About Eva

Eva Medilek is the founder of Optimize You High Performance Coaching and an executive leadership trainer who starts where most leadership training stops.

Everyone teaches high achievers time management and productivity. Eva starts with the pattern underneath, using her Personal Performance Profile™ to surface what has been driving and limiting a leader's performance, communication and health. Clients see the pattern, interrupt it, and the new habits hold.

She knows the cost of getting it wrong. Eva spent over 30 years in dental hygiene, built a real estate investment business at 50, and nearly lost her marriage trying to do all of it at once. She earned her ICF Professional Certified Coach credential in her sixties.

A Brendon Burchard certified High Performance Coach, Certified Master Trainer, and #1 best-selling contributing author of Possibilities Unlimited with Les Brown, Eva delivers leadership cohorts for a Fortune 100 financial services firm where graduates are regularly promoted. At SMPS National in 2026, 100% of 141 attendees rated her session valuable and 99% would hear her speak again.

Her recognitions include the Elite Legacy Education International Hall of Fame, the Brainz Crea Global Award, and Exeleon Magazine's 100 Dynamic Leaders of 2025.
