Before coaching “In short I felt “lost” and not in control of my future professionally. Especially from the career side I knew I was not happy where I was, but I felt confused to understand the source of my dissatisfaction and “frozen” to take next steps. After the coaching I put my thoughts in order, did some proper reflection and now I can say I am at a place where I fee ready to prepare for next steps so I can feel satisfied and fulfilled again in my career.”

“Working with Silvana as a coach has been an incredibly valuable experience. She created an atmosphere of trust from the very beginning, listened deeply, and offered thoughtful observations that helped me see things more clearly. Her powerful questions challenged me in the best way and supported my personal growth. I truly appreciate how she helped me open up and move forward with confidence.”

“From the very beginning I was always drawn to Silvana’s energy, positivity, openness, and the genuine way she supports people. She is one of those people who naturally makes you feel calmer and more motivated just by being around her.
We had three sessions together, and each one felt deep, comfortable, and supportive without ever feeling overwhelming. During the first session, we focused on my life as a whole: work, family, personal wellbeing, and balance. We explored where my energy was going, what was giving me energy, and what was slowly draining it. It helped me notice many things that I simply had not seen before in the middle of everyday life and responsibilities.
During the second and third sessions, we focused more on my business and the internal processes within my company. We looked closely at where I was losing too much time and energy, which situations were creating unnecessary stress, and what could be simplified or reorganized to make things feel lighter and more manageable. What I appreciated most was that Silvana does not just ask questions. She genuinely helps you see situations from another perspective in a very calm, supportive, and thoughtful way.
In just these three sessions, we managed to cover and work through a lot. I now have a very clear plan and understanding of what needs to change moving forward.
After every session, I felt more clarity and calm in my mind. Together we created realistic and practical steps to improve the structure of my work, reduce stress, and create a healthier balance between business and personal life.”
