"Leadership by choice"
Leadership & talent development coaching 1:1 (online)
You lead a team or work on demanding projects. You do your job well. The results are there. But…
- circumstances are constantly changing, and adaptation is increasingly difficult
- you feel overwhelmed by the decisions you need to make, and the pressure is great
- your team or environment is full of tension, anxiety, and difficult conversations
- you don't know how to support the team
- you are not sure that your message and your work are reaching the main stakeholders
- there are conflicts, problems in cooperation, or a lack of motivation
- you feel isolated in your role and in between the demands of the organization and the team
And it has nothing to do with your results. It has to do with the fact that most leaders and experts are not taught how to lead and work when circumstances are challenging, tense, and constantly changing.
Leadership by Choice is an individualized coaching program for leaders and professionals that goes beyond just tools that tell you “what to do.”
This program focuses on who you are as a leader or professional and how to make decisions that are aligned with you.
We cannot control market conditions, changes, restructurings, or external crises. But we can build what helps you have a long-term sense of control - mindset and relationships.
The program is based on the PEOPLE FIRST approach, which includes:
understanding individual approach and work/leadership style
practical tools adapted to the person and situation
focus on mindset and relationships
professional support (psychology, psychotherapy, HR experience)
No surface-level solutions, only lasting change.
Structure of Leadership by Choice programme:
♦ Initial meeting
Introductions and exploration of your current circumstances, we agree on a goal and plan for next sessions, and by the end of the session, you receive a link for DISC Flow assessment.
♦ DISC Flow assessment
One whole session is dedicated to your DISC Flow results, where we go over them in depth and put them in the context of your problem or goal.
♦ Coaching sessions
4 coaching sessions during which we go deeper into the topic with the goal to better understand the problem, try out new approaches, experiment with your approach, and track progress. These sessions are being held every 2-3 weeks. depending on the agreement.
♦ Follow-up call
2 months after the last coaching session, we have a follow-up session to check your progress and adjust if needed.
♦ Bonus: e-mail support during the main part of the programme.
Coaching sessions are held online in the afternoon hours.
" The greatest benefit I got from our coaching session was - ease. I had a hard time coming back to work after my baby was born, my job has changed, and it caused me a lot of stress. Conversations with Nikolina helped me realize what is the most important for me and how I can make better decisions for myself and my family. It was great having someone listen to you and just be there without judgment."

what is under your control and let go of what is not)
- development of an authentic leadership style and work style using the DISCFlow
- managing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed (so it doesn't control you)

decision-making from a place of safety is also important)
