I am Lucie Kováčová

Lawyer and Legal Director in an international company. I have extensive experience leading a team of 50 professionals and currently oversee legal matters across eight countries. I serve as a Managing Director and Board Member and am a former Chairwoman of a Foundation’s Board of Trustees. I was ranked 5th among the most powerful women in the corporate world by Forbes Slovakia, recognized as a Leading In-House Lawyer by Právní rádce, and, based on feedback from my mentees, awarded Femme Palette Mentor of the Year in the category Career and Personal Development.

I am also a mentor, advisor, and coach, and a member of the Institute of Coaching affiliated with McLean Hospital, a partner organization of Harvard Medical School. In my coaching and mentoring work, I find it most effective to combine formal coaching education, senior corporate experience, and many years of hands-on people leadership.

I am a certified fitness trainer, passionate about pilates and barre, and actively promote the importance of movement and its impact on quality of life.

I also focus strongly on mental well-being. In today’s world, we train our bodies constantly, but far fewer people train their minds or pay attention to their inner world. I strongly disagree with the belief that an old dog can’t learn new tricks. I believe everything starts with self-awareness and mindset, and I live by the principle that “mood follows action.” What we do shapes our thoughts, emotions, worldview, and self-perception. By changing our behavior, we can also change how we feel — for example, by building stronger self-confidence or greater inner discipline.
