GM and SVP
Technology Company
"After nearly 30 years with the same company, I’d been mulling retirement in the back of my mind. Alina helped me place a stake in the ground and formally commit to myself that the time was now to identify the when and prepare for that eventuality in my own terms, under my own control. Alina coached me to prepare for a successful transition including documenting the decades of intellectual collateral I have, formalizing talent assessments of my management team, and creating a timeline for execution. She provided me tools to begin the planning process, beginning with “what’s next for me”? While I’m only in the early stages of this 18-36 month journey, Alina’s thoughtful approach empowered me in a potentially scary time of my life as I wind down a successful career and turn my focus to my personal needs. I’d recommend Alina’s services to anyone preparing for a new journey no matter what phase of their career they are in."

"Alina is a very impressive professional who uses concrete techniques to advance and transform careers. Her methods are simply invaluable to anyone’s career, regardless of the stage, they are in.

Alina is a proven practitioner, who walks the walk herself. She has successfully applied the techniques that she teaches, to catapult her career to the Executive ranks.
Recently, in preparation for a divisional CFO position, I have sought Alina’s expertise and guidance to sharpen the messaging around my key differentiators and overall executive presentation style that I felt would be essential to set me apart for the role. Through skillful questioning and a methodical approach, Alina was able to help me design a concrete strategy around impactful, executive messaging. I am happy to share that having applied her systematic approach and strategy, left me standing above the crowds. THANK YOU ALINA!

MD, Anesthesiologist
Major Hospital System
"I was a 27-year-old mother of two, spending most of my time taking care of my kids and working part-time. I was raised with a belief that a woman’s main responsibility was to take care of her family and have a job that would allow her to do so. I emphasize a job, not a career. I was raised with constant feedback from my parents and the culture I grew up in that it was impossible for a woman to have a career and a family. Needless to say, I was unhappy because all I wanted to do since I was a little girl was to be a doctor. I was torn between the desire to follow my dream and a constant feeling of guilt even thinking about going back to school. I knew that if I went back to school, I would be judged and made feel like a bad mother. I thought I could never be a good mother and have a career.
I shared my thoughts with Alina since we knew each other well and had a similar background. She made me believe that I could and should follow my lifelong dream, that otherwise I would regret never trying to achieve my full potential. She made me believe that I could be a good mother while building my career, and becoming a doctor would make me a better parent. Alina also brought up an important point that if I didn’t try to go to medical school, I could resent my children.
12 years later, I am a happy mother with 2 happy boys, having a gratifying career as a physician. I partially owe it to Alina for encouraging me to follow my dreams, for making me believe I could do it without feeling guilty, and for letting me know I wouldn’t be alone in the journey".

"In a moment of professional development uncertainty, I reached out to Alina as she is a role model and a perfect example of a focused, goal-centered professional. She provided me with in-depth career coaching by broadening my horizon for career choices and encouragement to believe in myself. What was the most valuable for me, is that she equipped me with new very focused techniques for career soul-searching. Alina helped me identify and verbalize my strong points and areas I need improvement. I then took it to the next level to build on my strength within my work environment and eliminate some gaps. Alina’s impact in this was she helped me develop a clear vision of what needs to be done for the next step in my career and that, in turn, gave me a level of confidence to move to a new role in my organization that required skills I already had but never banked upon. Alina is a professional mentor, a strong professional, but at the same time very accessible and incredibly nice. I am forever grateful to her and would very much recommend her services!"
