Ana provides a trusted and safe environment between herself and her client. The circle of trust is defined and respected on both sides. No arbitrage or leverage for future work is used – which is a welcome change from past experience with other consultants.
Collaboration with Ana is deep and always serves a meaningful purpose to improve the quality of people’s lives, both at work and at home.

If I were to describe Ana in a few words, it would be competent, believable, Integral, dependable, and empathetic. In a nutshell, trustworthy!

Gary Noble on developing leadership team in BAT factory

3 years ago, I was frustrated and a bit demotivated by the lack of progress toward building trust within the new leadership team. I had aspiration and planned to be further through the ‘storming’ phase with the team. The result coming from the amount of energy put in didn’t feel like a good deal. The education module we had with Ana also confirmed some of my suspicions.

Directly after the module, I found myself in a ‘dark moment’ feeling a bit lost and helpless, focusing on the ‘negative’ points and ever-growing to-do list. I was not looking at the positives which were present in the team or the ‘progress on completion list’. Ana suggested we have a coaching session the following day, and a ‘de-brief’. I believe that Ana actually sensed the need for feedback on her contribution/performance in education module delivery, but also to scan me to see how she could help me.

Ana demonstrated her care and commitment toward our work collaboration at that moment. This was very special and demonstrated to me that Ana is really investing in our work and partnership. Almost all the consultants I have worked with (over 50+ from top blue chips EY, Cap Gem, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, etc.) do not demonstrate this level of personal commitment. With others, it feels much more like a transactional relationship and looking for the next piece of work rather than working to solve the current assignment.

Knowing that Ana is giving much more and is there also on the ‘dark’ days means a lot and gives me an immense feeling of confidence.

Collaborating with Ana now for 10 years, we managed to accomplish some remarkable achievements not only within the team but throughout the organization!

Fantastic experience in communication and leadership coaching. Ana’s public speaking and media training techniques are exceptional, providing me with the skills to handle speeches, interviews, and press conferences with ease and professionalism.

What truly sets Ana apart are her customized approach and effective methods in superb preparation activities, such as:

Customized training plans tailored to each client’s specific needs, ensuring relevance and effectiveness.

Role-Playing scenarios: Simulating real-life situations to build confidence and improve response strategies.

Feedback sessions: Providing constructive feedback to refine communication skills continuously.

Media Training: Techniques for handling interviews, press conferences, and public speaking engagements.

There are a number of important reasons why I would recommend Ana, and I want to highlight the following key points:

1. Professional approach: on time and prepared for the training.
2. Personalized solutions: I received a bespoke coaching plan that addressed my unique challenges and goals during the training.
3. Diverse methods: Ana utilizes various techniques to cater to different learning styles.

Overall, I would highly recommend Ana as someone who has proven results in leadership and communication training, as I have seen consistently significant improvements in my communication abilities and overall confidence since we started our collaboration.

I started working with Ana in my Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications role at Studenac. My aim was to improve my public relations confidence as well as to shape and practice both content and way of interacting publicly, ensuring media with valuable insights on behalf of our company. As my role transitioned to Board Member role, I continued working with Ana in the domain of my leadership development. I also observed Ana while training part of my team.

I am impressed by Ana’s curriculum vitae and professional experience. She is very knowledgeable in the leadership and communications domain and is someone I am glad to learn from. I am also impressed by Ana’s personality; she is one of those who uses situational leadership in practice by adjusting to each client based on the specific situation and needs. By working with Ana (or observing her work with my team), I see concise results and pleasant collaboration. I owe Ana my clarified thoughts and statements. The pauses. The development of my team. And so much more.

Ana is a top expert in the communications and leadership domain, positive, open-minded, an excellent communicator, adaptable, a problem solver, concise, and pleasant to work with.

Communication and leadership are skills requiring continuous development. For the reasons I stated above, I highly recommend that you consider Ana in case you decide to work on these crucial skills, either for your teams or for yourself.

There are a few things I would like to point out in Ana’s approach:

1. Tailored solutions with in-depth needs assessment and intent to understand hidden challenges
2. Visible results that stick – feedback coming from her coachees and workshop participants
3. Excellent execution – always well prepared using different methods to “shake” the audience

I have been in the consulting business for more than 10 years and as an HR professional for 10 years, working with a lot of consultants and trainers from different parts of the world. There are just a few of them with whom you get more than you expected. Ana is one of them.

I had an opportunity to experience Ana’s outstanding expertise in communicology through her education programs I’ve attended for the past four years: Presentation skills, Elevator Pitch, Storytelling, Communication skills, Conversational Agility, and Influential communication skills. Moreover, Ana coached me to prepare a demanding public Keynote talk in English and in pair. Ana also coached and prepared me for a very demanding Elevator Pitch presentation in English held in front of the top 100 Global Adidas Executives at the WEMC18 conference in March 2018. Her coaching is powerful, well-experienced, and accountable, which is precisely the energy that she holds.

Ana is a very well-organized professional and customer-service oriented perfectionist with a very optimistic way of looking at things. She performs everything with such ease and with a smile on her face leaving you with a single thought “anything is possible”!

She is a hard worker and has no problem fitting into your schedule even during weekends! If there’s a tight deadline to deliver ahead, she is always capable of adapting to a new working environment. She has a very positive attitude towards any project given to her, which makes clients more relaxed and positive about the outcome of preparation. Although Ana finds time to joke during her sessions, she shows a mature approach to her responsibilities, which is the perfect balance needed for this type of work.

I highly recommend Ana if you want a professional who has been mastering the art of communication for almost 20 years; a dedicated person who helps both individuals and companies to overcome their struggles and create meaningful communication; a skill that will change their lives both professionally and privately for good.

Finally, I think she can improve teams by providing simple and efficient methods of communicating more clearly within organisations.
