I am a challenger that loves a challenge.

The process of continuously going out of my comfort zone into a growth zone inspires me to be a better version of myself. Sharing knowledge is one of my main passions.

about me

I have a Ph.D. in Coaching Psychology – doctoral dissertation was focused on measuring the effectiveness of internal coaching and analyzing factors that influence its efficacy, such as emotional intelligence, goal-focused competencies, work engagement and personality traits.

I conceptualize and implement strategic programs that empower people to be more:

  • proactive,
  • responsible,
  • creative,
  • agile and
  • willing to take on new challenges.

My Top 5 Strengths:

l

Learner

I would describe myself as a “curious student eager to learn”. My aspiration to be open-minded and to keep curiosity is one of my main principles in life, therefore I keep moving forward, exploring and opening new doors.

Achiever

I am very goal-oriented and dedicated to achieving the targets we set up. I am productive and can dictate the tempo of workflow to “get things done”.

Z

Activator

I love turning ideas into reality. That is why I am usually the catalyst that gets the process going and infects people with positive energy and a “We can do this!” attitude.

Individualization

I can notice and appreciate the unique qualities of an individual and then use that knowledge to create synergies between team members that lead to better results and efficiency.

Self-assurance

I believe in my capabilities and instincts to guide me in uncertain situations to make the best possible decisions. With my skills and knowledge, I am great at empowering others to be more self-assured and confident.
