Testimonials
“Throughout this project, we have both dedicated not only some hours a month, but some pieces of our own selves, pieces which we took back at the end of the mentoring program, completely alchemical and touched by the multitude of ingredients we both poured: trust, patience, empathy, support, dedication and last but not least and perhaps most importantly, the joy of giving and receiving. Does it sound like poetry? It’s because it was, only that the musicality was created by us! Try it, the journey is worth it! There’s only one rule: do not limit yourself to the destination, let yourselves be surprised! 😊 Thank you, my dear Olga, and I am happy you decided to continue giving these kinds of journeys to others! May it be all done with ease and joy!”
Oana O. - Mentee of Olga in PWN Romania Mentoring Program
“Olga managed to show that she was the best person I could trust and with whom I could work on my objectives, while making use of many personal resources. Her methods and techniques, together with her warm personality were always above my expectations. Olga always demonstrated in-depth knowledge of all the coaching and mentoring techniques she used, we always had efficient communication, and all the methods and plans we developed together during the sessions proved to be applicable later on. She is an exceptional coach and I am sure that anyone who will work with her will have extraordinary benefits and amazing success. The degree of professionalism she expressed during this program managed to shape me into a more assertive person and radically changed my perception on coaching, and last but not least, on myself. Thank you, you are a true model woman for me!”
Dorina T. – Coaching client of Olga
“Olga and I were matched in an online mentoring program by accident, and it showed to be a very fortunate incident. I loved Olga's presence since the first moment we met online. Her enthusiasm was so real! I could feel from the first moment how much she cared to be of help, and this enthusiasm stayed throughout the mentoring year in 2021. I found the experience of mentoring with Olga to be very positive. She offered a safe space where I could share freely without feeling judged, but still feel heard. Olga helped me by asking good questions, sharing tools and tips that I could use to handle tough moments on my own, and share openly about herself whenever I asked. I also learned a lot from Olga through the person she is and the example she sets as a leader, mentor, mother and woman, and how she carries those roles with vulnerability, responsibility and joy. I am grateful that things worked out in such a way that I got to be mentored by Olga. Wishing all the luck and joy to whoever gets to be her next mentee”
Medina K. - Mentee of Olga in PWN Norway Mentoring Program
“For me, this experience was revelatory, as I discovered a new perspective. There are some aspects that I haven’t even thought about until meeting her, key questions that I never asked myself, whose answers made me understand and realize that there are some things I missed or that I thought were completely in order, just to realize later they weren’t as I thought them to be. Since our first meeting, I understood I never thought about certain points in such a way before and I very much needed to realize this in order to be able to find solutions. Thank you so much, Olga!”
Diana C. - Coaching client of Olga
“My experience was wonderful from the beginning until the end of the period in which I worked with Olga. She helped me find and see my own qualities and to cultivate my self-confidence. Even more importantly, there was no moment when I haven’t felt compassion, understanding and beautiful words. Thank you for all the help and encouragement given!”
Diana G. – Coaching client of Olga
"Before entering the coaching process, I postponed important things, I did not have clarity in objectives, in setting and understanding priorities. In the coaching process, together with Olga, I had a special experience that allowed both certain discoveries and clarity and consistency in terms of actions designed to help me achieve my goals. I gained focus, longer-term vision and last but not least the discipline to follow my plans and dreams."

Before anything else I want to thank the ones, who answered my calls in the last months, who asked how I am, who answered my emails, who cared. But I also thank the ones who did not…
