What people are saying about working with me
About
"As a newly arrived employee in a new organisation and new country, I found the transition period challenging and needed support. My motivation and productivity suffered.
Through the coaching work Katia helped me to find the right answers inside me.
I regained my motivation, enthusiasm, and energy. I learnt to be more gentle and forgiving to myself. Over the period of our sessions i managed to achieve several work goals and my life tasks.
I'm thankful to Katia for professionalism and kindness.
I'm thankful to ITER for the opportunity to have this coaching program."

"Dear Katia,
I'm finding more confidence in navigating complexities of working with others, balancing clear direction with fostering autonomy within the team.
I also feel more comfortable and do not feel that bad when turning away from flexibility and choosing to say "No""

“Many thanks for fantastic coaching sessions!
The practical tools we used along our sessions helped me by making me more aware of my strengths and values.
Self-awareness allowed me to learn how to better handle challenging situations at work, as well as look at problems through logical thinking and not reactive side- which gives me great sense of balance.
Your open-minded and personalized approach along with strong knowledge and professionalism helped me to go through transformation and I hope other people have an opportunity to change their lives for better by working with you!”

"Being coached by Katia helped me to trust in myself.
I have gained a lot of confidence in myself as a manager. I have developed a plan for my work and life balance, which will help me to find an inner peace for myself and share it within my team.
Coaching also helped me to become a confident leader and manager for my team. It helped me to see though some conflict situations and find efficient solutions to resolve them.
It helped me to understand the needs of my team members and to find better ways to improve communication skills.
I would like to thank Katia tremendously for being there for me. She was very nice, very humble and attentive to my needs. She helped me very much to build a confidence in myself"

"I had an outstanding coaching experience with Katia. As a Regional Communications Officer for Europe and CIS with the United Nations Volunteers Programme (UNV), I had the privilege of working with Katia during my leadership development training and beyond, witnessing the profound impact this work had on my personal and professional life.
Katia is an exceptional professional who embodies the true essence of coaching. She always kept a structured
approach, challenged me positively, and helped me to focus, creating a vibrant but safe space for open dialogue.
With all my heart I recommend Katia for anyone seeking professional guidance and growth. Her coaching style is transformative, and the impact she had on my life and career is immeasurable. I became a more confident and graceful person. I got a promotion and joined the UNV HQ team in Germany. This happened thanks to the high performance and positive results I gained for the organization during the challenging year of 2022. This all was possible thanks to Katia’s professional support.
In terms of the coaching process, Katia has a signature technique to connect psychological achievements with the body. Through her guidance, I gained a deeper awareness of how my body reacted to different situations and how body language played a crucial role in communication. This mind-body approach has been invaluable for me in managing challenging situations with grace and authenticity.
Throughout our journey, Katia always demonstrated a deeply sincere level of compassion and support. She
genuinely cared about my growth and well-being, making me feel heard, understood, and encouraged on every step of the way. Such empathetic nature of coaching empowered me to face challenges with newfound confidence."

“Coaching allowed me to understand myself better.
For me, coaching has brought an opportunity to learn and develop myself, especially in the area of emotional intelligence. I stopped overloading myself with tasks out of my control, started setting priorities and personal boundaries correctly, and stopped worrying about events that were beyond my ability to manage them.
My coach did a fantastic job. Her individual approach allowed each time to consider the problem more widely and from different angles. She is applying different methods to reach the goals. I liked that she suggested trying new techniques, if the situation was stuck a bit.
The proposed exercises were interesting and as a result they brought an effect for me.
I would like to thank my coach Katia a lot for this effective period and wish her all the best!”

“Dear Katia,
Your assistance has been instrumental in my personal development.
The two sessions allowed me to:
-
Connect with my feelings more deeply, and gain better understanding of my emotional state and how it impacts my life
-
Elaborate on my thoughts and experiences, providing me with a renewed sense of clarity & purpose”
Professional at UNESCO
“I have been more relaxed since I have taken up coaching with Katia. I feel as though before this I was very anxious.
I have since been able to adjust to a situation rather than be worried about the outcome.
The effectiveness of Katia’s coaching helped me become more competent in completing my work without any hiccups”
Steven, Energy Engineer at EM3
“I believe it was a hard thing to be a coach for such a person like me. I didn't know I had to fix anything, I didn't know how coaches work, I was feeling weird in the beginning as I didn't know what to answer and what challenges to work on.
Then after couple of sessions I finally shaped my goal in my head.
I'd like to thank Katia for her invaluable contribution and support throughout the course of coaching!
She made me feel more confident, taught me how to ask questions to myself and find the answers. I really appreciate that!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart :)”
