Testimonials

“I met Irina as my coach when I stepped into a new role, and her impact on my growth has been truly profound. Irina created a warm and safe environment from the first time we met. She is a very good listener who quickly understands your needs. In a calm, empathetic, and focused way, she asked the right questions, helping me uncover my strengths, clarify my priorities, and gain confidence in my decisions. Irina is an exceptional coach and a wonderful and inspiring human being, and I cannot thank her enough for all her support over the last years.”

“Irina was my coach for several months in a global leadership program at SAP. The goal of the program was to unlock my fullest potential as a growing leader in the company, and this included coaching sessions with her, mentorship sessions with an experienced leader, group work for a project aligned with strategic priorities of the company, group workshops with tasks, and more. My coaching sessions with Irina were truly transformative and essential for my growth and success in the program. She built trust with me in a way that I could easily open up to her to discuss my main concerns, challenges, skillset, and gaps to be closed to make my next career steps. During my sessions, I had two “aha” moments that to date are still incredibly helpful for me to be the best version of a leader and contributor I can be. She also helped me identify my greatest strengths and how to leverage them, as well as how to view my gaps with a more positive perspective and how to work on them for improvement. As a result of the program and Irina’s invaluable contribution as my coach, I was assigned to new projects with greater responsibilities and now I am about to embark on a new role in the company. I genuinely appreciate and value Irina's support and guidance, and I would always recommend her as a coach for professional or personal development. I would gladly be her coachee again without hesitation.”

“Irina coached me for over a year. I chose Irina because of her credentials and stayed with her because of the high quality of service she provided. Irina challenged me yet showed empathy. She created and held the space I needed to calmly realize my own needs, wishes, and abilities to make those happen. I felt safe and listened to. Regularly, Irina would refer back to our past sessions, tying them well together and pointing out patterns which I would have missed without her as an external observer. Thanks to the coaching with Irina, I was able to strengthen my leadership impact while not sacrificing my family and own health needs. I was able to make tough choices with deep awareness of the “why”.

“Irina was an excellent coach partner to me in both, business and private matters, and I would be very happy to work with her again!”

“Irina was indispensable in helping me clarify my career goals. She helped me to quickly identify my strengths and interests, and then to create a clear path forward. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Irina helped me look at myself from an outside perspective. That helped me to focus on the real areas where I should improve and grow.”

“Being coached by Irina was very important in my personal and professional development. I have found a reconnection to universal values. Recognizing that I did not want to change offered me the chance to see new things in the vast existence.”

“It was highly valuable to have our workshop facilitated by a coach. Expectations and focus points were discussed upfront and input gathered from several participants, therefore the format and coaching tools were completely aligned with the needs. With her calm, professional and very approachable and sympathetic manner, Irina did an incredible job at observing, listening, and subtly leading the audience to engage, discuss, brainstorm, get challenged, while staying in line with the workshop goals. I felt that the outcome of the workshop was considerably more impactful, thanks to the coaching. It helped get clarity, a realization of the team’s underlying strengths and values and a shared understanding of the team setup and future needs, which facilitated the definition of actions.”

“Thanks to you, we shared all together a precious moment, full of emotion, energy and fun.
“You offered a safe space. You gently guided us to connect with ourselves and express our creativity. You helped us listen to all voices, realize our strengths, reflect on our needs and build on our commonalities and our experience. In our daily lives, we tend to forget them... It's good to remember that we have a solid foundation on which to build.”
