ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Kamila.
Career coach. HR leader for 17 years. And the person who'll tell you, kindly and straight, what's really holding you back.
MY STORY
From waitress to HR manager in two weeks
I started out as a waitress, with no HR experience and no qualifications. I told my boss I wanted the HR manager's job. I kept showing up, and two weeks later the offer came by phone. I went out and bought a suit to look the part.
That was the start of 17 years in HR, people and culture, organisational design and leadership development. I've worked in corporate roles across Asia-Pacific and Europe, and I climbed that ladder myself, one role at a time.
For the last 8 years, alongside my corporate career, I've also run Kamila Pereira Consulting. I coach people one-on-one online, mostly on their careers. I run workshops and training, and I've done leadership, executive and business coaching inside the organisations I worked for. The two have always run side by side.
WHAT I LEARNED
What 17 years on the hiring side taught me
I've sat in the interviews. I've seen who gets promoted, who gets overlooked and who quietly stays stuck for years.
Here's what I learned: the people who move forward get clear on what they want, and they say it out loud. Often they're not even the most qualified person in the room.
That's why my coaching is practical. Real steps, real tools, and someone who checks you're actually doing the work.
WHO I WORK WITH
Ambitious, good at what they do, and stuck
My clients are professionals who already know their stuff. They're just stuck where they are, often for months. Usually they want one of four things:
The promotion they know they're ready for, and the confidence to ask for it
A move to a better company, team or manager
A whole new career
Something of their own: flexible work that fits around family and still brings money in
