About the Coach
I'm Dinusha Koggalahewa, an Executive Coach and certified Master Transformational Coach based in Auckland, New Zealand.


I work with clients across New Zealand and Australia, as well as international clients in compatible time zones. My coaching sessions are conducted in English via live video calls (Google Meets).
Prior to coaching, I spent nearly two decades in corporate real estate supporting critical systems and engineering operations. I specialised in functional and people leadership, risk management, and driving sustainable performance in high-pressure environments (Investment Banking and Data Centre).
My corporate career taught me how to turn chaos into clarity. A skill I now channel into coaching technical leaders to achieve transformative results with their teams.
My Coaching Style
A Calming Presence and Ability to Build Trust: I cultivate a calm, supportive atmosphere, allowing clients to build trust and open up without feeling rushed;
Creating and Holding Space: I provide space for clients to reflect deeply while maintaining a balanced structure to keep them grounded and focused;
Refined Listening and Observation Skills: My honed ability to listen and observe helps clients see themselves more clearly and understand how they interact with their environment;
Integrating Science and Intuition: I combine the science of coaching, positive psychology, intuition, and emotional intelligence to guide clients toward discovering what they may not yet see. This approach helps them gain self-awareness and chart their own path forward;
Getting to the Root of Issues: Through thoughtful questioning and deep understanding, I help clients uncover the core of their challenges and identify sustainable solutions;
