About

My pleasure to meet you! I am Lena (short from Elena), a cat-loving hiker, Belarusian living in Munich, Germany, a tech. girl who turned coach. .. I am a human being, like you :) And there is nothing more rewarding for me than seeing fellow humans like you growing and being content with who they are.

I help people to shift beliefs to propel them forward into success they always wanted. I help people to grow from the place of healthy self-acceptance and kindness.

Why?

I've been in the place of stagnation: wanting to change, but lacking courage and clarity. No matter my worldly achievements (fast-track from engineer to CTO, moving countries, switching careers), I was still feeling that there is something is missing. And I still doubted my own ability.

Life was good, but not fulfilling. I wanted to grow, but I was afraid to lose what I had etc.). I wanted to grow, but was in doubt.

What do I want? What if what I want will not be fulfilling? What if I fail? What if I lose things I worked so hard to achieve (respect, being good at what I do, finances)? These questions were constantly on my mind.

There were two discoveries which changed who I am dramatically: I discovered spirituality through work of Dr. David R. Hawkins. And I discovered coaching.

I realized, that it's not what I do or what I have defines my happiness. It's what I am. So I went into inner work. And that changed my life. It's really liberating to discover what drives you and knowing that - step-by-step shape your being.

I left the corporate world to serve what I see as my life mission: to spread the ripple of kindness through helping people to help themselves, so they can help others and grow from the place of kindness and fullness, not guilt and lack.

I am honored that I can follow this mission as an ICF ACC accredited mind-shift and transformational coach and as a certified team / agile coach.

Being on my professional journey for more than 15 years, I met many people who were there to believe in me and trust in my potential, even when I didn't. Somewhere on the way, I picked-up this torch of spreading this unconditional positive regard and supporting people in living their best life at home, at work, and within their innermost self.

My aim is to provide an excellent service and to date I've gathered hundreds of hours of coaching, coached more than 50 people. I love learning, so I have invested hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of euros in training and getting certified in variety of fields (professional one-on-one coaching, team coaching, leadership, running a business). And I don't intent to stop :)

I am a creative generalist. My experience is broad and lets me see things from various angles, levels, and perspectives. My goal is to find the right set of approaches to support the person in front of me to the best of my ability. My coaching utilizes a diverse toolkit of techniques for discovering purpose, shaping life balance, building habits, and (most-importantly) - healthy self-acceptance. My work is based on and heavily influenced by work of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Katie Byron, Carl Jung and others.

These days I am a coach, and I have also been a software developer, a solution architect, CTO, a manager, a consultant, and a leader. I have experience in areas spanning from masterful software engineering to leading self and others, from self-improvement to coaching and leading teams and organizations.

I like to work with people who feel/believe that we have the power to choose and feel solely responsible for their lives, who strive to evolve while also aiming to enjoy "here" and "now."
