Pia Ault - Professional Coach (PCC)
Bio
Pia is a sought-after professional coach who helps executives, teams, and individuals achieve their desire to get to the next higher version of themselves. After a three-decade multinational corporate career journey, spanning the US, Europe, and the Middle East, Pia left to start her coaching practice in 2012. Her mission is to meet the clients where they are and bring empathy and emotions to her coaching style, ensuring they feel safe and empowered.
Pia holds certifications and licenses in a variety of areas: ICF accredited Coaching, Emotional intelligence (EQ-i), Resilience Coaching, Organizational Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC), Equine Assisted Coaching and Facilitation, and several other industry-recognized accreditations, so clients can feel assured they are in the right place for their particular challenge. An international MBA and a Master's degree in Social Psychology back her core competencies.
It is Pia's philosophy and conviction that each client is resourceful, whole, and creative and has answers within; a few layers simply need peeling away to get to the core issues.
Pia resides near Malaga, Spain, and is available for virtual or in-person coaching.

Reviews
I have always been skeptical about coaching and have never even considered getting a coach before. But early 2022 I was given the opportunity to meet with Pia and felt great trust in her immediately. She coached me in 10+ sessions and she created an atmosphere that enabled us to have meaningful conversations as well as challenging me to look at myself and at life from new perspectives. Pia will make you discover new things about yourself as well as question your old truths. I am very grateful that I got to meet with Pia and I give her my absolutely strongest recommendations.

Pia has been instrumental in leading me to live a healthier and more purposeful work life today. I don't remember leaving a session with her feeling worse or more confused; at the most, she gave me some uncomfortable homework to do with a little food for thought. Her guidance on the professional front inadvertently benefited me personally, and some of her lessons continue to be my internal compass when at a crossroads. Her style is objective, clear, stern, and yet she hands you the reins to steer yourself. Grateful our paths crossed, and grateful for her — we need more of Pia.

Working in nature with horses and with Pia as coach and facilitator has been one of the most powerful and meaningful experiences for me personally – both as a participant and as an assisting coach and facilitator.
Horses offer immediate and unbiased feedback when you engage with them, this builds self-awareness and insight into how to step into your own authentic power of “consensual leadership” rather than enforced hierarchical power. I have witnessed individual leaders and innovation teams transform and elevate their effectiveness, creative genius and impact after a short time with the herd. It’s something you need to experience to truly understand, but the impact of that learning stays with you forever!

A six-hour day spent interacting and learning in the company of wise horses helped me understand how my behaviors and intent affect my business and customers. Pia’s professional yet down-to-earth approach suited my style; her obvious love for what she does shines through! I would recommend Caballus and Pia in a heartbeat!

Pia’s executive and personal coaching is an adventure trip. She is a talented professional with the expertise to help one overcome any challenge. Her energy guides one to find the proper answers. She has an accurate perception and addresses the questions to help one think outside the box. Pia was the right person at the right time for me!

My coaching sessions with Pia have helped me to not be afraid of looking into myself. It’s a constant practice but I’m now becoming better and better at being true to myself, my values and ambitions.
