Sonia Jeantet, MBA, MPEC
Executive Coach
Sonia has coached President’s, CFO’s, COO’s, Senior Strategic leaders and their teams at Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial companies. Her clients include Yum Brands, Toyota, Toshiba, Gilead Sciences, ConAgra, Unified Western Grocers, Pacific Sunwear, CBS, Excellence in Motivation, Insight Health Corp, Paychex and many entrepreneurs. Sonia’s clients value her focus on personal and team performance optimization, goal setting and accountability.
Sonia Jeantet is the founder and president of Cima Executive Development, a Leadership Coaching and Consulting firm in Southern California firm for the past 11 years. Sonia’s business experience includes leading and managing business development, sales relationships and teams during her 18-year career in Technology at Hewlett Packard and Digital Equipment Corporation. Her background provides unique leverage to the results of leaders with rapidly increasing responsibilities, changing organization circumstances, creating new team dynamics for Senior Leadership Teams.
Sonia’s clients achieve their results because she applies and blends:
• Best Practices Leadership to create a “coaching” high performance culture
• Communication process that builds understanding around a clear set of joint priorities
• The key ingredients for high performance team operating guidelines.
Sonia believes and demonstrates that drawing the connection between Emotional Intelligence traits and business success is a critical tool in coaching. Successful business planning and execution today, requires a “global” outlook and cultural emotional intelligence. Sonia’s international background (grew up in South America) and education provide her coaching clients with enhanced awareness and provides them with tailored “re-framing” scenarios and techniques to make the most of their diverse teams and environments.
Sonia is especially skilled in helping leaders understand the key emotional Intelligence competencies that improve relationship building and are the building blocks for effective leadership skills in both individuals and teams.
“When I engaged Sonia as a coach, my immediate challenge was effectively retooling for growth in our business space. My approach to implementing change prior to the coaching would have:
1. Created some dissonance that would have impacted the role and contribution that could be made by my high performance contributors.
2. It would not have allowed those in need of development to best understand what was now required from them by the organization.
Sonia helped me evaluate the situation, the resources, the people and based on that create a plan that would optimize the timing and approach for alignment. I have learned that I could apply game changing tools to the responsibility of a leader to create sustainable competitive advantages that drive ownership/shareholder value. Incorporating emotional intelligence practices to my decision making provided the foundation so that the changes we needed to implement would reflect a positive shift and allow for buy in and team work.”
