Andra Mirela STAMATE, Project Manager Commercial Projects, Bureau Veritas Working with Alina has been tremendously positive for my career as well as for my personal life. It started with my need for support when I moved from legal to project management. It turned out to be so much more than this. Each coaching session with Alina left me in a deep reflection mode. I started to question my self-limiting beliefs, replacing them with new beliefs and mind-shifts. One time I even told her that I felt as if my tectonic plates were shifting. I went into coaching looking for advice and guidance and left each session discovering strengths and resources within myself. I saw improvements in my performance, self-esteem and clarity. The best thing about all these was that it never felt like they were "given" to me. Instead, I always had the feeling that we merely uncovered them within myself. That, they were always there and the coaching with Alina facilitated this unravelling. To this day, I find this to be the most precious gift I got from Alina's coaching. Alina helped me understand the systems in which I was operating, the patterns with which I was unconsciously working. She mirrored back to me how I appeared to the world without even being conscious of it. And then, it was my decision what I would do with this awareness. For someone for whom self-improvement and continuous learning are in their DNA, having the opportunity to work with a coach like Alina is more valuable than finding gold. Because she is not your gold mine but instead she guides you to find the gold mine in yourself. And this is, to me, infinitely more powerful than anything one could seek or find on the outside."
