Sonnya Kourteva

Sonnya is the founder of Emplified Solutions and a leadership and transformation coach dedicated to creating engaged, high-performing, and people-centered workplace cultures. With a deep passion for leadership, talent development, and organizational transformation, she partners with executives, professionals, and organizations to unlock potential, foster innovation, and drive meaningful change.

The Journey

Having spent years working with leaders and organizations, she's witnessed a common challenge—many professionals are promoted into leadership roles based on their technical expertise, yet they often lack the preparation and tools to effectively lead, inspire, and cultivate growth in their teams.

She's also found that true, sustainable change happens when leadership is fully committed and models the behaviors they want to see.

She founded Emplified Solutions because she believes that when leaders prioritize employee well-being, engagement, and development, businesses thrive.

Her mission is to equip leaders with the mindset, strategies, and skills to build cultures where employees feel valued, motivated, and empowered to do their best work.

The Coaching Method

Her coaching methodology is deeply rooted in the principles of Applied Positive Psychology and The Mastery Method, focusing on awareness, acceptance, and aligned action. This holistic approach engages clients on somatic, emotional, mental, behavioral, and unconscious levels, facilitating profound and sustainable transformation.

Applied Positive Psychology centers on harnessing individual strengths and fostering positive emotions to enhance overall well-being and performance. By integrating this into coaching, clients experience increased resilience, motivation, and engagement, leading to more effective goal attainment and personal growth.

The Mastery Method complements this by guiding clients through a process of self-discovery and skill development, ensuring that actions are in harmony with personal values and aspirations. This synergy between positive psychology and mastery principles empowers clients to overcome challenges and achieve their highest potential.

By combining these methodologies, she provides a comprehensive coaching experience that not only addresses immediate objectives but also promotes long-term well-being and success.
