Career and leadership coaching for internationals in the Netherlands
Hi, I'm Luba Fateeva,

I am an expat with 20+ years inside international organisations and Dutch public-sector, based in The Hague. I know from the inside how careers really move in international companies, and what it takes to be heard in a culture that isn't your own. Today I'm an executive and career coach. I've worked with more than 300 clients, including executives and founders, and I host the video podcast No Map, Lead Anyway on leadership transitions. My clients say I see through things quickly and say what I see. That's the point.

Credentials:

  • ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
  • Trained at the Academy of Executive Coaching, London
  • Institute of Cognitive Meta Programming
  • Master's degree in Communications
  • Coaching in English, Dutch, Russian

You've built a strong career. Now you want the next step: a promotion, a new role or a seat at the decision-making table. I help you get there in a system whose rules nobody explains to you.
Feeling stuck at the same level
You deliver results, but promotions go to colleagues who are more visible.

You are looking for your next role in EU
You send applications but the job market works differently here
You are a newly appointed leader
Your first months decide how you'll be seen, and you want to get them right.
Feeling like an outsider
Directness, consensus, the unwritten rules of Dutch workplaces: you sense them, but nobody explains them.

My proven and practical 5 steps method is for mid career and C-level professionals, especially women in international companies, who want to grow their careers abroad without losing who they are.

What clients say about me
Question:
Do you guarantee the results?
Answer:
No coach can honestly guarantee a promotion or a job offer. Those decisions are made by employers, and the ICF Code of Ethics doesn’t allow coaches to promise outcomes they don’t control. What I do guarantee is my part: a clear plan built around your goal, full attention and honest feedback in every session, and a structured method we follow together. At the start we agree on what success looks like for you, so we can both see the progress.
Question:
Can you help with job search strategy, LinkedIn and CV?
Answer:
Yes. Practical support with CV, LinkedIn and personal branding as well as networking strategies and interview skills can all be part of the process, especially when you want to present yourself more clearly and strongly in the Dutch job market.
