Silviu Cojocaru
At just 19, Silviu Cojocaru earned the UK’s Student Employee of the Year award and swiftly transitioned through 3 industries. By 25, he co-founded The Aha! Moment Academy, guiding managers and leaders in finding purposeful and fulfilling work without salary compromises. By 29, he’s become a certified Implicit Career Search (ICS) Coach and one of just 13 Certified Integra Processors globally, the creator of FORMAL method, boasting 1,000+ coaching hours.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My approach blends 3 game-changing methodologies:
- NASA-endorsed Human Element building authentic and high-performing team relationships
- ICS developing clear and strategic purpose-driven career paths
- FORMAL for skill repurposing and re-branding that employers can’t ignore.
This isn’t just a job change; it’s a transition to a fulfilling, well-lived life. The Aha! Moment Academy covers removing stuck identities; boosting self-worth and self-esteem; pinpointing your purpose and skills; test-driving career paths, jobs and team cultures, acing interviews and negotiations.
You’re not a client; you’re a life I’m invested in transforming. With a cap of 3 clients/month, you’ll receive focused attention to unleash your potential.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Rather than reinventing the wheel, I’ve achieved success by employing and building upon tested, proven, research-based approaches. ICS has been successfully used for 3+ decades and is proven to be 300% more effective at enhancing self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-worth – key transition drivers – while the Human Element has been battle-tested for even longer.
I deliberately avoid the conventional wisdom and short-term, quick fixes that populate the career coaching field.
Additionally, I don’t aim to be a catch-all solution. My approach isn’t everything for everyone, but for those ready for a transformation, there’s no better roadmap to a fulfilling career transition.
Liru Wang
Liru Wang, PCC, CPCC, ACE, Ph.D. As a former executive with 25 years of experience in research, senior management and operations, career, and leadership development, I now choose to be a professional coach specializing in career and leadership transitions, coaching clients from top worldwide organizations in such fields as social media, computer software, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, medical health systems, telecommunications, professional services, apparel & accessories retails, and wholesale trade.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I focus on career and leadership transition and transformation. I help leaders and high-potentials better understand their success profiles, better manage relationships and understand the world they are in so that they can become better and stronger leaders.
I am a solution-focused coach. My unique coaching approaches derive from the knowledge and insights of my 25 years of corporate leadership, business operation, and management. I work with clients to find their goals, unlock their potential, and co-create a roadmap to enable them to advance their careers with confidence and purpose and quickly and smartly transition to a new career and leadership position.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I would have to say my growth mindset. I have integrated knowledge of various coaching principles and models with my corporate experience to create a unique coaching style. I meet where the clients are and coach clients in either English or Chinese.
Becoming a professional coach was my fifth significant career transition. As a career transition coach, I modeled the Career Transition Cycle and practiced the success factors I needed to transition from one leadership role to the next. This transition process is discussed in my book, Becoming the Manager You Were Meant to Be – Making Meaningful Career Transitions, which is coming out soon.
Jackie
Jackie is a positive psychology coach and perennial expat who has lived overseas for more than half her life, and has worked in the United States, Europe, South America and her current home the United Kingdom. Jackie came to coaching after many years working in the field of career services, and as a coach continues to support clients to unlock their career potential.
She is a qualified mindfulness instructor and offers group and individual mindfulness instruction in addition to coaching through her company.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I take a client-centred approach to coaching, supporting my clients in their journey and providing them with the tools they need to make positive progress in their lives and careers. As an experienced mindfulness instructor, I also draw mindfulness techniques into my coaching to help clients focus and find a path forward, while better equipping them to deal with the everyday stresses that modern life presents.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to my success has been investing in my own development and learning, to be able to better support my clients. I completed a rigorous two year coaching programme to obtain my ACC qualification, and have continued to commit to my development so that I am always equipped with modern and evidence based tools and techniques to help my clients reach their goals. For example, through a coaching accelerator program I learned to use a constraint model to help determine where a client is “stuck” – whether that’s in their insight, motivation, capabilities, real-world practice or accountability. By identifying where there’s a blockage, I can get to the heart of the issue much quicker and tailor my coaching to deliver the most effective outcome in the least amount of time.
Andrew Sherman
Andrew Sherman is the founder and principal coach at The Transition Coach. Andrew wants to help leaders at a career transition point move forward through a developmental approach to coaching that supports positive growth and purposeful change.
Monica Swamy
Monica is an Engineer in Qualification who started her career with Accenture as a Software Engineer but her interest and inclination to Human Resource directed her to complete her MBA degree in Human Resource Management. She is also a certified Global Career Counselor from the University of California and has completed her PG Diploma in Guidance & Counseling.
As coaching, training, counseling, and writing has been her passion for long she is now trying to get them more aligned and polished by undergoing a Life Coach Certification Program.
Elizabeth Diacos
I finally got out via the not for profit sector, while I studied the Master of Applied Positive Psychology and discovered coaching. I then went on to do further ICF approved coaching training and eventually found my way to working alongside teachers.
I’m here to provide you with the support I wish I’d had back then.
As your career transition coach, I’ll shine the light and show the way to another path.
