream was to create a place for freelancers to find inspiration and guidance on their journey towards professional success. Done by 38. It is here that I realised how much I love helping and challenging people.

Welcome to my third professional dream: helping leaders, entrepreneurs and creative professionals build desired versions of themselves, their future and the world around them.

Supporting clients in crafting
desired versions of:

Themselves

You are the instrument through which life expresses itself. And like with any instrument, we need to do three things:

  1. Care for ourselves (to give us the highest chances of succeeding)

  2. Fine-tune ourselves (no point in hitting piano keys harder if it’s out of tune)

  3. Master applying ourselves (with our strengths, weaknesses and peculiarities)

Here, we work directly with how you see yourself, how you perceive the world and how both impact the way you show up.

Confidence, patience, clarity, productivity, perseverance and self-trust are frequent topics here.

Their future

“What’s your dream?” and “What are you doing to get there?”. These are the two questions that got me to fall in love with what’s called fulfilment coaching because I believe these are questions worth asking.

Each of us has a unique version of our dreams and what it means for us to work on those. It is a privilege when I get to work with clients on building theirs.

Here, we first work on the recipe for your desired future and I accompany, support and challenge you as you start creating it.

The world around them

What does this world need and how can you contribute?

This coaching is about something bigger than yourself. It is about the impact you want to have - it could be on your team, on your organisation, industry or the whole of humanity.

Here, your vision and our coaching are in service of something explicitly greater than yourself, and it could focus on your leadership impact or a mission you’re on.

Achieving anything meaningful consists of three parts: knowing what you truly want, figuring out how to get there and doing the work itself.

Our coaching will involve

1. Vision & goals

We will start with clarifying your vision, what makes it matter to you and translate it into meaningful goals.

2. Creating a plan

This stage is about figuring out how to get to your goals in a sustainable way that suits your resources, personality and ways of working.

3. Doing the work

It’s up to you to take actions between our sessions. Life will throw opportunities and obstacles your way. Some - external, others - internal, such as self-talk, impatience and disempowering beliefs. We will work with all, aiming to make you stronger as you continue moving forward.

How my clients are benefiting from coaching

  • "Anton helped me twice in my life. The first time, he helped me navigate my way through my personal life. I ended a difficult relationship, moved countries, and started a new career. The second time, Anton guided me through starting my own business. With his help, I managed to open the business, take it to 6-figure annual revenue in the first 6 months, and overcome the mental objections and challenges that I faced. The business started off on the right foot, and became a lot more successful than I had anticipated."

    George, entrepreneur

  • "I first reached out to Anton for a unique and specific purpose (or so I thought): working on my stress level at work. I was far from knowing that in the end, he would have helped me on a wider and deeper level. Within the first couple of sessions, we worked on new reflexes to integrate in my daily life to manage my stress. It worked: I did change my posture, my behavior, my words and my thoughts when facing difficult situations. But, we did so much more: I was able to identify the roots of my anxiety, to better understand my strengths and weaknesses and also identify my personal (true) aspirations."

    Rym, lawyer

  • “The ability to deliver thought-provoking comments that let me discover the answers or ways of thinking that move my journey along has been amazing.​”

    Stefanie, head of HR
