“As it was my first time working with a mentor/coach it brought me a lot of confidence in what I do and helped me align my goals and values, which has made my professional and personal decision-making process much clearer and easier.
When I started coaching sessions with Monika, I was just on the path of starting my new leadership position in a company and I wasn’t confident enough that I would be able to scale up. So working with Monika has helped me to step up in my position and be more confident in evaluating and trusting my knowledge and the value that I bring.
I am now better aligned on what I want to do moving forward, how to think about the next steps in my career based on my values, and how to remind and appreciate my achievements to myself and use this as a power to grow even more.‘’
