Individual Client Insights
Finding clarity through our sessions
Our sessions brought structure to my thoughts. When I have too many ideas, she asks me a simple question, and everything becomes completely clear.
Atmosphere of Relaxation and Discovery
During the session, she creates an atmosphere where I can relax fully and focus on the here and now. I feel free, and safe, and I always discover something new.
Capacity to connect
Excellent listening skills and understanding. Excellent capacity to connect, perceive one’s difficulties and help finding one’s strengths. It was surprising to see how quickly Adrijana understood what I was looking for and how helpful and supportive she was. She helped me get a more clear picture of how I could improve my performance during job interviews, guiding me through ways of making me feel more confident and relaxed in these stressful situations.
Time and Space to Listen to Myself
She always listened my points of discussion and asked as many questions as possible to make me think in ways to “solve” my request. But the most important thing for me was that even though the questions were challenging, I´ve never felt uncomfortable with them. So, she took me out of my comfort zone in a way that made me think bout the questions to find feasible solutions and, to be honest, that is how I learned the most and took the most advantage of the program with Adrijana. In every session, I could say I´ve had a key take away that requires continuous practice and learning from my side. But, saying two are (i) do not things personal and (2) listen more than speak – that is the reason we have two ears and one mouth.
Fostering Safe Expression and Exploration
Adrijana is empathetic, she always focuses on the positive talents and knows how to motivates me. She also asks the right questions helping me set plan for my area of improvement. With Adrijana, I learnt a lot about self awareness and motivation, she helped me unlock my potential and maximize my performance.
Choose a Coach Who Listens and Empowers
Once you decide to proceed with coaching, make sure to have a great & professional coach like Adrijana, trust me you need someone who is a good listener and enjoying what he/she does, also dealing smart enough to make you speak up and reach the solution or the best way to deal with different matters.
Encouraging Guidance to Explore Your Strengths
Very professional, able to make me feel comfortable to open up right away, very positive and caring and I felt encouraged by her presence and interest. She did not make me feel like I „needed“ help but rather like she is there to support me exploring my potential and encouraging me to dig deeper at what I want. Like a sports coach. I realized that I can ask for more help from people around me. I often tend to think of what I can do and forget that I can rely on others too.
Insightful questions open new perspectives
Adrijana is very supportive coach, with a great ability to map out what I share and to ask insightful questions that give me new perspectives. I enjoy that she is very emphatic and takes time to listen and reflect back what she observes. I also appreciate that she is very genuine and I feel I can trust her in this process. It really inspires my work as a coach too see a good relationship between client and coach. I feel that after every session I keep reflecting at the topic I bring to the session, so that shows that she creates a very reflective space. What I take is the importance of the trusting relationship that makes me what to open up.
Providing thinking space
Very friendly and open. Willing to go slowly and take time to listen actively. It was my first experience of coaching and I would recommend it to anyone, whether they are just starting out or hold a senior role. It is especially useful for those in a management position who need to frame or reframe their role within a wider context.
Clarity and Confidence in Core Coaching Competencies
Adrijana is very competent, intelligent, engaging, helpful as a supervisor. I have a much clearer understanding of certain aspects of ICF core competencies 3,7,8. A greater confidence in applying those competencies while remaining true to my own style. A stronger feeling of alignment with regards to how I teach the core competencies and how I apply them in my coaching practice

Absolutely loved this session.
Such a valuable way of learning, especially from the experience of others. Adrijana did a great job guiding us and recapping everything and had some great additional insights. I would really like to see similar sessions returning on a, for example, bi-monthly or quarterly basis with the same group.
I would 100% recommend it further! <3
The group was amazing and we learned so much from each other’s experiences, with Adrijana helping us make connections to the Phase structure and emphasizing the key takeaway points. We all felt very comfortable and at ease, and it left us excited to try the takeaways in practice with our teams.
It was a great session
Adrijana was very open and explained all nicely without giving me the feeling of pressure. The group was amazing. We had fun, and I learned a lot from her and all my fellow TL colleagues, as always. I feel motivated!
Adrijana is an awesome leader/facilitator of discussion
I love attending her workshops. We gathered a lot of great ideas and advice on how to act in specific situations to make sure it is appropriate for the situation, which I find really useful. It made me feel confident I know what I’m doing and also made some situations easier
I loved it!
I was a bit skeptical about role play again, but the topic was so close to our daily tasks, and the team was great that it really felt natural.
Adrijana was also a great facilitator and showed that she is an expert in this topic.
Exploring grey areas together
It was very well paced and special bonus points for Adrijana’s preparedness and willingness to discuss the “gray areas” in between the categories that were the main topic.
