Hello! I'm Paloma Chiara

I’m a coach and project manager for high achievers. I help people who are good at what they do but stretched thin by how much they carry, and I work both sides of that: the mindset underneath and the systems on top.

I was born in the US to a Colombian mother and a Dominican-Spanish father, and I’ve lived in the States, Mexico, France, and now Spain. Three languages, a lot of moving, a childhood spent reading rooms I was new to.

My family was the kind that had the hard conversations most people dodge. So I learned young to listen for what someone actually means, not just what they say out loud. That’s still the center of how I coach.

At 21 I moved to Spain from France with a design and literature degree and 6 months to become financially independent. My mother’s terms, not mine.

So I taught myself web development from scratch. Two internships, two job offers, and from there I kept stacking skills: UI/UX, graphic design, marketing, whatever the work in front of me needed.

That’s also when I fell for project management. The self-directed kind, where you build your own workflows and move without a team to catch you. I built my own app, Kilova, and I started helping founders with the systems behind their businesses.

I run my own life on the same principle. Everything in one place, the big goals up top, each day’s work tied back to them. That structure became the accountability I didn’t have anywhere else, and it’s what taught me how much follow-through depends on the setup around you, not just willpower.

The deeper I got into the systems work, the more I noticed the part I loved was the people.

I had a way of asking questions that made someone pause instead of reaching for the rehearsed answer. The kind that get past the surface of a problem to whatever’s sitting under it. Clients kept telling me those questions shifted how they saw their own situation, and I realized that was the thing I was best at.

It’s also where I saw what a system can’t do by itself. The structure only holds when the person can follow it, and that means working through what’s underneath: the guilt, the perfectionism, the grip on control.

So my coaching pairs the two. The questions that get to the root, and the systems that keep the change in place. That’s the work I do now.

I work with ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, and high-achievers across Spain and internationally through online coaching.

While my practice is global, I regularly spend time in:

• Valencia, Spain
• Malaga, Spain
• Asturias, Spain
• Marbella, Spain
• Madrid, Spain

If you’re based in one of these cities and looking for personalized life coaching, I offer flexible sessions designed for driven men and women navigating leadership, career growth, business challenges, and personal fulfillment.
