Named Top 3 Career Coach in Charlotte, NC by Influence Digest
Are you a professional who wants to become better at what you do?
Do you want to improve your leadership skills?
Being coached is an experience of real-time, applied learning that’s customized to the situations you face in your professional life.
A typical executive coaching engagement lasts 6 months, with meetings scheduled as often as necessary to help you achieve your goals.
Potential topics: emotional balance, influence, networking, decision-making, motivating your team, delegation, confidence, manage expectations and setting boundaries, feedback and feedforward, communication, and many more.
In the last decade, I’ve coached hundreds of C-suite executives, leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs from start-ups to corporate, private to public, and local to global.
I have a deep understanding of different leadership needs across organizational levels, industries, and countries.
Expect curiosity, intellect, action, reflection, and experimentation.
Three months, six months, or one year of coaching sessions weekly, bi-weekly, or as needed.

Step 1: Assess & Focus
Take personality and behavioral assessments to identify where to target your time and energy for the highest payoff.
Reflect on the gap between where you are now to where you want to be. Plan how to maximize your strengths and build out areas for improvement.
Step 2: Do the Work
Read, listen, and reflect.
Find opportunities to practice. At the end of the day, without taking action – doing that thing that feels hard – you will not succeed.
You will get clear, timely, and objective feedback on the changes you’re making. Course correction as needed.
A sounding board. Devil’s advocate for key decisions.
Deadlines, individualized objectives, and accountability
Step 3: Measure & Celebrate
Acknowledge the progress you made! Notice where you were at the beginning of the journey and where you are now.
Celebrate and embrace your achievements! Enjoy your career adventure.

Step 3: Follow-up (1 hour)

"Irina has been instrumental in my growth as a leader and most importantly as a person. I have not had such positive impact on my life from one individual until I met her.

If you are looking to grow your career or be a better leader I highly recommend to have Irina by your side."

She challenged me in a way that was exactly what I needed at the moment: beyond my comfort level, but always in a safe space. She helped me see my options differently, not by telling me what to do, but encouraging me to unconstrain my thinking, to take small steps today towards a larger goal. Irina, thank you. You were such an impactful part of the journey I've been on. You are an inspiration to me as a continue my own coaching practice."

I like seeing immediate results during or after the sessions and the structure provided to achieve set goals. Irina, thank you for making me a better person!"
"I started working with Irina a few months ago and I can attest that she is exceptional!! I wholeheartedly recommend Irina for a career coach. She is very thorough, detailed and listened to my goals, wishes and desires very carefully and customized her advice based on them. She started out with a few assessments that allowed me to understand myself better, from a professional and personal standpoint. I found myself at a crossroads in my career and did not know which way to go, and because of Irina’s help I was able to ask myself the right questions and explore what I really wanted to do. It turns out that within only a few weeks of working with her, I landed a great new job and I have more confidence in my managerial skills than I ever thought possible.
After each of our coaching sessions, I felt so energized and excited about all the new possibilities that she made possible. And she also made sure to give me “homework” to keep me on track and push me out of my comfort zone. I feel like Irina was able to bring out the best in me and I am looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future and discover new “highs” in my professional and personal life. Irina is a career coach, but I find her advice so beneficial in my personal life as well, I feel so much stronger and happier since I started working with her. I cannot recommend her high enough!"

"Irina did an amazing job with me! She definitely love what she does and she is only interested in helping you and making you grow into a better, more self actualized individual. I loved working with her and I am still amazed by how much progress I had only through phone conversations! Thank you so much Irina for your help!"
