If you are looking for an ICF certified executive coach in Madrid with real management experience and availability both in person and online, you are in the right place.
I am Diego Antoñanzas de Toledo, ICF ACC certified executive coach, trained at the European Coaching School in Madrid. I work with senior leaders, middle managers and professionals who want to overcome a specific challenge: leading more effectively, making decisions with greater clarity, managing their team or facing an important professional transition.
Why an ICF certified executive coach in Madrid?
The coaching market in Spain is full of people who call themselves “coaches” with no accredited training whatsoever. The ICF ACC (Associate Certified Coach) certification guarantees an internationally recognised ethical and methodological standard: more than 60 hours of specific training, more than 100 hours of real practice with clients, and competency assessment by an independent body.
When you are looking for an executive coach to face a real professional challenge, certification matters. But so does management experience: more than 20 years leading teams and brands in multinationals such as Heineken España and Siemens España allow me to understand your reality from the inside, not from theory.
In-person executive coaching in Madrid city centre
I have my own office in Madrid city centre (Opera area), with easy access by metro and public transport. In-person sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes in a private, discreet space designed for professional conversation.
If you prefer online sessions, I work with Zoom Premium with no time limit, with the same quality and confidentiality as in-person sessions. Also available throughout Spain and internationally.
What challenges is executive coaching in Madrid useful for?
- Leadership and team management — when your team is not performing at the level you need and you are not sure exactly why.
- Decision-making — when you need to make an important decision and cannot find clarity.
- Executive communication — when you know what you want to say but cannot achieve the impact you are looking for.
- Stress and time management — when your workload is starting to affect your performance and wellbeing.
- Career change or new role — when you want to take an important step and need to get it right.
- Public speaking — when presentations or meetings with senior management cause you to freeze.
How an executive coaching process works
The standard process consists of 4 to 6 individual sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, on a fortnightly or monthly basis. It always begins with a free 30-minute telephone conversation to assess whether coaching is the right tool for your situation.
The entire process is protected by a strict confidentiality agreement under the ICF code of ethics. Nothing discussed in the sessions leaves the room.

Frequently asked questions about executive coaching in Madrid
How long does an executive coaching process last?
Between 4 and 6 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, on a fortnightly or monthly basis. Most challenges are resolved within that timeframe.
Are the sessions in person or can they be done online?
Both options are available. In person in Madrid city centre (Opera area) or online via Zoom Premium with no time limit.
What is the difference between an executive coach and a psychologist?
Coaching works with the present and the professional future. It is not therapy and does not address the emotional past. The coach does not give advice — they ask questions that help the client find their own answers.
Is confidentiality guaranteed?
Yes, absolutely. All sessions are protected by a confidentiality agreement and the ICF code of ethics.
