Sonia Petecka
Sonia Petecka is a Certified ASGL Trainer, coach, and business leader with a track record of helping leaders and teams unlock potential, perform at higher levels, and create sustainable success.
​
Her journey began in Poland and brought her to the U.S. at age 16, where she studied Biochemistry and French at Tufts University and conducted research on Multiple Sclerosis at Harvard Medical School. Realizing her path lay beyond medicine, Sonia earned her MBA at NYU Stern, launching a career managing client relationships with luxury, retail, and logistics clients. She oversaw the full lifecycle of client engagement — driving revenue growth, cultivating strategic relationships, and leading cross-functional teams to deliver results.
​
Alongside her corporate career, Sonia explored personal development tools like coaching, subconscious reprogramming, Human Design, breathwork, and meditation. These experiences shaped her belief that true success requires both strategy and well-being. She launched her own coaching and consulting practice to help professionals manage stress, improve communication, and achieve results faster — and with more clarity and confidence.
​
Now as a Certified ASGL Trainer, Sonia brings her global experience, people-centered approach, and leadership expertise to our flagship programs — The Positive Effect Leadership Workshop. She partners with leaders and teams to elevate performance, build stronger cultures, and create success that lasts.
