Testimonials and Coaching Highlights
“Though I am a very reflective person, her coaching helped me get a better understanding of why and in what way I operate on a personal and business level. For me, Ilona holds a safe space for me to explore and look into myself and I did not feel being pushed in a specific direction. She helped me become aware of my blind spots through an inquisitive and evidence-based approach. I especially like the fact she observes sound cues in my voice and her way of choosing words to identify my mental state at the moment. It helped me clarify the things I need to focus on when in doubt. I gained great clarity on my personal development and now have a way forward to plan, engage actively and action on it, without losing the targets I have set for myself.”
“I appreciate her bold and non-judgmental approach which inspires me to feel capable to achieve my goals. Her sharp and provoking questions lead me to gain clarity in areas that need more attention thus enabling me to thrive and accelerate my performance. Ilona creates a safe space which makes me feel comfortable to open-up my heart and I trust her to speak my mind with absolute ease. This sense of safety and trust is priceless.”
“Ilona coached me during a hectic time in my working life. In the sessions we had together she helped me to structure my thinking and to plan strategies for managing my diary. I always left our sessions with a clear idea of next steps and I am very grateful to her for helping me”
