What Our Happy Customers Say

I have had very productive sessions with Irina.
She is helpful, approachable and a good listener, she helped me overcome lots of barriers and get to have a clearer understanding of what I’m going through.
She provides good guidance and has nice techniques in implementing change.
Irina will push you to take brave steps, and she is definitely the person who can get you to where you want to be.

I wasn’t in a good place when I decided to start coaching. I had always let my job dictate how I valued myself as a human being and when I didn’t have a job or a team, I lost my confidence, my self-worth and my lust for life, in general. I wanted to disconnect the tie-up in my mind between my job and my self-worth.
When I started coaching with Irina, I had a very different idea of what coaching was supposed to be. I’ve been a people pleaser most of my life so I assumed she needed to hear certain things or I needed to do certain things that were part of the process. I was very mistaken.
Throughout the process, she would gently remind me to not digress and come back to what we were trying to accomplish. I remember crying a lot in the initial sessions because Irina would prod me to “sit in” whatever I was feeling and not run away from it or get done with it or ignore it. I remember that being very hard to do. It used to be the hardest thing which now comes naturally as a result of coaching.
The way I look at and understand coaching has changed. The way I value myself has changed. The way I don’t let others dictate what I want to do has changed, except if it’s my job and I’m being paid for it. Every now and then, though, I do have setbacks but instead of lamenting about it or making it a big deal, I just take little steps forward again to get back on track. I hope to achieve a lot of goals that I’ve set for myself – using the guidance of a coach like Irina.

Working with Irina has been an incredible meaningful journey. She’s professional but still kind and thoughtful. She knows the right questions to ask and guides you through the process for your own development teaching you how to approach and deal with your blocks that stop you from achieving the best versions of yourself and your business. She makes you feel comfortable talking and builds a trustworthy environment in each session. I feel like I am a completely different person than I was a year ago. I am so much more confident, my business has grown so much, ironically, I have had way more clients with the new higher prices than ever before with the lower prices. Although I am still a work in progress, I do feel like understanding what was blocking me made a huge difference. Putting boundaries, especially to family has been so releasing. I still use the techniques you taught me, I know when I am being in the different states and know when to switch states.

The sessions with Irina gave me great insight and understanding of why I do and behave the way I do in my carrier and gave me tools to change in a positive way.

I appreciated all the sessions as they gave me something new during each one of them.

I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Irina, she was always able to ask exactly the right questions to get me thinking about my situation from a new angle. Thanks to her coaching I was able to make connections I simply couldn’t have without her guidance and support.

She is an excellent listener and kept me accountable while challenging me in a caring way.

She has taught me new techniques to help me excel in my field.

Irina also helped me to set realistic goals and make plans focused on my carrier advancement. I would recommend Irina to anyone who needs an Executive Coach.

I worked with Irina for a number of months, following a transition between firms.  I am trained to be sceptical and to challenge processes but started my programme with Irina with an open mind.  Irina brought an intellectual analysis to my business situations and challenged my perceptions and strategies which ultimately assisted me in better understanding: what my motivating factors were; how best to realise my goals; and further how to take steps to achieve my goals.  Irina skilfully navigated me through various issues that I had identified and empowered me to come to my own realisations and conclusions which has, without doubt, benefited my career.

I would recommend Irina to business professionals; for those whom are naturally sceptical, approach coaching with an open mind and it may well change the course of your career.
