Mental Health Coaching: Managing stress and developing resilience

I suffered from severe stress symptoms, which had a very negative effect on my well-being and sleep. In our coaching sessions, Nikola and I worked together on stress management, ensuring a work-life balance and, in particular, mindfulness. With her open and positive manner as well as numerous solution-oriented aids, materials and tips, I experienced measurable success after just a few sessions and was able to eliminate my negative symptoms through certain routines. I am very happy to have taken this path and can warmly recommend Nikola’s coaching.

Nikola draws on scientifically sound methods and techniques and gives very pragmatic, valuable tips and recommendations that can be implemented very well and immediately in everyday (professional) life. I have come to appreciate Nikola not only as a coach and good listener, but also as a person. Any time again.

I am incredibly grateful for the support I have received from Nikola. She has been instrumental in helping me manage and soothe my emotions during challenging times. Through her guidance, I have learned effective problem-solving strategies and have been encouraged to adopt a more positive mindset. Nikola has also introduced me to meditation and stress-relief courses and resources, which have significantly improved my overall well-being. Her compassionate and insightful approach has truly made a difference in my life. I highly recommend Nikola to anyone seeking a caring and effective coach.

Nikola's ability to empathetically and competently put herself in my shoes during the professional coaching and to accompany me on my journey has left a lasting positive impression on me. Each session was not only purposeful, but also characterized by an atmosphere of support and encouragement that enabled me to further develop my professional goals and strengthen my self-confidence. Thank you, dear Nikola.

Nikola was my coach in a virtual leadership development program. What I learned in the program I can use everywhere. Before I did not tell anybody openly what I thought because in our culture this is not common but now I provide open and honest feedback and it is highly appreciated because people know what is expected from them. Thank you Nikola for helping me realize and putting into practice that competence.

Nikola helped us to bond as a team and to strengthen and develop our cooperation on a virtual level during Corona. She gave us a lot of creative and helpful suggestions, which we also tried out and practiced directly with her. Between the sessions, we had the opportunity to try out what we had learned and then reflect together. Nikola was completely responsive to us and our needs and shared other helpful material even after our sessions were over. Nikola works very professionally, brings a huge wealth of experience and directly understands the concerns and expectations. Therefore, I would recommend her without reservation.

Nikola has designed various global leadership development and coaching programs for Covestro and conducted them virtually in English. She works in a very structured and goal-oriented manner and radiates an admirable calmness. She is able to quickly build trust and accompany people from different cultures with a great deal of sensitivity in change and development processes. She knows what she is doing and is an expert in the field of virtual and intercultural team leadership. Even today, I think about what I have learned and apply it intuitively when, for example, I conduct online events or have to cope with difficult situations. The cooperation with Nikola is always profitable, practical and sustainable, both professionally and personally. I recommend her without unreservedly.

Nikola worked as a freelance coach in our leadership development program BayWay for ten years and played a major role in developing and regularly implementing the program. The aim was to learn how to lead virtual and intercultural teams successfully in times of change and increasing complexity. The feedback from participants from over twenty nations regarding her coaching services was always outstanding. Her particular strength was to create a trusting framework in both virtual one-to-one and group settings, which enabled sustainable personal development as well as interactive exchange and peer learning. We thank Nikola for her great commitment and the wonderful cooperation.

Nikola was our virtual leadership and team building coach over a period of two years. Through her coaching the effectiveness of communication, our feedback culture and the level of trust increased tremendously among team members and leaders (located in Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho and Germany). This had a measurable and highly positive effect on project results. Nikola's style is authentic, structured and human. Thank you for our trustful exchanges and for asking the right questions, Nikola!
