Venczel Judit
executive business coach, mediator, consultant
More than two decades of international leadership experience, combined with French–Hungarian executive coach training, have shaped the way I work today with leaders and organisations.
For twenty-two years, I led the Hungarian subsidiary of a French company. I grew the business from a small team into a nationwide organisation, adapting the way a large international company operates to the realities of a Hungarian SME. This gave me first-hand experience of both worlds: the structures and expectations of a multinational organisation, and the very different day-to-day realities faced by leaders of smaller businesses.
Along the way, I experienced every stage that comes with growing a business: the point at which a leader’s personal involvement is no longer enough, new managers need to step up, decisions have to be delegated, responsibilities redistributed and structures put in place – and, from time to time, the leader also has to rethink how they lead.
Those twenty-two years still shape the work I do today.
I know what it means to be the person making the decisions, carrying the responsibility, leading people through change and sometimes having to move forward without having all the answers.
Today, I work with leaders and organisations as an executive business coach, leadership and organisational development consultant, and business mediator.
Alongside my leadership experience, I trained as an executive coach in Budapest and Paris and later qualified as a business mediator.
Since 2020, I have worked with more than 50 Hungarian and international companies and over 100 leaders and managers. My work has covered a wide range of business and leadership situations, including succession and leadership transitions, building new management teams, organisational restructuring, redesigning how organisations work, improving sales performance, resolving conflict and individual leadership development.
My career has been shaped by both French and Central and Eastern European business cultures, and I continue to work across both today.
Working with me
Leaders usually come to me with something specific: a difficult decision, a conflict, something that has become stuck, or simply a sense that something isn’t working, without being quite sure why.
They start talking. About people, decisions, situations. As they do, I start putting the pieces together.
I listen for what keeps coming up, where things don’t quite add up, what isn’t being said, and how the way a leader operates connects with what is happening around them. Very often, the real issue turns out to be somewhere other than where we first thought it was.
I reflect back what I see, connect things that may have seemed unrelated, and help make sense of what is really going on.
Because before you can make a good decision, you need to know what you’re actually deciding about.
Clients often tell me that they leave with a much clearer view of themselves, their leadership style and the environment around them. And years later, many of them can still recall specific sentences from our conversations.

Promoting French coaching culture in Hungary
I am deeply inspired by the depth, ethical standards and human-centered approach of coaching as it is practiced in France.
As part of my commitment to bringing this mindset to Hungary, I collaborate with Z-Press Publishing to translate French coaching books and self-reflection workbooks into Hungarian.
These translations aim to introduce powerful tools and perspectives that are still little known in Hungary, making them accessible to local coaches, leaders, and professionals.
For me, translation is not just a linguistic task – it’s a form of cultural mediation.
A way to build bridges between practices, and to enrich both the local coaching scene and my own professional approach.
