A bit about me …

I'm Meg Zirger, a PCC-certified executive and leadership coach based in Barcelona, working in English and Spanish.

I've always been fascinated by why people do what they do.

Why we put off the hard conversation for weeks. Why we take on everything ourselves because letting go feels risky.

Why the smart, capable leader we know we are sometimes disappears when the stakes get high!

A lot of it comes down to patterns: habits learned over time, instincts built to protect us that end up keeping us playing small.

Most of my clients know what they want to change. They just can't yet see why it keeps happening, or how to actually shift it.

With a background in education and over 1,500 hours of coaching, I work with leaders navigating more responsibility, greater complexity, or higher visibility — on conversations they've been avoiding, decisions that feel stuck, and team dynamics they keep circling.

  • “I was navigating a difficult team dynamic and found myself reacting in key conversations. The work I did with Meg helped me approach those situations differently, and set clearer boundaries. Immediately, the conversations felt much more constructive and I felt better about how I was navigating it all.”

    — Senior Leader, Professional Services

  • “Stepping into a more senior role, I didn’t feel fully confident in how I was showing up as a leader. There was a lot of second-guessing myself and overthinking even outside of work. We got very specific about the areas I needed to strengthen, from how I communicated to how I made decisions. It took some time, but I have become more direct, trust my judgment, and am showing up with more confidence, both with direct reports and senior stakeholders.”

    — Manager, Healthcare Tech

  • “I was facing a few high-stakes decisions about the direction of the business and kept spinning my wheels. I also wasn’t always clear in how I communicated those decisions to the team. Coaching helped me step back, get clear on the direction, and communicate it with more confidence. It changed how I was operating day to day.”
