Why we do what we do?
We have seen how high-potential can go to waste if it's not supported the right way and we want to change the world for the better - one drop at a time! In other words, our conviction is that human nature, supported in the right way, transforms into a catalyst for greater well-being and prosperity for all of us.
The need for significant change in how human talent and potential are enhanced, and psychologically strenghtened is evident to us. This is why ILC's founder created a practice that makes a genuine difference in the
domain of high-performers.
The company was founded in 2014 as sole trading practice in London, initially under the name “In a Life Coaching”, with a vision of not only help the discovery and realization of people's true aspirations but also with the aim to prevent burnouts, identity crises and health issues caused by stress.
Ever since we've walked side by side all individuals & companies that dared to explore new horizons in performance and continue to challenge ourselves to consistently give more value.
Born from a mission that hasn't changed throughout the years, we are stronger with each client we serve.
“You are either disrupting yourself, or someone else is. Sitting still equals death.ˮ

Why Systemic Team Coaching?
Now, more than ever, organizations are aiming to encourage the best performance from their teams in order to respond effectively to unprecedented change in the world.
Systemic Team Coaching® provides a richer, more sustainable transformation than other forms of team or group development.
The Question Is - are you a team, a working group, or a meeting of individuals?
Our Team coaching intervention will help you gain clarity and direction.
Breakthroughs from Team Coaching
Teams are defined by their Purpose, Role, and Context rather than team members. The result of Team Coaching is: 1. A functional team, where before was just a group of individuals and 2. a high-value creating team, in case your current team is simply a high-performing one.
The value of coaching your teams is two-pronged:
1. Team Level:
1. Clear collective purpose created through collaboration and shared collectively
2. Purpose turned into a clear strategy, measurable goals, KPIs and processes
3. Team behaviours and operations transformed to serve KPIs and purpose
4. Value created through enhanced stakeholder connections
5. Learning attitude embedded in all operations and behaviours
2. Individual Level:
1. Systemic awareness and thinking
2. From reacting to responding
3. From chasing problems to addressing the deeper roots of the collective challenges
4. Growth through coaching attitude – both within the team and between a team and its stakeholders and between stakeholders
