I came into coaching feeling defeated and hoping my coach would have all the answers. That is not what coaching turned out to be. From the beginning, Ivana explained that she would be my thinking partner, not someone who would fix everything for me. That took time to accept, but it changed everything.
Ivana was great at noticing patterns and connections I could not see myself. She gently guided me toward insights, helped me step out of negative and black and white thinking, and encouraged me to explore paths I had not previously considered. The exercises were incredibly helpful and honestly necessary in helping me decide on the next phase of my career.
Coaching is not a quick fix, but having Ivana alongside me made the process grounding and constructive. Looking back at where I started, I am amazed at the internal work I have done. I do not have all the answers, but I no longer feel defeated. That alone feels like a success. Thank you to Ivana and the Krakauer team.
