Masha Young

Masha is a passionate and dedicated coach who specialises in helping people to create and achieve their goals and design their life based on their values and life purpose.

With international coaching experience extending to Dubai, France, the UK, Taiwan and Australia, Masha has coached clients from all walks of life including entrepreneurs, senior executives, stock market traders, stay at home mums, working professionals and students.

Masha has an honours degree in Modern European Languages from the University of Durham. She coaches confidently in both French and English and speaks several other languages fluently. She has lived and worked in the UK, France, Italy, Greece, Israel and now calls Australia home.

Before becoming an accredited coach with Noble Manhattan Coaching Academy, Europe’s leading coach training organisation, Masha spent ten years working for companies such as Chanel, Accenture, Astra Zeneca, Harrods and the Commonwealth Games and as a result has a good understanding of the challenges facing individuals working in organisations and in their own businesses.

Masha’s coaching approach is founded on the great rapport she builds with her clients. She is fun, energetic, confident and caring. She uses her outstanding listening and intuitive skills to assist her clients in achieving results they previously thought were unattainable.

Masha uses established coaching tools to assist her clients to commence honest reflection. This allows them to unleash their core beliefs and inner desires, and gives them the ability to develop into the people they strive to be. Masha helps her clients to achieve their goals by helping them to overcome hindrances such as procrastination, blockages, poor confidence and self-esteem.

When Masha is not coaching she enjoys traveling far and wide and participating in activities that take her out of her comfort zone. These have included stroking Cheetahs in the wild, doing the world’s biggest bungee jump, walking on hot coals and swimming with the whale sharks. When at home, she practices Yoga, likes to swim and oil paint.

“Brave is a vibrant and dynamic place to be – a place where things really happen. Before I started the Brave Coaching process, I knew there was potential areas that I wanted to develop professionally in terms of my leadership and management skills but I didn’t know where to begin or how to get there – it all seemed like a big unknown. My coach Masha took a very holistic approach, and we looked into all areas of my life to see what obstacles and fears were getting in the way of achieving my dreams. Although these sessions were challenging and at times confronting, they were also exciting as it felt like we were unraveling what it was that was making me tick. We looked at colleague and client feedback which helped me see where my strengths lay and the areas that needed further development – I found this process very meaningful and useful . Masha was totally unfaltering in her support and is an extremely creative thinker, each week throwing out new challenges which were tangible and within my reach. We also had quite a lot of fun and shared some great laughs along the way such as writing on the blackboard wall and chilling out on beanbags which really helped me in the creative process. It is unbelievable when I look back as to how far I have come – the sessions with Brave have given me strength, confidence and new skills in the workplace which have helped me to take my career to new heights. Masha, thank you once again – you are truly special lady.”

“Masha is a standout individual… She is an enthusiastic and warm person and this atmosphere is also a factor in her persona as a coach. We worked together online, via skype, and her warmth came through even via this distance method. Masha made some very insightful comments indeed after she got to know me - I was very impressed and surprised at how she seemed to get a read on my inner goings on. Also she was a very humane rather than disembodied persona, which worked well for my particular personality type. Results!!! Results came quickly, and this gave me a lot of confidence in the work we were attempting. I rapidly made the transition from wanting to believe in coaching to actually believing deeply in the process very quickly.”

“…I was incredibly impressed with your capacity to listen, to discern and to assimilate, not only do I feel you pay attention when I am speaking but during future sessions the true extent you pay attention comes to light when you impressively make allusion to things I have verbalised during previous sessions and then ask relevant questions…” “…I truly want you to be aware of the positive influence your coaching sessions have had in my life. Furthermore, thanks to our coaching sessions I’ve learnt to “auto-coach” myself systematically which is proving to be very useful. I already envy your future clients!"
