Why work with me?

After being a professional swimmer and then basketball player in my youth to high school years, I’ve started to work early at 19 y.o. after some accidents forced me to retire from professional sports.

I’ve moved up the ranks one step at a time in the corporate world and after 15 years I got to managing teams and organizations of 300+ people while being part management boards.

Being a fascinated by self development practices and experiencing my breakthroughs thanks to coaching and other practices, I’ve started formations in Transactional Analysis (TA), attended a coaching school from PwC, trained myself as a Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach, and incorporated in my practice all tools and methods I experienced myself as a client, from NLP and mindfulness to systemic coaching and constellations.

Having the professional experience but also the coaching and mentoring skills, I felt it’s time for me to give back from the gifts I’ve received from my mentors and coaches, bosses and colleagues in the past 15 years. Which brings me here and stands as my motivation but also guarantee that I can help you!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Coach?

A coach is a trained professional that accompanies the client into finding solutions and exploring options. A coach uses, among many tools, powerful questioning and active listening to help the client discover new perspectives and posibilities. The coach-client relationship is based on confidentiality and trust as the coaching process relates to the whole person of the client in relation with their goal(s). The coaching relationship involves equal partnership between the the coach and the client, without any judgement or agenda but only an agreed goal for the session that most often is related to the future and next actions.

What is a Mentor?

A mentor is an experienced professional in specific domains who shares his knowledge and experience with a client that wants to learn and develop in the mentor’s domain of expertise. The mentor is a guide that teaches, supports and encourages their mentee by advising and sharing possible solutions based on his or her experience.

How many Sessions Will it Take?

Most people get what they need while working with a coach or mentor in 6 to 12 sessions.

While some simple topics could be covered sometimes in less than 6 sessions, complex ones could be broken in more digestible sub-topics where 6-12 sessions are required for each of them. It mostly depends on the complexity of the challenge, goal or objective as well as the client’s commitment to self-reflection as well as taking action.

How long does an appointment last for?

The typical coaching or mentoring session lasts for 45 to 60 minutes, unless otherwise agreed for. The reason is, it is enough time to deep dive into a topic and explore it from multiple perspectives but it prevents the client from leaving the session burdened with lots of insights and action items.

What about Consultancy?

Business Consulting is a practice in which business consultants assist individuals running usually small to medium-sized businesses achieve their potential. Business consultants provide management consulting by analyzing the business and creating solutions that would lead to improved performance and efficiency or whatever goal is desired by the business management.

Testimonials

I worked with Alex in a period when I had recently changed jobs and could not accommodate with the new team and neither the responsibilities. From our first discussions I realized I was overdoing it exactly because I wanted to fit in but this brought me the opposite effect. Alex helped me to be more accepting of things outside my control area and ease the pressure I was putting on myself to fit in. This lead to a more natural behavior which allowed me to blend in with the team and at ease with my responsibilities. Unexpectedly, my personal life changed for the best as well since I realized after some time that I’m applying the same pattern outside the office. M.R. – Project Manager, IT

Testimonials

I became an entrepreneur after having worked in corporate environments my entire life. The startup I founded had a great kick-off but I was unconfident, overworked and lacked enthusiasm. I had no idea what I should do next to scale and grow the business. I’ve started to have both coaching and mentoring sessions with Alex which gave be both the mindset to be bold and grow my business to success as well as the practical tools to be able to implement a proper management system in my company. This allowed us to grow like we never expected but at the same time I allowed myself to take care of my private life by creating a routine that keeps me fresh and focused on whatever comes up. I keep close to Alex as new challenges always pop-up and it’s a great help to have him on my side. O.R. – Business Owner, Renewable Energy

Testimonials

I went to Alex because I was feeling overwhelmed by my work and felt I was heading towards a burnout. I started to feel as an impostor at work, stressed all the time which led to not being present in my personal life either. I did not expect much from the coaching sessions but said to myself any help is better than nothing. I felt heard and understood from the first session and I felt immediately more relaxed. What was surprising is that after some time, things systematically found their place in my life. I realize that I was doing things differently and my mindset was more about finding solutions than problems. This brought me back into a place of confidence and doing things with ease at work. Thank you so much!  C.A. – Operations Manager, IT

Testimonials

What I liked most about our sessions was the fact that through the questions you asked, I was able to enter into the process of introspection and discover things that I was completely unaware of. I really appreciated your energy and the fact that you were involved 100% in the discussion, but still keeping the role of a coach, guiding me through the questions, the final answer belonging entirely to me. I didn’t feel for a second that I wasn’t being listened to or helped, on the contrary, I felt that you accompanied me every step of the way on this journey, being an exceptional observer, who knew very well when to intervene and when to let the process of introspection free.

Testimonials

I felt that I needed to consult with someone with experience, someone willing to listen, understand my journey and make me realize if I was on the right track. And, by chance, I ended up with Alexandru Andone and started doing coaching sessions. I quickly realized that it was exactly what I needed at that moment and together we went through topics ranging from personal mindset to business structure and organizational culture. All the discussions held helped me to realize what I am doing well and what I can improve. I can say that these coaching sessions gave me confidence that I am on the right track and made me ambitious to accelerate this development process. So I set out to carefully monitor the evolution of myself and my business and make a comparison between now and next year in the same period. Thank you, Alexandru Andone! C.T.
