Mihaela Diaconu
About me
In every session, we are embarking on a discovery journey, a discovery of new abilities and opportunities. Through understanding, introspection, reflection and courageous action taking place, as well as many aha moments.
Working with me, clients are moving forward, focused, faster and in a healthier, more suited to who they are, way.
My passion is to help my clients achieve their potential at work, and in life in general, improve performance, challenge their mindset and behaviours with the right amount of support, as well as helping them make sense of their environment and how they can more readily observe, and take maximum advantage of opportunities in which they can thrive.
I have access to a wide range of psychometric assessments, and able to support with understanding how to relate and operate within the wider systems, as well as make sense of organisational / group dynamics / cultures my clients find themselves part of.

Topics we might work together on:
- Career Transition/ Or any transition in current work, where change has bestowed upon you - as Herminia Ibarra says: When you are at the "What got you here, won't get you there" moment
- Career Coaching in general- when not sure what next, or maybe you want a promotion, move roles or companies, etc.
- Work challenges (especially if you had some improvement areas highlighted on your development plans / 360 feedback or simply want to improve relationships at work); such as:
- Improving listening skills
- Becoming more assertive
- General communication skills
- Improve emotional intelligence
- Dealing better with conflict
- Challenging conversations
- Improving productivity
- Reduce stress
- Confidence building
- Presentation skills
- New role success - first 3 months (for both line manager and individual contributor scenarios)
- Team coaching
- Leadership behaviours change - I am a Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centred Coach and this coaching method starts from the premise that to be able to be as successful in the future, as you were until now, some habits need unlearning. Also looking at what those are and which ones are more unhelpful for your next leg of your leadership journey, as:"What got you here, won't get you there".

My client's words:
"Working with Mihaela had a very positive impact at this point in my career. We built a good relationship and really felt that Mihaela was immediately on my agenda. Her questions are considered and insightful. She is non-judgmental, listens and she demonstrated throughout that she understood what I wanted to achieve. I found the whole experience very powerful.”
