Meaningful results for Leaders.
Without Stress and Excessive Work.
I am Ioana.
I am a Professional Mindset and Leadership Coach (ICF Certified), Navigator of personal and professional development and Explorer of human psychology.
I help Leaders who work and stress excessively to relax, achieve results and enjoy life.
Nine years ago, I moved to Bucharest. I was working as a Project Manager in an IT company. The obsession for work drove me to spend very long hours at the office, neglecting my personal needs. I believed that success involved constant effort, and that happiness was essential regardless of circumstances. This intense period led to constant anxiety, insomnia, and physical and mental exhaustion.
The turning point came with the realization of the chaos in my life and its impact on me.
Once I slowed down and prioritized quality over quantity, I began to achieve results, promotions, and recognition.
With over 12 years of leadership experience, I have held various positions such as Project Manager, Program Manager, Delivery Manager, Coach, and Mentor in Project Management, Head of Project Management, and Senior Engineering Manager. I have managed complex teams, contributing to organizational transformation and sustainable growth.
I have developed and implemented coaching programs, contributing to the company’s nomination for the Prism Awards ICF. I have provided coaching for leaders and team performance improvement. I have collaborated with other companies to deliver leadership coaching and personal development programs.
I have provided hundreds of hours of individual coaching for career clarity and cultivating a healthy and balanced mindset.
My coaching experience also includes supporting young leaders and entrepreneurs in volunteering programs.

I didn't know how much I needed a coach until I worked with one.
- Larisa Badea, Team Lead Oracle
The collaboration with Ioana began in a demanding period, when I desperately wanted to make a professional conversion, I didn't have a clear definition of the direction I wanted to go and what I had to do concretely to get there.
A coach is not a mentor, is not a psychotherapist, and does not give you a magic potion that will solve your problems overnight. But Ioana has a holistic approach, is empathetic and is a well-trained partner, who helped me to understand what is important to me, to be aware of my resources and potential, to clearly define an action plan and, above all, to feel comfortable with all the changes I had to adapt to.
I am grateful for this experience because I have clarity. And my mind can focus on the things and actions that matter!
I highly recommend Ioana's services to anyone looking for a guide on their career journey, including those unsure of which career direction to choose.
- Career coaching
In the first sessions I noticed that my answer to many questions was "I don't know", but after the six sessions, I managed to find solutions and answers to those questions. Ioana helped me identify my strengths and values. I worked on various small goals of my own choosing and together I created a plan with concrete actions to achieve my set goal.
I wholeheartedly recommend coaching to everyone!
- Luciana Popa, Student, Business Administration
It's a process you don't know you need until you start it, but I think it's an imperative experience, at least once in a person's career. It will make a huge difference in your mindset, personal and team leadership, and the coach who guides you on this journey will reveal experiences, interests and personal values that can become assets in the future you you build!
Ioana is a very professional and well-prepared coach, who adapted to my needs and who was by my side 100% during the entire process.
- Project Coordinator, Voluntari pentru Idei și Proiecte Association
In the coaching sessions, I felt actively listened to, understood and free to express my feelings and experiences towards the process and towards the new version that we were building together. In addition to respect and space to develop, I felt enormous support and motivation to introduce new ones methods, to answer some perhaps uncomfortable but necessary questions, and to embrace the different stages of the process.
The coaching process gave me a strong jump-start for introspection, self-knowledge, and designing the future grade 10 version of me, along with practical methods to get closer to that goal.
- Luciana Popa, Student, Business Administration
The style approached by Ioana during our coaching sessions pleasantly impressed me and supported my desire for self-improvement and honest evaluation of my skills in different directions. His gentle frankness gave me a lot of self-confidence, a sense of
belonging and merit that I plan to cultivate further in my personal journey.
Coaching gave me a professional perspective and validation of my personal progress. The process helped me to discover what matters to me at the moment, to discover other sides or mechanisms of which I was not aware, and to implement good practices in my life.
Coaching made me realize my potential and helped me through small and simple steps, day by day closer to my objective
- Work area: Self-confidence, work-life balance , Fontend developer, IT
The coaching style was warm, friendly and open. I felt provoked, out of my comfort zone but safe and full of trust.
I would definetly recommend Ioana.
I learned that mistakes are essential in the learning process and progress cannot be achieved only through perfection.
- Ionica Balas , VP of Operations - Telecom
Ioana helped me to feel that I can express any thought without having the feeling that I could say something wrong. 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.
The coaching process helped me achieve mental clarity and clarity of decisions (Coaching workspace - Making decisions easily)
- Roxy Dat, Founder. Sales Executive - Entrepreneurship & Sales
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.
- Sirbeanu Andreea, Engineering Manager. IT
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.
- , Programator, Dezvoltare software
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".

Steps to achieve the desired results
1. Acknowledgment
- Individual Coaching Session (Week 1)
Goal: It is important to become aware of the impact of stress and excessive work in our lives, on all levels. This will increase motivation to make a change.
2. Self-awareness
- Self-Image
-
- 1:1 Coaching (Week 2)
- Homework
- Limiting Beliefs
- Identifying Limiting Beliefs Test
- 2 x 1:1 Coaching Session (Week 3, 4)
- Homework
- Managing Emotions
- Emotional Behavior Test
- 2 x 1:1 Coaching Session (Week 5, 6)
- Homework
- Values
- Identifying Values (Week 7)
- 1:1 Coaching
- Future Self
Goal: The more we know ourselves, the better we understand how and why we function in a certain way, in different situations. We can make changes within ourselves only when we know ourselves very well, so we know exactly what works and what doesn’t, what suits us and what doesn’t, what we desire, what we like. This factor is extremely important and will help us find the best solutions and methods of work for us.
3. Triggering Factors and Relapsing Management
- Subject
- Observing the environment to identify Triggers
- Possible issues we avoid and take refuge in work
- 2 x Individual Coaching Session – Week 9, 10
Goal: It is important to realize if we work so much only because of limiting beliefs or if we might be running away from other aspects of our lives that we dislike and don’t want to confront. It is also important to observe what drives us to work so much, what situations make us prone, to know how to handle these situations in the future.
4. Redefining Control
- Subject
- Delegation or lack of it
- Micromanagement
- Positioning in my role
- Setting boundaries
- Performance management
- Clear processes
- Identifying the Need for Control at Work Test
- 2 x Individual Coaching Session (Week 11, Week 12)
- Homework
Goal: Often, the fear of losing control leads us to overwork, to get involved in everything, to micromanage, to avoid delegation for fear that things won’t be done to the level we desire.
Failure to set boundaries towards the team and top management or stakeholders, stemming from fear of appearing disobedient or incompetent, or avoiding proper handling of low performers, burdens us with excessive work.
All these aspects shape your leadership image and how you position yourself in your role.
5. Smart Objective – Vision & Strategy
- Individual Coaching Session – Week 13
Goal: Now that you have a clear image of yourself, know what your blockages are, know what limiting beliefs you have, have a series of tools that we already know work, have an idea of how you position yourself in your role and towards your team, know your values, and the future image -> we can set a concrete objective focused exactly on the areas that are most important to you and that we can concretely measure, and we can begin the journey towards that future you desire. The objective we will set here will reflect this desired future.
