Should you want to do something with your private and professional life, Alex is a great companion on that journey, with her skillful, smart and diligent coaching approach.
A lot of our conversations around leadership, apart from being pleasant, had the ability to resonate in my head for days. Usually, it was the least expected parts which led to unexpectedly powerful, yet almost trivial pursuits. They call it the Aha! moment. I wish everyone could get more of those.
Marek Vandak, Division Director at an international software development company (Slovakia)
It was such a pleasure to be coached by Alexandra during the early stages of setting up my business. All coaches also need a coach!
Starting a new business, in particular during challenging times, puts a lot more pressure on your mental state and physical wellbeing. Alexandra had a very authentic and intuitive approach to coaching me and helped me see things from a different perspective. She intuitively knew when to challenge me and when to empathise and uplift me, which is such a gift to have.
I would not hesitate to work with Alexandra again in the future.

As a client of Alexandra, I can highly recommend coaching to anyone who is striving for a personal or professional change or simply their own personal development.
As a client of Alexandra, I can highly recommend coaching to anyone who is striving for a personal or professional change or simply their own personal development.
With her empathetic and trusting nature, as well as her experience in coaching in combination with her professional and personal experience, she is at your side with a lot of knowledge, patience and charm.
Thanks to her coaching, I identified new perspectives and found my way to myself and my professional change more quickly.

Alexandra’s attitude as my coach touches me, because she is unreservedly humanly compassionate and lives responsibility. I experienced that new possibilities of perception are awakened in me.
Alexandra’s specific coaching offer made me aware that I am completely ready to change in the sense of 'concretising' - not just wanting to do it, but also doing it. As a coaching goal I formulated “to get a shell” in order to keep grounded in emotional experience in life situations and not to just fall. Especially important to me as a painter.
In coaching, what moves me above all is the concentrated atmosphere and the mutual trust. Both allow me the greatest possible attention to what is in the moment.
Alexandra’s attitude as my coach touches me, because she is unreservedly humanly compassionate and lives responsibility. I experienced that new possibilities of perception are awakened in me. We get to the point in every session. I experienced that every open statement on my part is taken seriously and leads to the core, which we then shed light on. The conversation in the coaching session is purely positive. It is based on maturity, recognition, the pure interest in the positive process and moves forward on an equal footing. Alexandra guides me very competently to a state of clarity. Her coaching sets a process in motion that brings me specifically to my long-dormant questions and in which it is possible to actually find answers to them myself. This is especially stimulated by the methods with which Alexandra guides me through the coaching.
For me it is a gift to be able to do this process through a conversation in the human encounter and to recognize that through guided coaching one comes to great, clear answers and new perspectives. Recognizing this change in me and in myself, ultimately encourages me in my work as a painter and gives me new strength. The clarity challenges me to be more courageous and to trust myself more, privately and in my work.

The coaching with Alexandra really helped me in certain situations, above all not to waste my precious time, but to use it more effectively.
In particular, to use this time as valuable as possible and to effectively clean up inefficient sources of interference. This was easier than I originally thought and, above all, was made possible by the different methods that Alexandra used to lure my own potential out of the reserve and to recognize new perspectives. It was an exciting and effective experience that I wouldn't want to miss.

Alexandra inspired me to maximize my personal and professional potential.
She provided support and helped me setting ambitious goals which already grew within me over the last years. Having a coach aside helped me create the action plan and structure needed to achieve them on my journey as a young professional. The short time we worked together had a bigger impact than imagined – her thought-provoking and creative process has brought my leadership qualities to light. A company's success significantly depends upon the leadership abilities of its managers. Some of these qualities can be learned, while others are character traits that can be coaxed out. Thank you for the journey and showing me that I am on the right track!
Sophie Gnesda, Head of Communications, Federation of Austrian Industries Vienna (Austria)
I have had the pleasure to know Alex and to collaborate with her for more than a decade. We had various engagements with slightly different setups and in many roles. Her corporate experience and leadership mindset was always of high value to me and my management teams.
Alex has a wealth of experience with work and culture in large organizations, communication, leadership styles and ‘internal politics’, as well as transformation programs. In parallel with her execution of assigned roles, she was always naturally advising colleagues, and even bosses, how to deal with challenges, how to move forward or how to improve leadership, especially in complex and challenging situations.
Alex has a high level of empathy which enables her to quickly spot one’s strengths, weaknesses as well as challenges he or she is dealing with. That, in combination with her talent, intelligence and experience from different environments, situations and people, gives her a perfect foundation with which to be a great leadership coach, mentor and consultant.
I have benefited from it and enjoyed it - as a side effect of our collaboration and as a coherent part of her support and collegiality - for many years, even prior to when she started her coaching and leadership career.
Alex invested a lot of time, energy and passion into additional official coaching and leadership education and certification to prove, support and even enhance her capabilities and talent.
On top of that, her systematic approach and persistence are the assurance of success for anyone who wants to change, improve, grow or deal with current challenges by utilizing her service and support!
Recently and unfortunately, Alex went through extremely tough and challenging times in her private life, dealing with unprecedent health crisis, impacting also her professional next steps. However, this personal crisis situation gave her the opportunity to challenge her overall value system and validate her real life values and priorities. The way how she dealt with it has proven her capabilities, positive attitude and great stamina, and makes her a role model for everyone in a personal or professional crisis situation.
It definitely strengthened her observation and analytical capabilities as well as her skills as coach, mentor and leadership consultant.
