BILL ADAMS Co-Founder, Chair and CEO LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE
“I've always believed that being driven and seizing opportunities is key to growth. Putting in the effort and charging forward has opened many doors in my journey. However, I've come to realize that in our pursuit of excellence, it's possible to unintentionally bulldoze over others—often without even noticing in the moment. Just recently I was reminded of this during a fantastic team-building workshop where Mireia Mujika Irusta guided us gently towards that mirror of self-reflection —amongst other things. She helped me to see not only how far we've come, what potential we have going forward, but also how our actions impact those around us. It's a reminder that while ambition fuels success, empathy and collaboration need to be elements along the way - all the time. I can’t recommend a session/workshop with Mireia at Bare&Brave enough—what a powerhouse of a personality and incredible guidance! An experience your company or team shouldn’t miss.”

“Over the course of our sessions, I experienced meaningful shifts, both personally and professionally. Here are a few highlights: 1- Improved Communication Skills: One of the most practical takeaways was that I joined Toastmasters. It provided me with a structured environment to build my communication confidence and practice public speaking, which helped me step out of my comfort zone and engage more effectively with others. 2- Deeper Understanding of My Leadership Style: The Leadership Circle Profile tool was especially helpful in giving me a clearer picture of my natural leadership tendencies—both strengths and areas for development. It helped me reflect on how I balance task focus with relationship-building and how these patterns influence my approach with my team. 3- What Stood Out Most: Your coaching style stood out for being supportive, thoughtful, and judgment-free. I always felt I had a safe space to speak openly and reflect, and your questions helped me uncover insights I might not have reached on my own. 4- Your Coaching Approach: I would describe your style as human-centered and empowering. You listen deeply, ask the right questions at the right moments, and create space for personal growth without ever imposing your perspective. I’m truly grateful for the experience and the clarity I gained through our sessions. Wishing you all the best as you continue to support leaders and teams in their development.”

I am pleased to share my experience working with Mireia. Since we embarked on our coaching journey, I have observed significant improvements in my professional life. One notable outcome from our sessions has been an enhancement in my confidence and my ability to connect more effectively with both peers and subordinates. This achievement not only reflects my personal growth but also highlights the effectiveness of Mireia's guidance. What impressed me most during our sessions was Mireia’s distinctive coaching style, which resembled an informal conversation infused with studies, tools, and references that supported our discussions. Each session was tailored to my specific needs and aspirations, making the experience profoundly impactful. I would characterize Mireia's approach as insightful, supportive, empowering, and strategic. She adeptly adjusts the coaching style and conversation to align with my preferences and the topics we address. Mireia’s skill in active listening and providing constructive feedback has created an environment where I can thrive and reach my full potential.

“Working with you was exactly what I needed at a time when my mind was overflowing with thoughts and decisions. We had four monthly sessions, and each one brought so much clarity. You didn’t give me answers—you helped me find them myself by asking the kind of questions that made everything suddenly make sense. What I appreciated most is how well you understand people. Even when I didn’t know what to talk about, you’d refer to assessments I had done or guide me through reflections that revealed patterns in my thinking. It wasn’t just about leadership—it was about understanding myself better. You’re not just a coach—you’re a leader’s leader. I’d wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone in a leadership role navigating growth, change, or simply needing space to think. Your deep coaching expertise make you incredibly effective for high performers who want clarity, confidence, and sustainable impact.

SALEH ALOMAIR Enterprise Solutions Director THE ROYAL COMMISSION FOR ALULA - KSA
Working with you has been a truly transformative experience. Your coaching helped me gain greater clarity and confidence in my leadership style, which in turn has had a measurable impact on both my performance and my team’s cohesion. One of the most valuable aspects of our sessions was how you created a space that was both challenging and supportive—pushing me to confront blind spots while also encouraging growth with empathy and insight. Your ability to ask the right questions, listen deeply, and guide without prescribing made each session feel incredibly tailored and purposeful. As a result, I’ve become more strategic in my decision-making, more effective in communicating with my team, and more intentional in how I show up as a leader. Your approach is practical, thoughtful, and grounded in real-world leadership dynamics. I would highly recommend your coaching to anyone looking to unlock their full potential and lead with greater impact. And most importantly, I truly appreciated your remarkable ability to listen deeply, creating a safe and open space where I felt comfortable speaking freely and without hesitation. Your feedback was always honest, constructive, and delivered with empathy, and your advice and recommendations were consistently thoughtful, relevant, and impactful

​MAJED AL-SABI Director of CONTRACTING AND AGREEMENTS CONFIDENTIAL GOVERMENT- KSA
I’ve worked with many mentors and life coaches over the years but Mireia is without a doubt the best I’ve ever worked with. Her understanding, interpretation, and listening skills are next to none. Her professionalism really shows in the way she manages each session by not time-wasting and managing to get right to each point.
I spent 10 sessions with Mireia during the pandemic in 2020. What started out as a Healthy mind" exercise, quickly turned into a guiding session on how to make the best of my professional life. Mireia strikes by connecting with you on your terms, but also guiding you to a new self-context. She's a natural when it comes to fabricating these contextually rich safe spaces for us to seek answers from. To describe my sessions with Mireia as helpful would be an understatement; it was a weekly mind adventure that opened up opportunities that were else hidden from me.
What I like most is how the sessions embodied a framework that is applicable to processing emotions even outside of the session. Working with Mireia feels more of a learning/discovery experience rather than anything else. It really stays with you for the long run.
Mireia’s coaching style is one that is not only unique but also empathetic. Instead of telling you what to do, she guides you in the right direction (for you) and enables you to figure out what is good for you. She is a patient and cognizant listener, in that she has the ability to create an environment that makes the other person feel secure enough, so they are not afraid to be vulnerable. Her ability to empathize could only be surpassed by her ability to instil focus and mindfulness in her clients. Besides being a wonderful coach, she is an amazing human being!
