Elevating Leadership 
in Healthcare & Life Sciences

Porträt Zuzana Dobbie, Founder of zeta solutions; coching & consulting in Healthcare & Life Sciences, Basel

«The single greatest lever in any organization is the quality of its leadership and the cohesion of its teams. No strategy, product, or process outperforms the human system running it.

 

The growth that becomes possible when leaders are given a truly trusted, candid, and expertly held space – that is, in my experience, extraordinary.»

“I worked with Zuzana on a major organisational change initiative. Zuzana was a thought partner and coach to myself and our team as we worked through the design process of a highly complex and potentially unpopular change in operating model. She was great at supporting us to come together as a team, challenging our thinking, and guiding us to a meaningful outcome that resonated positively with our stakeholders. The depth and breadth of her corporate experience was enormously helpful in getting right into the important work. I would highly recommend Zuzana for either 1:1 or Team Coaching.” 
 
B.S., Global Group Leader, big pharma global
“I've enjoyed the luxury of working with Zuzana for the past 1.5 years - both virtually and in-person. Zuzana's coaching has been central to my career development. Middle management in a big pharma affiliate can be isolating and opaque, but Zuzana brought clarity, structure and confidence to my decision-making. She has supported me to sharpen my understanding of my own ambitions and values, strategically evaluate career options and internal moves whilst navigating internal politics and stakeholder dynamics effectively. Moreover, she's helped me reconnect with my long-term goals and actively shape my next steps. Her insights into the pharma world are spot-on and her ability to challenge with empathy made all the difference. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to accelerate their career and self-awareness in alignment with personal values and long-term goals.” 
T.JC., Lead Innovation and Evidence, big pharma affiliate
“From the beginning, Zuzana has been an exemplary professional and a truly supportive coach. She exhibits the highest level of empathy and brings a genuine desire to help people improve their lives. Through asking excellent questions and engaging in deep discussions that are always structured and on target, she helps me grow my self-awareness and opens new inspiring perspectives on my situation. Another key achievement of our collaboration is that I have improved my communication abilities and gained greater courage to make choices and take practical steps toward my goals.”
D.S., Medical Affairs Lead, big pharma global
“Zuzana has served as a coach for a number of our teams. She has an inclusive and challenging style that helps both the individuals and the team to think deeply, to work through the things that are holding them back and to identify a path forward. She ensures we do not shy away from the difficult discussions and helps ensure we find a path forward.”
A.T., Senior Vice President, big pharma global
“Working with Zuzana as an Executive Coach has been incredibly transformative for me. Her warm and supportive approach creates a space where I feel safe and empowered as a leader. She’s helped me to reframe multiple challenges and approach corporate problem-solving with insightful perspective.”
J.DR., Chief Product Officer, biotech start-up
