My background

My journey into coaching began at the Solutions Academy, where I earned a certificate in Solution-focused coaching fundamentals. This is where I learnt the essentials of coaching. My education continued at the Coaching Academy Libchavy, where I underwent training in transformational coaching and coaching systems. These advanced programs allowed me to elevate my coaching practice, introducing me to neurological levels and systemic laws, and empowered me to support my clients in seeing beyond their current realities. I engage in regular supervision, participate in mentoring programs for coaches, and have worked closely with my own coach for the past five years. I got lot of practical experience during my time with BTS, a consultancy firm known for integrating coaching, assessment, and learning experiences to foster both personal and business transformation.

Though I never pursued formal studies in facilitation, my expertise has been honed through years of practical experience. Leading a team of 20 young lecturers and designing educational programs early on in my career taught me to navigate and innovate within the educational sector. My role in managing large international projects and facilitating sessions for diverse stakeholder groups has been instrumental in developing tailored workshops for non-profits and companies, showcasing my ability to bring innovative solutions to complex challenges.

My career has granted me a comprehensive understanding of the project life cycle, from design to implementation, and from monitoring to evaluation. Serving as a consultant, advisor, and evaluator, I've embraced a participatory approach to evaluation, valuing the process and learning it facilitates as much as the outcomes it generates. My academic journey, especially during my PhD studies in anthropology, laid the groundwork for my research skills, for sure, although I did not complete the degree after all.

Mindfulness has been a cornerstone of my life, influenced by my early attraction to yoga and meditation. My experiences from living in London and years spent in India and other Asian countries, where I spent days and weeks learning the theory and the practice directly from the monks in the buddhist and hindu monasteries, have deepened my practice. Courses with the Search Inside Yourself Institute and the Mindfulness Club have formalized my understanding, which now permeates my daily life and work, providing support and resilience through life's challenges.

A lifelong learner, I've aligned my educational pursuits with my goal to support those in need. My academic background includes diplomas in social pedagogy, degrees in theology, social work, and civil sector studies. I’ve also studied philosophy and world religions. Although my PhD in anthropology remains incomplete, the experience provided a solid foundation in research methodologies.

Currently, I am studying to become a facilitator of systemic constellations, an approach that has fascinated me for long. Additionally, my studies in psychotherapy-currently I am studying complex 5-year program in systemic and narrative psychotherapy and also 2-years program focusing on taking therapy outdoors enrich my coaching and facilitation work, allowing me to understand my clients and lead the discussions with them with some additional perspectives.

With over 20 years in education, capacity building, and diversity and inclusion work, I've embraced the richness of working across sectors—from grassroots NGOs to corporate clients. My non-profit experience, including international missions, has taught me resilience and the value of diverse, multistakeholder collaborations. My mission remains to support growth and transformation in a sustainable and impactful way for leaders, teams, and organizations.
