Why did Darja decide to coach with Alex?

Darja was feeling the pressure of running her own business, spending a lot of time searching for answers and dealing with uncertainty.

Darja hoped Alex might help her find these answers and manage the pressure. Before realising that no one has all the answers, and everyone is just doing their best to navigate their challenges. 

More than anything, Darja valued the opportunity to talk with someone supportive and responsive, who could help her reflect and think more strategically.

What did Darja take away?

Darja appreciated the space Alex provided in the sessions to reflect and talk. She found value in Alex's supportive approach and the techniques she shared that Darja could take away and use in her day-to-day life. 

Alex's ability to reframe things was especially valuable, Darja also found the "immunity to change" exercise interesting, despite initially resisting it.

Darja enjoyed Alex’s coaching style, some sessions would be explorative; asking questions and sitting with them so Darja would find her own answers. And in other sessions Alex shared information, gave guidance and taught tools. 

What does life look like now?

Darja's life is more organised and focused. She has become more aware of her strengths as a strategic thinker, able to see the big picture and drill down into details. This self-awareness has enhanced her work in evaluations and her overall approach to business.

Before, Darja would avoid things that made her uncomfortable, but now acknowledges the immense value of having someone in her corner, supporting and challenging her.
