The story starts in 2020 and has been written with excitement, courage, creativity, intuition, and purpose. It was one of the most exciting times. At that time I was working in hospitality in a restaurant. You know what happened in that period, many people were laid off or made redundant. This can be a scary experience, but I felt freedom and excitement despite not knowing where the money would come from. I knew I could do it, but I didn't know how. I was happy, however. I was so excited, every morning I felt joy about what I was doing that day. And here comes my first question for you:

Do you feel excited about where you are and what you are doing today?

This is not an easy question to answer, I invite you to consider it and reflect on how you feel about it. Every personal story is based on genuine and honest experiences and emotions. The deeper we go initially, the higher we reach later. Only three years before 2020 I was in a confused personal situation, I used to say I was not a business person, nor a trainer. As you can see I had many limiting views. I also had a massive energetical blockage in my throat, I couldn't speak in front of people. Even in front of people I knew. For anyone with knowledge of healing modalities, this can be a clue of childhood emotional trauma. And yes, there was a lot for me there. Recognizing my feelings and emotions, and being honest about how I felt was the turning point. I had enough. So I decided to go deep inside and understand better why I felt that way and what I do about it. I took action toward change and engaged in many personal development activities, listed below. I thought this would take me higher, but initially, it took me even deeper. Going alone on this deep journey is not easy, I had 11 days where I felt lost, and confused, I didn't feel a place of belonging, and everything seemed not to work. And this is where I can support individuals. I have been there myself and I can offer support and guidance in this process. Some people call it finding purpose in life or mission. I explore it instead from a space of honesty, freedom, joy, and confidence. This is what I aim to inspire people to feel about their lives and what they do daily. Everything is possible, it's only a matter of how.

Changing career and path in times like 2020 when what I was offering was not in high demand, took a lot of courage. But more than courage was trust in myself, I can do it, I am worthy. This mindset was built over the years in various courses and I am blessed to have friends with that mindset. I will share what helped me to expand my limitations, especially the throat blockage.

What special course have I done for personal development?

Often I am asked this question by colleagues. How did I change from Sommelier ( wine specialist) to Coach and Learning Manager? For me, learning and development are not a Monday-to-Friday job, it's a lifestyle. I don't need weekends off and holidays because I love so much what I do, I feel I am on holiday. Yes, some days I rest and enjoy nature or discussions with friends. So how did I get here?

Curiosity and love in serving and supporting others to grow. I didn't know I followed an experiential training program in Business, Leadership, Trainer Certification, and Trading. Various Online seminars/training in neuro-linguistic programming and a Master Coach program with International Coaching Academy (ICA MAster). In 2022 I completed the Usui Reiki Ryoho Reiki - Second Degree - Okuden, and this is something special, it's not about me, it's about serving others. I read dozens of books and watched videos on personal development, leadership, and mindset. Ecstatic dance was the best practice for me to build confidence. CIPD course and qualifications came at a later stage when my passion for development and service was firmly grounded. Often growth and personal development happen gradually, it takes time. However, there were a few times when I felt a big change. 14 October 2018 Amsterdam after a release exercise and August 2019 in London after a three-day conference, I could feel I am a new person. To give you an idea, I invested around 40,000£ in my personal development. I was all in, all the money I had went into my development. I do not suggest this to someone, but this is how determined I was. There is only one direction - SUCCESS.

I know what it takes to be successful in various domains. I used to work in commerce, then as an electronic engineer and wine specialist in the last decade. I know how to achieve success. I am inspired and feel joy when I serve and support others to achieve SUCCESS. This is my WHY.

Personal info - Where are you from?

I am from the most amazing place in this Universe, with beautiful mountains, seas, lovely and fascinating animals, delicious food, and amazing people. The first thing about me is that I am playful and I like to laugh. I live a life free of boundaries and everyone can be a friend no matter the place of origin. I had the opportunity to live in several countries such as the UK, Spain, and Dubai. I traveled to 10 other countries. I am multilingual, speaking English, Romanian, and Spanish.
