I have been working with Alena every other week for the last few months through a Leadership course I am taking through work. She always brings such a great energy, and wealth of knowledge to the course leaving me with new skills and goals that I can take into my role. No matter what type of a week I have had, I feel more positive after talking to Alena and really value our sessions. Her position in the program always feels really authentic, as if she was born to do this role and help people the way that she does!

I cannot recommend Alena enough as both a coach and an educator. She delivers complex concepts with compassion and expertise. Having already witnessed the impact of her leadership coaching at our studio, I was lucky enough to be part of her second cohort. Alena creates a community space and asks probing questions that encourage self-reflection that transforms both professional and personal relationships. Alena's coaching came at a time when I was facing a career change, and her material and guidance allowed me to ask the right questions and gave me the tools to make the most informed decision. Alena's extensive industry experience has also provided such deep insights about the challenges and parallels that exist in leadership across industries, that makes you feel as though you are part of a bigger community and not alone. She has guided me through the course material to find solutions that are directly applicable and tailored to my everyday interactions, which have improved my relationships and perspective at work.
