Hi, I’m Andreea.
I am 34 years old, a Millennial, MarComm professional, daughter, friend and aunt. I am an only child, but I have 3 other dog siblings that live with my parents. I love animals, nature, travels, heroes, poems, beauty and art, fantasy movies and technology.
For my Astrology lovers out there, I am also Sagittarius with Aries ascendant. This means that I am independent, curious, brave, optimist, loving, caring, honest, problem-solver, active, kinda .. philosophical and spiritual. I love deep conversations about the meaning of life (especially around a bonfire), with a pinch of real data and facts. I am very quick to understand a situation and all its implications, get to its core issue, then see the bigger picture. I see patterns and make connections between ideas, people, and their behavior.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a news anchor. Writing was always a part of my life through journaling, and later on, it became a profession after graduating from Journalism Uni. I soon discovered Marketing at my Master’s and I’ve continued to develop my career in this field. Marketing was and still is a big passion of mine.
I have worked as a marketing professional for 8+ years, 4 in Romania, and 4 abroad. I was living in Bratislava, Slovakia for 4 years and only in late 2018 I’ve returned to Romania.
Actually, 2018 was a milestone year for me – I’ve decided not only to leave Bratislava, Slovakia but also to start from scratch professionally. After months of applying to jobs and going to many interviews, I’ve started to ask myself hard questions:
-
- Who are you? What do you REALLY want?
- What it is that is MOTIVATING you? The one thing that really moves you inside?
- What do you want to FOCUS ON for the next few years?
- Is a job from 9-to-5 still FULFILLING for you?
Even though they look so simple, they are very hard questions; they are the base of our happiness and the answers never come easy. In my case, the answer came one day when I decided to apply for a marketing position at a local NGO, without even thinking about the salary. The second I told myself ‘I would go to these guys even for free!’, I realized I am a breakthrough. ‘Ok, so it’s not money I am looking for. Then what do I want?’. What I needed was a job with a higher purpose, one that would bring me something I’ve never had before at a job: MEANING. I was looking for meaning in my life.
This thought right there was a big realization for me and suddenly, it was all so clear to me: I wanted to help people overcome their biggest life and career challenges and to reach their full potential because I know how transformational personal development can be. I felt it (and still do) throughout the last +7 years of my life, as I focused a lot on my emotional development, past traumas, and life challenges and now I felt it’s time to give something back.
I wanted to help people create this type of transformation in their lives as well.
I had a few myself, so I know exactly how hard it is to feel blocked/stuck, not knowing what to do next, to feel confused about your future, to deal with anxiety, to have a quarter-life crisis, to lose your partner, best friend, and your apartment and to start a new job – all in the same month, to reinvent yourself while moving abroad, to struggle with toxic relationships in your life (be it partner, manager or friends), to get fired but also land your dream job, to become a freelancer. So, yeah, I know exactly how all of these feel and I want to make it easier for people, so they don’t have to go through them the hard way.
I was always passionate about Personal Development, Emotional Intelligence, Self-awareness, and Leadership. I’ve always had a curious mind and searched for answers about human behavior, interpersonal communication, and what drives us forward.
So, in 2019 I decided to enroll in a coaching school, changed my career direction and decided to take a big leap of faith and became a
Transformational Career Coach.
I now help people live their most authentic life. We live our most authentic self when what we think, what we say, and what we do are aligned.
So, how can I help you become your best self?
I help people understand their emotions, face their fears, and get past their blockages to reach their full life potential – in relationships and at work – through Emotional Intelligence, NLP, coaching, psychology, mentoring, and consulting tools.
We sit together with your challenge while holding a safe space for you to find the answers and resources that you need, we then create a plan together, and then I’ll keep you accountable for it.
I hold your hand through the entire process without imposing my ideas and solutions, but by helping you reach your own aha moments and breakthroughs, so that the personal development journey is specific, personal, unique, powerful and transformational to YOU.
What qualifies me as a Coach?
Well, that is indeed a good question.
Clients who’ve worked with me say that I am a good listener, I challenge them with good questions that help them start their inner search, I am very quick to understand the big picture and have a great deal of empathy. Empathy is a lifelong friend of mine, a skill which I’ve developed throughout my entire life and I value very much.
I also use a lot of coaching and psychology (NLP, CBT, emotional intelligence) tools and they recommend deepening their introspection through exercises as homework between the sessions. The real growth happens outside of the meetings, when we actually apply what we learned about ourselves and bout the world, and not during the coaching sessions.
Regarding my professional education in this field:
-
- Finished the Coaching School Certification Program at Whisper – Center for Strategic Change, as a Change Strategist
- Two intensive NLP training on Coaching with NLP methodology (combined 54 training hours) at Mindmaster Training Center, Bucharest/ Romania.
2. Taking online Coaching School Program through Achology Academy, THE ACADEMY OF MODERN, APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY, UK
3. Certified Personal Development Coach at Confident Training Business Center, Bucharest – Romania. The diploma is certified by our local Government and ANC Committee and recognized at the European level.
4. Certified Career Counselor at Confident Training Business Center, Bucharest – Romania. The diploma is certified by our local Government and ANC Committee and recognized at the European level.
5. Weekly peer to peer coaching sessions with 2 other coaches where we develop and train new coaching skills for ongoing development.
6. Mentorship – happy to have had (from February to September 2019) Andrei Rosca (Entrepreneur for 10+ years and Change strategist for the last 6+ years, and the Founder of Whisper – Center for Strategic Change) having a mentor/coach of my own to help me through this experience and help me move in the right direction.
I totally recommend Andrei’s podcast ‘Zero plus’ – it’s a podcast about clarity, change management, and taking action, to be the best version of ourselves, every day.
7. Ongoing Psychotherapy and Personal Development for the last 8 years of my life – before being a catalyst for change, as coaches we need to do our inner work first, work on our issues first, go through the healing process and get emotionally stable, so we can create and hold a healthy and safe place for our clients to manifest their emotions and deep work.
I go to regular, by-monthly therapy sessions – an activity that shaped me into who I am today. It gave me the necessary conditions to become aware of my mental patterns, sabotaging behavior, limiting beliefs, and emotional wounds and accept, change or heal them. It was by far one of the best decisions of my life, something which I highly recommend all of us should do.
Our parents (most of them) are not very well equipped to show us how the human brain works, how to understand our emotions and other people’s emotions, how to develop self-confidence, and how to communicate efficiently with other people .. to say the least. So it’s up to us to learn all these of ourselves and stop blaming “life” or “the world” for our problems.
8. Constantly improving myself through learning and education: training, workshops, going to conferences and events, reading books every day, articles / listening to podcasts – all about coaching methodology, psychology, therapy, NLP, CBT, REBT, neuroscience, mindfulness, personal development, emotional intelligence, and many other connected subjects like sociology and anthropology.
I can be, not just your Coach (a professional person who helps you identify your fears, and blockages, helps you make the necessary changes to overcome them, set new life objectives, and help you reach them) but also a Coach who understands what you’re going through at every level (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually).
If I am the right coach for you – there’s only one way to find out and that is by scheduling a call or a meeting with me.
The first session is FREE of charge and it’ll be my pleasure to get to know you. You can schedule a 30-minute call – here.
