Scaling executive thinking at the speed change demands

Hi, I am Szilvia - Founder of Life Mentor Global

70% of skills are changing by 2030 says LinkedIn. When executives accelerate to meet change, no-one can afford to stay behind. We used to grow into executive thinking over decades. With this pace of change due to Artificial Intelligence, we don't have that long.

That's where I come in.

I make executive-level capabilities accessible to the people who need to execute them, not just the C-suite. Through keynotes, Chief of You, and strategic consulting, I help organisations bridge the gap between vision and velocity.

How to work with me, globally:
Keynote Speaking
I teach executives and leadership teams the skills, frameworks and tools to build alignment and collaboration at pace with a practical lens your teams can implement the next day.

Chief of You
I teach ambitious professionals how to think and operate like executives. Because waiting is a luxury your career can't afford anymore.

Strategic Consulting
I consult companies and embed on a fractional Chief of Staff basis to implement executive priorities across their teams so execution matches ambition. We close the gap so it accelerates your growth.

After 14 years at PwC and 3.5 years at LinkedIn, where I scaled teams, and learnt what actually moves the needle in complex global organisations I came full circle. Back to the entrepreneurial roots that won me a business program at the young age of 13, shaped my degree, and drove every choice since

I’ve been doing this across 21 sectors, for the past 20 years from start-ups to partnering with FTSE10 matrixed environments. AI (& predecessors) advocate since 2013.

Beyond my work, I am also a keen traveller, gardener and dancer.

What I do

I offer strategic partnerships as a Fractional Chief of Staff, PMO consultant, and executive mentor. I bridge executive vision with execution at pace, driving transformation and commercial impact.

I developed a unique expertise in diagnosing and proactively optimising a leader’s entire operational ecosystem to scale their influence.

I remove unseen friction and accelerate business impact by:
- Structure: Creating scalable repeatable processes, including rhythm of the business & governance clarity,
- People: Decision-making focus including delivering executive offsites and stakeholder alignment workshops,
- Impact: Special projects including creating PMOs, CoEs and award-winning programmes, recognition programmes, AI executive upskilling and personal brand and social media for executives and employees workshops.

How I work

This dual approach embodies the most effective leadership: individual mentoring (B2C) and strategic organisational delivery (B2B). From complex transformation to targeted 1:1 mentoring, I build on the same foundations: trust, clarity, and integrity.
