Orla Castanien

I am a leader, coach, mom, and human being (not in that order) who has lived, succeeded, failed and changed course throughout my life. Through all of it I learned to evolve – many times over and always for the better.

From becoming a successful CFO to moving to another country, switching careers, starting a business, struggling through fertility issues, becoming an adoptive mom (best decision ever!), and then a painful divorce,  I have been through many transitions…some chosen, some not. "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans"...John Lennon

Over time, I learned to embrace each one as an opportunity to evolve, to get clearer on what I wanted my life to look like. The time spent on reflecting, getting clear and taking action always led me to something better than came before.

The E.V.O.L.V.E. Retreat brings together the empathy and wisdom gained through my life and leadership experience with the concrete and effective approach to change and growth developed during my coaching career. Why? To provide you with the space, time and tools to get clear on the life you want to live and the confidence to create your something better.
