Helping leaders find clarity, confidence and their own way forward.
I'm Johanna Grosgurin — executive and team coach, coaching supervisor, and the founder of Your Favorite Coach. For over 20 years, I've been supporting leaders, teams and professional coaches at pivotal moments.
LET'S TALK →
From the business world
to the human side of leadership.
My professional journey began in international business, marketing and management development. Working with organisations across different industries and cultures gave me a first-hand understanding of the pressures and complexities that come with leadership.
It was through management development consulting that I discovered coaching. I was drawn to the opportunity to support people not only in what they achieve, but also in how they grow, think and relate to others.
In 2007, I founded Your Favorite Coach to pursue that work independently.
Today, I continue to find meaning in helping leaders navigate transitions, strengthen their relationships and discover new ways of approaching familiar challenges.
A space to think.
The confidence to move forward.
I believe meaningful development begins with the opportunity to pause, reflect and see things differently.
In demanding professional environments, leaders rarely have enough time to step away from immediate priorities and explore what is really happening beneath the surface.
My approach combines attentive listening, thoughtful questions and constructive challenge. I aim to create an environment where you can speak openly, question assumptions and explore possibilities without judgement.
There are no ready-made answers or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every person, team and situation is different.
It's often in a different perspective that new possibilities emerge.
Different challenges.
A shared desire to grow.

A European perspective,
an international mindset.
Originally from Finland, I've built my professional and personal life across cultures and borders. Living near Geneva and working with international companies across Europe, the United States and occasionally Africa has shaped the way I understand leadership, communication and human relationships.
I know that leading across cultures requires more than technical competence. It calls for curiosity, adaptability and the ability to understand perspectives different from our own.
I bring that international perspective to every coaching relationship, while remaining attentive to the individual behind the professional role.
