Gábor Kőrös
Throughout my career, I have worked with companies of various sizes and cultures, ranging from multinational corporations to fintech startups. My work and studies have taken me to France, London, and Luxembourg, where I gained deep insights into different business and cultural environments.
In my roles, I have led mergers and acquisitions (M&A) projects, managed corporate innovation and IT initiatives, and worked as a financial trader in the FX, futures, and options markets. Through close collaboration with people, I have learned that success is determined not only by a solid strategy but also by the alignment of teams and individuals.
My key achievements include earning the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, one of the most prestigious certifications in the financial industry, as well as obtaining an MBA from Bayes Business School in London, where I specialized in strategy, business models, and M&A. Additionally, I hold a Hungarian economics degree from the Budapest Business University and a French economics and management degree from Université de Picardie Jules Verne.
Beyond my professional career, creative self-expression is also important to me. I am passionate about street photography, which captures the extraordinary moments of everyday life. I have walked the Camino de Santiago four times, each journey offering profound, life-shaping experiences. Furthermore, I regularly practice zazen meditation, which helps me maintain inner balance and focus.
Real Stories, Real Growth
-
"Gábor is thorough and responsive, providing clear guidance at the beginning of each conversation so that his discussion partner knows what to expect from the collaboration. During the sessions, I felt that the boundaries were clearly defined and well maintained. This helped me stay more focused, making it easier to articulate my thoughts in a structured way rather than jumping between topics. For me, these aspects made our work together feel both trustworthy and safe."

"Gábor always listened attentively and responded with understanding to my thoughts, offering an ethical and objective perspective. His optimistic and positive attitude helped me develop new viewpoints. His personality reflects both professionalism and a friendly, approachable nature, creating a comfortable and trusting environment for communication. The questions Gábor asked often sparked self-reflective thoughts that stayed with me throughout the week. He helped me change my approach to challenging situations, enabling me to handle problems more objectively, define them more clearly, and use self-inquiry to better consider what methods or adjustments could help me overcome obstacles."

"I've been thinking about a career change for a long time, but I haven't really managed to do much about it. I've been rushing around, jumping from plan to plan and always feeling that whatever I do/learn is not enough. Thinking back to the first time after 5 sessions: with a lot of stress, total cluelessness, almost hopelessness, I started a coaching conversation with Gábor. During our work together, we managed to talk through all my worries and fears, he helped me to plan. By the end of the coaching, I was able to take a serious step forward and start my new journey much more prepared, calm and focused."

Coaching is a structured, goal-oriented conversation that helps you gain clarity, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change in your life or career. Unlike consulting or therapy, coaching focuses on the present and future, empowering you to find your own answers and take action. As a coach, I provide support and the right tools and questions to help you unlock your full potential.
-
Coaching and therapy serve different purposes. Therapy focuses on healing past experiences, emotional struggles, and mental health challenges, often addressing trauma or deep-seated patterns. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused and action-oriented, helping you set goals, build self-awareness, and create positive change in your personal or professional life. Coaching is best for individuals who are ready to move forward and take steps toward growth.
-
Coaching, mentoring, and consulting all support personal and professional growth but in different ways.
• Coaching is a structured, goal-oriented process where I help you explore your own answers, build self-awareness, and take action. It’s about asking the right questions rather than giving direct advice.
• Mentoring involves guidance from someone with experience in a specific field. As a mentor, I share insights, lessons, and perspectives to help you navigate challenges.
• Consulting is more directive—consultants analyze problems and provide specific solutions or strategies.
In my services, I offer both coaching and mentoring, depending on your needs, to support your self-leadership, career, or business journey.

A session takes place online via Zoom and typically lasts between 40-60 minutes. Depending on your needs, it can be a coaching or mentoring session.
In a coaching session, we start by defining the topic and goal, then work towards finding solutions. A key part of the process is translating insights into action, so we usually create an action plan to help you move forward. Self-reflection is also encouraged during the session to deepen your awareness and understanding.
Mentoring sessions provide more guidance and insights based on my experience, helping you navigate challenges and make informed decisions. Each session is tailored to best support your growth and progress.

To get the most out of a session, it’s helpful to come with an open mind and a willingness to engage in self-reflection. Here are a few tips to prepare:
1. Clarify your goals: Think about what you want to focus on or achieve in the session. This could be a specific challenge, decision, or area of growth.
2. Reflect on your progress: Consider any insights, challenges, or actions since your last session, if applicable.
3. Be ready to take action: Coaching often involves creating action plans. Prepare to think about next steps and how you can apply new insights in your life or work.
4. Set up a quiet space: Ensure you have a distraction-free environment for the session, allowing for a clear and focused conversation.
Ultimately, preparing means being ready to be open, honest, and reflective, which will help maximize the value of our time together.
-
A typical coaching engagement lasts between 5 to 10 sessions, depending on your goals and the specific areas we’re working on. Each session builds on the progress from the previous one, helping you move forward with clarity and purpose. The duration can be adjusted based on your needs, and after completing the initial sessions, we can reassess whether you’d like to continue or focus on new goals. Coaching is flexible and can be tailored to support your personal or professional journey.

My coaching approach combines several methodologies to provide a holistic and effective experience. I draw from:
1. Ontological Coaching: This approach focuses on exploring how your beliefs, emotions, and language shape your experience of the world, helping you shift your perspective and create new possibilities.
2. Solution-Focused Coaching: I help you focus on finding practical solutions and actionable steps, rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. This method encourages forward momentum and helps you harness your strengths to achieve your goals.
3. Values-Based Coaching: Together, we explore what truly matters to you, ensuring that your actions and decisions align with your core values and bring more fulfillment in your life.
4. Transactional Analysis Coaching: This method helps uncover and understand the dynamics of communication and behavior patterns. By exploring how past experiences influence present actions, we work to create healthier and more effective relationships, both with yourself and others.
This blend of approaches allows me to adapt to your unique needs and provide a personalized coaching experience that promotes lasting change and growth.
