What was your biggest, most exciting result from the coaching program?
I described and visualized myself in the future — with goals that truly reflect my current needs and desires.
What challenge brought you to coaching?
I came to coaching with a desire to understand where to go next in my career and how to find a balance between rational planning and emotional fulfillment.
I was feeling uncertain — the old sources of motivation had stopped working, and the new ones had not yet formed.
What was the coaching process like?
We worked together over six sessions, exploring my values, strengths, fears, and career aspirations.
The “5 Joyful Moments” method helped me gain deeper awareness of my true values and needs.
A key insight was that my career should not only include growth and achievement, but also mentorship, teamwork, and flexibility in decision-making.
It was difficult to give myself permission to explore without strict rules, but by working on my mindset and breaking things into clear steps, I overcame that.
What did you take away from coaching?
I gained clarity about what I want from my career and the values that underpin it.
The anxiety around uncertainty has eased — now I have tools to work with that feeling.
My confidence in decision-making has grown because I now have clear criteria to guide my choices.
I formulated a long-term career goal and created an action plan to achieve it — including identifying the opportunities, skills, and people that will support my growth.
I have already started analyzing the market and exploring options for taking my career to an international level.
What was the atmosphere like during the sessions?
Coaching helped me not only clarify my career direction but also understand myself on a deeper level.
Now I know exactly where I am headed — and I have the tools to move forward with confidence.
I am incredibly grateful for the support and valuable work we did together!
