I have decided to work with Alina upon noticing that my performance, as a director, was slowed down by a lack of full understanding of a manager’s role, and, even more importantly, by my own set of ingrained beliefs which were holding me back and stopping me from becoming the person I wanted to be.  

Being in a foggy area, I joined Alina’s executive coaching programme, not knowing exactly what I wanted to target, but after a few sessions with Alina, I got the awareness to look inside and understand what beliefs and obsolete ways of thinking are worth surfacing and addressing. During our journey we have approached subjects like ‘authenticity and vulnerability’, ‘relationship building’ and ‘leadership’ and all these have helped me become a better manager, a better friend, and a better husband.

Alina is very skilled in asking the right questions and in identifying the real underlying issues straight away. I always felt safe and at ease to open up to Alina and address any issues either from work or personal agenda and I would definitely trust her to shape the next stage of my personal and professional life.

I accepted Alina's challenge to go through a coaching experience first out of curiosity. I wanted to understand what such an experience means and how it can help me in my personal development and in achieving my goals. Then I realized that in the moment of transition I was going through from a manager position to an entrepreneurial activity, I needed a change of perspective and a different approach to the new role. Alina helped me understand that we perceive reality through lenses adjusted according to our own beliefs, habits or prejudices. And that, persisting in seeing the world through these lenses can be counterproductive. I realized how this way of seeing the world shaped my personality and sometimes sabotaged me while trying to reach my goals.

The coaching experience is anything but a "walk for pleasure". Once awareness is acquired, it follows the hardest part – the action, the work of inner change and transformation, which sometimes turns into the struggle with your own inertia, with your own distrust and your own judges. Alina assisted me with patience and wisdom in this journey, making me understand that it is okay to acknowledge what we perceive at any one moment to be our limits, because this is the first step we need to take to overcome them.

At the end of this coaching experience I can say that I made very important discoveries about myself. Still, the work of discovery and understanding does not stop here. For me, this search continues. Thank you Alina for this experience! I endorse Alina’s work and strongly encourage every manager or small business owner who wants a faster way forward to take this trip too!
