MEET YOUR COACH

I’m Alex Salazar

I’m a certified executive coach, leadership advisor, and speaker with 25+ years across HR, talent and leadership, including a decade leading enterprise talent work at The Walt Disney Company.

I help corporate executives and leadership teams make wise decisions about people and themselves, and organizations navigate the human challenges that come with growth and change.

Often, that begins when leadership feels heavier than it used to; when the stakes feel higher than usual, organizations and their people are navigating greater complexity, change only continues to accelerate, or a leader starts questioning what’s next.

My work is grounded in a simple belief: the hardest leadership challenges are rarely technical. They are human.

COACHING WHEN SITUATIONS CALL FOR IT

Does this sound like you?

“I need to position my career with intention, in a way that honors my journey, goals & abilities.”
“I’m facing a situational fire and want thought partnership and/or guidance navigating politics and ambiguity.”
“l’m stepping into a bigger role and want feedback on how to show up in this season in order to make the best impact possible.”
“I need defined action and conviction for high-stakes decisions that will impact my team, organization, or career.”
“I’m ready for something different, but I don’t have a clear direction yet.”
“My leadership team needs to show up stronger, stand united, and be more consistent.”
“My company is scaling fast and I fear we’re losing the culture and essence of what I’ve built.”

He helped me define my core values, challenge assumptions, and more effectively evaluate opportunities against long-term priorities. Rather than prescribing a path, he strengthened my ability to make sound decisions, resulting in stronger judgment, and increased confidence in navigating my choices. I would recommend Alex to any leader seeking to improve how they think, decide, and lead their career.

Alex didn’t just help me think about my next role; he helped me build the tools to evaluate opportunities more effectively and make decisions with greater confidence.
