Yevheniya Shalimova's path to executive coaching began far from the boardroom. She was born in the former Soviet Union to parents who both served in the military and moved with her family to Ukraine in 1987. She began travelling internationally in 1995 and studied at several Bible schools in the United Kingdom. From 1995 to 1998, she served as personal assistant to the chairman of an international Christian organisation, travelling across Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Israel. Her responsibilities included translating shipping contracts for 10-11 annual sailings between Ukraine and Israel, each valued at approximately USD 100,000. She was later ordained as a pastor and served as a military chaplain in Ukraine from 2013 to 2015. More than 30 years in Christian ministry shaped her capacity to remain present with people under pressure and to honour the whole person behind a role or responsibility. In 2019, Yevheniya began her professional path in coaching. When the war entered its full-scale phase in 2022, she relocated to Norway and rebuilt her life and professional path from the ground up - learning Norwegian, finding work, caring for her daughter, continuing to coach and study, and developing The Shalimova Method™. Today, she is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), executive coach and founder of The Shalimova Method™. She has delivered more than 2,300 coaching hours to clients across 35 countries and coaches in English, Norwegian, Ukrainian and Russian. Her continuing education includes programmes in resilience, mental health, well-being and leadership offered by Harvard and Yale. She led the end-to-end Russian-language publication of two books - from publisher negotiations and translation to editorial production, launch presentations and international distribution. Operation Exodus was subsequently distributed across 22 countries on five continents. She partners with accomplished leaders to close the gap between outward success and inner fulfilment.

Bob Thompson is an MCIPS-qualified procurement expert and founder of Ideas-Shared, the new Ambition Operating System for individuals (16+), informal teams, and organisations who are looking to overcome adversity and take advantage of opportunities together.   With over 30 years of experience across the Private and Public Sectors and the Military, he knows what happens when great people and organisations fail to deliver on their ambitions and goals, leading to lost opportunities, reduced quality of life, and prolonged and often unnecessary suffering.   Born in Germany but raised in the UK within a military family environment, Bob joined the British Army. For 13 years, he enjoyed an array of operations, living in more than a dozen countries. Afterwards, he built another successful career in procurement and supply, working for blue chip organisations managing significant Spends, building e-Procurement and outsourced solutions.   He met Ivar Ingimarsson, ex-Reading FC Captain, who had an idea to help people with their ideas. Seeing the potential Bob used his considerable skills to design and build a completely unique Ambition Economy that gave Ivar his wish of helping other people develop their ideas. However, he understood that people and organisations have broader issues to contend with and so devised a way to help people change the status quo in every country by realising their own personal, professional and societal goals.   Bob’s mission now is to roll out the Ambition Economy globally and give everyone access to the Ambition Operating System. Following a short trial, members have the option to utilise a unique pay-what-you-can model to keep pursuing their own ambitions and goals within an ad-free, no algorithm environment. Those who simply want to support other members can do so for free for as long as they want.   He believes people know what they want to achieve; however, they lack the systems, scale, and leverage to truly benefit themselves, other people, organisations, and society itself. His Ambition Economy challenges current thinking and conventional online activities, replacing it with pragmatic human-centric solutions that work.   Those who know Bob describe him as visionary, pragmatic, a somewhat eccentric introvert, and straight-talking. He brings a logical yet deeply human approach to overcoming any type of issue big or small, and where the focus is always on benefits realisation. Whatever he does, his ethos remains the same: helping people and organisations achieve more than they ever thought possible.   His mission: A better world. Greater prosperity. Well-being for all. Tangible progress.
