What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

My coaching is based on extensive research in the field of socio-emotional intelligence and development of self-sustainable systems for both the companies and their CEOs. My approach is never the same with every client, it’s always tailored to their character, goals and ideal pace of driving the business forward, which I believe makes all the difference.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

I believe it’s my ability to genuinely connect with my clients, while at the same time have the objective view on the situation of their business, and also my ability to provide a straight-forward feedback in a kind and supporting way.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

I help Fortune 500 and tech startup executives to rediscover their life story, then leverage it to get promoted, paid significantly more and find or create their dream role. Using my work experience from 8 careers and widely varied roles, I go deep with my clients to help them narrow down their zone of genius, then build thought leadership and a successful consulting business around it, transforming their lives with greater independence and influence over others.  

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

Aside from the expected life experience, emotional intelligence, empathy and effective assessments and frameworks, the single greatest factor responsible for my success as a coach is that I became a coach from necessity after many hard turns in life. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. I've written a great deal about my journey and its many lessons in my books, which encapsulate my "magic."

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

My coaching involves being an entrepreneurial wingman, guiding founders in the early stages of their startups. This can involve various aspects of laying out challenges they might face, discussions on how to overcome big and small hurdles, helping them with their strategy and business models, assisting them with their financials, pitch development, and ultimately using my network to get them funding. I also make sure they know they are not alone on their journey. With my help founders experience taking their startup through an incubator program that is specifically catered to their vision of the company they want to build.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

Throughout my journey as a coach to early-stage founders, the most critical success factor has been a distinctive fusion of hands-on entrepreneurial experience, empathy for their tough journey, along with both tech and business acumen. This blend allows me to offer practical guidance rooted in real-life experiences from various roles as a founder, early adopter, and investor. When a founder is open to seeking help to improve their chances of success, I make sure that my solution aligns with their needs and gets them to achieve their goals faster with less struggle along the way.
