Raido Kivikangur - Executive decision coach
About me and how I help you
Deep experience: My journey from an unskilled worker on a construction site to a C-level executive in an international setting has equipped me with profound insights into leadership and decision-making. I’ve successfully navigated diverse and challenging negotiations across Europe in high-profile projects like the Tampere tramway and Rail Baltica. These experiences have honed my strategic and interpersonal skills, enabling me to facilitate complex decision-making processes effectively.
Strategic partner: Leveraging this extensive experience, I guide you through your leadership challenges, focusing on improving your decision-making prowess. Whether it’s driving organizational change, managing cross-cultural teams, or negotiating critical deals, my role is to help you make strategic decisions that lead to successful outcomes.
Balanced approach: I firmly believe in maintaining a healthy balance between professional achievements and personal well-being. Having overcome burnout myself, I emphasize sustainable success—ensuring that you can make sound decisions without compromising your health or happiness.
Candid and supportive: As your coach, I commit to being supportive, encouraging, transparent, and direct. I provide honest and actionable feedback based on what I observe, believe, and foresee in your decision-making journey.
Empowerment: I encourage you to boldly embrace your capabilities and aspirations. With the right decision-making strategies and mindset, you can transform your potential into real, impactful achievements. Together, we’ll set bold goals and create a roadmap to not just meet but exceed them.
Believe in your power, and together, we'll turn your vision into reality.
Achieving the results
I believe that in order to achieve a result, it is first important to understand what is really important for the individual. The fascinating purpose comes from inside a person and can sometimes even be a little scary. Setting a goal is like setting a destination on a ship, without a clear goal, we´re aimlessly drifting.
Secondly, it is important to focus on your own health. By contributing to our physical and mental well-being, we have the necessary energy to move towards our goals and be satisfied and happy on this journey.
Thirdly, it is necessary to deal with everyday distractions and allow yourself to fully concentrate. I believe that only by focusing fully will we be able to realize our potential to the maximum.

Effective way to achieve the results
“I was a president of voluntary organisation JCI Tallinn when I met Raido. We were just working on a charitable project “Rat Race”. It happened that the existing project manager decided to quit, but Raido agreed to take up the position only a couple of months before the culmination. Raido managed to quickly bring himself up to speed with the project, systematically work with the team, set the short-term goals to achieve the end result and to start working. Raido has a remarkable skill to energise the team, taking into consideration the skills and wishes of each team member who were contributing to the project along side their every day lives. He encouraged them to achieve the best result ever, it is astonishing. He is very systematic and knows exactly how to achieve the goal with the whole team.
