Working with Alina was a joy and a privilege, she has been very supportive and helpful, an invaluable partner who accompanied me in the journey to the ACC accreditation.
We build connection very quickly from the beginning, as it came very natural and I felt that a space of safety and trust was established between us from the first supervision session, allowing me to open up and be vulnerable.
One of the Alina’s standout qualities that I highly appreciate is her direct but extremely warm style, a genuine and authentic approach and a deep empathy. I would say she perfectly managed to set a balance of warmth and professionalism, fostering a high sense of trust and openness. During our sessions, Alina has demonstrated a keen understanding of my needs, emotions and feelings as a coach and as a human, guiding me to explore and understand some of my fears and insecurities as a coach, helping me to build confidence and to work on my mindset and my approach of my coaching sessions. I struggled with an imposter syndrome during coaching sessions with some clients, and Alina was there for me, supporting me to overcome it and to realize it is just a matter of over listening to my inner critique and helping me identify my coaching strengths and my inner friend voice.
Also, our conversations have helped me build and implement a healthy and effective routine before my coaching sessions, which allows me to enter the sessions with a clear and relaxed mind and definitely improved my presence and my focus on the client during the sessions. Her ability to guide conversations with insightful questions and reflections and to challenge my thoughts and beliefs significantly contributed to the shift of my perspective and of my coaching approach, reinforcing my trust and confidence that I can help my clients and be there for them just as I am, with honesty and authenticity. I really felt listened to and understood, and her support and encouragement were priceless.
I an extremely grateful for having the opportunity to have Alina as my supervisor and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for support towards a positive mindset and personally and professionally development.
