I learned that mistakes are essential in the learning process and progress cannot be achieved only through perfection. For me, if things were easy, they wouldn't have the same value. (Work area: Self-confidence, work-life balance)

When I started the sessions with Ioana, I didn't know anything about coaching, but from the first moment I felt that she opened a door to a new and interesting journey, one inward. At the end of the 5 sessions I felt clarity. It is much clearer to me now which are the areas of my life that I appreciate, where I can still make progress and where I need to work on accepting. Ioana's approach was holistic, aiming to bring more clarity to my life so that I can realize what is most important to me. During the sessions, I felt that an alliance was being created between us, a complicity, with the aim of helping me define more clearly the version of myself that I want and that I want to reach. Ioana helped me to feel that I can express any thought without having the feeling that I could say something wrong. It created a "safe space". In addition, even when I couldn't put into words what I was feeling, she had the subtle ability to guide me in verbalizing what I was feeling. Ioana became like a mirror, I felt that I was talking to myself from the future many times when she asked me questions that I avoided asking myself because, in myself, I thought that I would not have been able to find them answer. In front of her, however, no answer was wrong, so I allowed myself to voice the thoughts repressed in the past. I was in a space where everything revolved around me, everything was about me and I could put myself first in my own life. At the end of the 5 sessions I felt clarity. It is much clearer to me now which are the areas of my life that I appreciate, where I can still make progress and where I need to work on accepting. I also learned that mistakes are essential in the learning process and progress cannot be achieved only through perfection. For me, if things were easy, they wouldn't have the same value.

The coaching process helped me achieve mental clarity and clarity of decisions (Coaching workspace - Making decisions easily)

Ioana: How would you describe the coaching style approached by your coach? Roxy: Open, liberating, concise and creative. Ioana: How did you feel in the coaching sessions and during the process? Roxy: Very comfortable, creative and relaxed Ioana: Would you recommend coaching to other people? Roxy: Yes, definitely!

It was a pleasant and productive process in which a professional knew what questions to ask so that I could achieve things that I would not have achieved on my own. After each session I knew exactly what information I was acquiring and I was eager and excited to apply it. The atmosphere was always relaxing and comfortable so that I could open up and verbalize the things that are more difficult to process.

As I told Ioana, I felt like I came to the session with a plate of spaghetti mixed in my head and left with it straight, symmetrical and aligned. From all the uncertainty I had, I left with a clear mind, organized and ready to face any challenge. I learned how to think healthy, to make correct decisions, but also how to look back at less pleasant moments in the past and turn them into small victories. The 12 sessions were so productive that I have a healthy mindset based on which I can make better decisions in the future. Surely there will always be something to improve and without a doubt I would also call on Ioana to work on those areas.

You take a magnifying glass and look from the outside with the coach to visualize the thoughts and emotions you have at various times. You gain a perspective on your own perspective, discover new connections between the way you think and previous experiences.

I found deeper explanations for the way I react, what mechanisms are involved and what corrective strategies I could apply. I was stuck in establishing a productive routine and demotivated because I didn't succeed, I managed to change my perspective and successfully pursue other goals. Countless times she helped me to express, understand and overcome specific negative emotions. We started with the idea that maintaining a healthy routine is an objective in itself, we integrated and applied the idea that it is a means to achieve objectives and pursued some of the concrete objectives Would you recommend coaching to other people? Yes, coaching accelerates personal evolution and opens new avenues of exploration and improvement

I would describe the coaching process as a journey (and hard, but also beautiful) at the end of which you get where you want 🙂

It put me in touch with who I am (values, personal beliefs) and took my eyes off the "noise".
