Noushin Dunkelman, BS BME

With 35 years of experience in the life sciences industry, including 25 years in scientific leadership roles and 10 years mentoring and coaching technical leaders, I understand the realities of leadership, the challenges, the pressures, and the skills required to lead effectively. Having navigated this path myself, I provide practical, experience-based coaching tailored to the needs of both established and emerging leaders, to confidently navigate the complexities of their roles.

Coaching and Mentoring Approach

Leadership doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s about navigating relationships, influencing others, and fostering collaboration in an ongoing basis. I help leaders understand their role within their organization and equip them with the tools and skills needed to lead effectively through influence, navigate organizational dynamics, and build accountability and collaboration at all levels. Through coaching, I serve as a thought partner, offering practical strategies and tools to help leaders build confidence, cultivate a thriving team environment, and create a meaningful impact on their company’s success.

Coaching Focus Areas

• Leadership Influence and Presence – Gain the skills to communicate with credibility, inspire confidence, and position yourself as a trusted leader.
• Navigating Leadership Relationships – Strengthen relationships with peers, direct reports, and senior leaders to enhance alignment and influence. Adapt communication styles to engage with different audiences.
• Conflict Resolution and Team Dynamic – Learn to navigate difficult conversations, provide feedback, build trust, and create a culture of openness and accountability.
• Building and Leading High-Performing Teams – Setting clear expectations, delegating effectively, and developing strategies to foster engagement, interdependency, and shared accountability to drive team success.

Through tailored coaching, I support leaders in overcoming challenges, refining their leadership style, and developing practices that empower both themselves and their teams. By applying practical tools and honing key skills, they learn to lead with authenticity and embrace a growth mindset, enabling them to continue learning and thriving as leaders.
