“Your philosophy of life shapes YOU more than anything else”
life: clarity. trust. happiness.
Emotions. it’s all about emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, loneliness, confusion…
Do you smile when you go to sleep? do you smile when you wake up in the morning? do you feel determined to start a new day, a new challenge, to go out and admire the sky, the sun, the people…
Do you love? do you feel loved? are you aware of your gift, your genuine talent? do you know you can re-invent yourself?
Many times, we project our past into our future. Sometimes we are too much in the past or too much in the future. And so little in the present. Don’t let your background, your past to define you. Let your past make you better, let it to re-define you!
Maybe you need to talk with someone who understands you, listen you and accepts you as you are. Maybe you need to talk with someone who can give you the validation and the confidence to live your life authentically.
Maybe you want to feel good about who you are, even if other people in your life don’t understand you. Or maybe you feel isolated and there is not really anyone to talk about it.
Maybe you want to try a new vision of your goals, you want to set up goals to achieve your purpose, maybe you want to follow your dreams. All these objectives customized on your personality and your own vision.
If you want to go confidently in the direction of your dreams and goals, if you want to live the life you have expected, I’ve created for you a JOURNEY.
A journey from ordinary to extraordinary!
Through our journey we will create a space where you will take a step back and look at the big picture.
Through our journey we will re-frame, we will change the perspective and we will go in that room in your soul or mind where no one has been before.
It is a journey where we look for your happiness, motivation, confidence, joy, trust.
And we will not stop until we find them.
Because at the end of this journey, I will make sure that your dreams, your goals, your purpose, your aspirations, ambitious, desires…will be accomplished!
You just need to WANT this. You just need to DECIDE this.
Dare, follow me in this journey!
“Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision”
business: career. strategy. revenue. (coaching + consultancy)
Maybe your business is just starting out and needs help moving in the right direction.
Maybe your business is established but has hit a plateau and you need to figure out how to take it to the next level.
Maybe you are an employee or a manager or an entrepreneur who wants to define or validate the vision, mission, goals, short-term and long-term strategies, ability to add value, competitive advantage, stakeholders mapping and analysis, key success factors, SWOT, cost/ benefit analyse, organizational structure, strategic Innovation.
Sometimes, an inner dialogue you have with yourself is limiting your ability to believe in yourself and it will seriously damage your self-esteem
“I just don’t have enough experience, my co-workers don’t like me, I am not talented. I have no special strengths. I am not good enough; my opinion is not important. No one appreciates me.”
Maybe, sometimes, you are afraid of speaking in public, socializing, making a change, taking risks, disappointing others, being pushed into uncomfortable situations.
If you want to go confidently in the direction of your dreams and goals, if you want to live the life you have expected, I’ve created a JOURNEY.
A journey from ordinary to extraordinary!
Through our journey, we will create a strategic plan for unprecedented expansion of your business, amazing prosperity and remarkable success.
Through our journey, you will:
set clear goals and map action plans to achieve them
break through any negative beliefs that are holding you back
identify opportunities and strategies for creating business growth.
clarify your business vision so that it aligns with your personal and professional goals
be empowered to use key tools for understanding your business – its mission, operations, financials, culture and overall viability
discover a process for addressing challenges, correcting imbalances and creating solutions that will prepare your business for long-term success.
be assisted through the challenges you will inevitably face
take advantage of a source of experience and expertise that you can rely on when the going gets tough.
our journey to self-awareness
Self- esteem.
Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves. Low self-esteem begins usually in childhood where parents were extremely critical. Or life events such as relationship breakdown or financial trouble can also cause low self-esteem.
But the most important thing about low self-esteem is that it is NOT YOUR FAULT!
If you have low self-esteem or confidence, you may hide yourself away from social situations, stop trying new things, and avoid things you find challenging. You may also develop unhelpful habits.
Therefore, in your JOURNEY, we will identify the negative beliefs you have about yourself, start writing them down and challenge them.
Then, through very powerful and direct questions, you will find the right answers to overcome them and accomplished freely your goals.
During our journey, we will not treat the past, but we will have a short look to identify the causes.
We will start from the present, re-frame it, change the perspective and start building a NEW foundation based on a strong and durable NEW belief.
I design sessions to meet your specific needs, but in general we work together to:
Identify triggers of low confidence
Look at past events, how they’ve influenced your confidence and change how you respond to them unconsciously
Learn strategies to make yourself feel more comfortable and confident
Let go of any negative habits getting in the way
Build on what works for you already
Stress. Anxiety. Burnout.
According to the APA (American Psychological Association), there is a fine line between stress and anxiety. Both are emotional responses, but stress is usually caused by an external trigger. The trigger can be either short-term (a deadline or an argument with a loved one) or long-term (inability to work, a chronic illness ...). Stressed people have mental and physical symptoms such as irritability, anger, fatigue, muscle aches, digestive problems and difficulty sleeping.
Anxiety, on the other hand, is defined by persistent, excessive worries that remain even in the absence of a stressor. Anxiety leads to an almost identical set of symptoms as stress.
Most of the time it is not the event itself that causes stress, but our reaction to it.
The purpose of our trip is to give you a sense of space, reflection and clarity. To help you understand the root causes, rather than "fixing" the symptoms. This is done through a series of conversations in which I will ask questions to help you understand and to offer perspectives or reflections that you may not have considered.
One of the methodologies we use is CBC (Cognitive Behavioral Coaching), which is inspired by CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), used in therapy by therapists.
CBC does not look at dysfunctions and does not delve into your past. As a coach, I do not focus on healing emotions (however, they can occur) and I do not explore the pathology to understand your problems. Together we are solution-oriented, from the present to the future.
Sometimes we can't control what stressful events happen to us.
By working with me, you can develop your emotional resilience, so that you can better manage stress, pressure, anxiety, burnout.
Fear.
We are all afraid. Don’t wait for the fear to disappear. Fear dictates the actions you take.
The fear it can manifest as worry, nervousness, phobias, anxiety and depression.
Many of us try to avoid fear. Many are relying on food, substances, and social media as a way to create a false sense of relaxation.
All of these things actually feed fear because they overstimulate rather than relax us.
The good news is there is something that you can do about it.
If you’re having trouble overcoming your fears, I, as your coach, can be your trustable partner.
I can help you to recognize that you hold the power to make you feel safe and that the fear is an old story that you can stop replaying.
If you are afraid to take action, if your confidence isn’t where it should be, if you are afraid you will never find your purpose or passion in life, fear of becoming a parent, fear that you’ve made the wrong choices in life, fear of speaking in public, I can help you to find clarity and guide you to a more proactive path:
Identify your root causes for fears: why you feel the way you feel. that is the most important so that we can move forward.
Take action: people can spend years trying to rid, ignore, repress their fears but through our journeys I can help you to integrate fear, call it out and face it.
Feel your fear and work with it, not against it
Learn how to use it as a force for success
Transform the way you think about your fears today and shift your perspective so that your focus is on emphasizing your positive traits, instead of focusing on limiting beliefs.
Our journey to Business Performance

a journey into yourself - sessions & methodology
“The most common form of despair is not being who you are”
Stage 1: Chemistry meeting
Pre-meet/ introductory conversation: this type of meeting is a free of charge 30 minutes (video)phone call, followed by a confirmation email. The aims are:
To get to know each other a little
To understand the background to coaching: why you consider coaching?
To understand the broad areas, you’d like to focus on (confidence, influence, change, productivity, finances…)
To talk generally about how coaching works
To discuss the logistics of the coaching process: How, Where, When
To answer any questions, you might have: e.g. confidentiality
To understand your need: to send additional information, cost…
To agree the best way to get started: e.g. availability
Stage 2: Define Goals & Objectives (Business)
Your potential Business Objectives:
I lack confidence in some area and it’s holding me back personally and professionally; I’ve tried everything, and I just need help!
I want to work on my influencing style; I’ve had feedback I don’t communicate effectively
I need to decide what my next career move is; I have no plan and I am stressed I’m just drifting
I want to work on my management skills
I need to get better at building teams
I am thinking at starting my on business and I have no idea what’s involved. I need help!
Stage 2: Define Goals & Objectives (Personal Development)
Your potential Personal Growth Objectives:
I want to get the right Work - Life Balance
I want to be more confident at handling conflicts
I want to know how to manage my time
I want to know how to be grateful for where I am
I want to improve my body language
I want to get rid of procrastination
I want to let go my past
I want to get financial stability
I want to know what career is the most enjoyable and meaningful for me
I want to know how I can start my own family
Stage 3: Discuss Awareness & Action
We will have a series of coaching conversations where we focus on your objectives, desired outcomes, what you want to improve or change…
We will build awareness; we will learn, and we will change.
At this stage we will use also support activities and tools such as:
Personality/ behavioral profiling: MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), DISC assessment ((D)ominance, (i)nfluence, (S)teadiness and (C)onscientiousness), Enneagram test, Belbin test etc.
Encourage self-study: books recommendation, TED Talks
Written reflection: keep a learning diary
Practice which encourages awareness: meditation, mindfulness…
Stage 4: Completions
Final stage, we acknowledge key points of progress:
Identify your sense of future direction
Ensure your support going forward: self-study, courses, seminars…
Incorporate into the ongoing objectives a PDP (Personal Development Plan)
“One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now”
The methodology.
We will use in our sessions some special, customized and very powerful techniques, organized in 3 levels: (SBP methodology)
Level 1: Socratic questioning
Most of our beliefs, values and results in life come from the answers to the questions we ask ourselves. During my coaching process you will learn how to make better questions and hence get better answers.
Level 2: Cognitive behavioural coaching - CBC
How I get unstuck and how i can overcome procrastination? How I stop self-sabotaging my thoughts and behaviors? How I can stop negative thinking and feel more optimistic? CBC allows you to answer these questions, create a path to change which is clear, challenging, realistic and long lasting.
Level 3: Strategic planning
Now that you know what you want and what might stop you, it’s time to create the micro routines that will make it a reality.
Ask. Search. Knock.
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ENDING”
Hi, I am Rares :-)
it was in a winter in 1995 when, travelling somewhere in a small city in Transylvania in a freezing old train, we stopped before entering in our rail station. Due to the single-track railway, we had to share it with the very modern and cozy international train coming from Bucharest. A train full of light and very elegant people.
I was so impressed by that image and so fascinated, that I told myself: in few years I want to be in that train, reading a newspaper while enjoying a big coffee in the Restaurant Wagon.
It was in 2001, six years later, when I joined my father to his train to his return journey. We were in the rail station in Bucharest.
It seems my dream to move here was so strong
that finally, after years of planning and intense preparation, I was admitted at one of the top Universities in Bucharest. Therefore, I packed my things and moved there.
After 1 month, I went again in Bucharest rail station, bought a newspaper (the name was Capital, I remember even now), get on that modern and cozy international train, sitting for hours in the Restaurant Wagon with a big coffee in front of me, preparing for my next life important journeys (job, career, friends…). After few hours, the train arrived at that single-track railway place and looking through my window I saw that old and freezing train where I sat, dreamed and hoped 6 years ago.
It gave me that fantastic feelings of accomplishment, freedom, happiness, purpose. That extraordinary moment of leaving behind all the fears, all the worries, lack of confidence.
What an extraordinary life journey!
I am, and I always was, passionate about people. I am passionate about empowering people so that they may find their own wings, so that they may fly, transformed, excited and passionate about their own lives.
During my 15 years in management and executive positions in multinational companies, I spend hundreds of hours giving and receiving mentorship . I also have built a broad and in-depth knowledge of many subjects which support personal and business development, such as communication skills, people management and team building, project management, presentation skills, time management, stress management, work-life balance, and so on.
By sharing passion, courage, perseverance, determination, we were able to deliver millions of EURO in challenging business environments.
And when all the effort and the intense work are recognize from the business community (voted in top 100 CEOs from Romania, in top 10 young managers from Romania (when I was young :-), in top 1000 the most important business people in Romania) it meant to me an acknowledgment of a job well done and justification for the agony and the self-doubt.
Today, I am taking another Journey. I know that being a Life and Business Coach will bring huge responsibility in guiding you to achieve your goals.
For me it is more than a journey. It is a calling!
I am passionate about incredible people like you, with your own remarkable stories. They inspires me. No matter if they are stories of success, sad stories, stories of failures or even love stories. What makes these stories so unique and special is the person involved in them.
It is a privilege to get to work with you!
As we will work together, I’ll watch you begin to discover your own amazing selve. As you progress on your journey of self-discovery and awareness, I watch you as you begin to shine your own light again. I see that glimmer of hope turn into possibilities.
And, when the time comes to say goodbye to you, I do so with a heart full of pride, excitement and love, knowing that you now have the wings to fly to such heights you once thought is unimaginable.
What do you do?
Everyone has dreams. We need to take a break for a while. Then it's time to begin contemplating and asking questions.
Where would you say you stand in your life right now? Is it a joyful experience for you to go through the routines each day? There will be times when you encounter skepticism and people who tell you that your goals are unrealistic.
Let yourself have some quiet time for reflection. Think about the things that motivate and inspire you, as well as those that make you happy.
To help you achieve your goals and dreams, I've created personalized journeys. These journeys will take you to unique places where you can create your own path and make significant progress toward your objectives.
Send me a message describing your biggest concerns, your craziest goals, or the business ideas you have always wanted to pursue. Let's go on this adventure together!
