Testimonials

"I had the privilege of working with Alena, and her guidance was invaluable. She was incredibly supportive, helping me ask the right questions of myself while reminding me that I had the agency to make my own choices—rather than assuming I 'should' do anything.

Her coaching was especially impactful in navigating the ambiguity of working at a large corporation like Google. She provided thoughtful perspective, encouraged me to prioritize my well-being, and helped me recognize and celebrate my own growth and successes. I’m grateful for her insights and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who is both empowering and thoughtful."

"Alena was instrumental in my navigating the complexities of impact in a large tech environment. She helped me understand my work values, align my goals towards those values, and overcome obstacles to getting there. 

She is kind, empathetic, and an amazing UX strategist, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coaching."

"Alena not only helped me improve the quality of my work, but she also helped me reframe the way I think about growth and promotion during times when I was feeling stuck in my career. I learned to lean into my strengths and ultimately found a new role with help from Alena."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Alena as an exceptional coach. When I was feeling stuck and uninspired in my career, Alena truly listened—not just superficially, but with a remarkable depth that allowed her to grasp the nuances of my frustrations. She then skillfully re-contextualized everything I shared, helping me see that I possessed far more power and agency than I realized. 

Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident enough to communicate my true aspirations and boundaries to senior management. As a result, I gained exciting new opportunities and got rid of the work I didn't enjoy. If you're looking for a coach who can help you unlock your own power and transform your professional path, Alena is great!"

"Alena takes my scattered thoughts, complex ideas, and half-formed feelings about work and career and turns them into clear actionable things that help me move forward more confidently and with clarity.

Her feedback on my work is unmatched. She quickly understands the context of the problem I'm trying to solve and gives direct and constructive guidance that has shaped my work in meaningful ways. Even my manager has noticed the impact she's had on my work.

Because much of what I'm doing is new to me, her mentorship has been invaluable in helping me steer my projects and career in the right direction toward what I want."

"Empathy, Wisdom, Courage... Alena brings all these and more into her coaching practice. I felt cared for with a very experienced and insightful person. But Alena is also not afraid to ask tough questions that challenge your perspective, view of yourself, and get you to see things more clearly. All in order to move forward to better serve others out of who you were made to be. Great coach!"
