A whole lot of conversation, planning and thinking takes place in a person’s head. With Alice, I could discuss these thoughts, which often needed new perspectives, and gain new perspectives on them. Not through concrete advice, but through absolutely excellent questions and techniques that always solved what I currently needed. The sessions with Alice helped me a lot; I would like to come back to them soon and at the same time recommend them to others who want a new perspective on what is going on in their head 🙂

Coaching could stop me from shielding routines. I learned not to take the opinions of others so personally; to realize that problems need to be divided and cut into smaller parts, sorted, and approached gradually. Alice listens perfectly, analyzes the situation, and always helped me to get my bearings and look at things from a different perspective. Relevant and fun methods and exercises enriched my way of thinking about things. I really appreciate the fact that, in addition to the set goals, we were sometimes able to flexibly focus on the analysis of some currently ongoing unexpected event.

Her warm, positive, and professional approach helped me to analyze my thoughts and clarify my values ​​and goals. Thanks to her careful guidance, I received the right impulses and finally set out on my path! She never let me feel down or unable to do something! Being perfectly prepared for the session was a motivation for me.

Thanks to Alice, I lost all preconceived notions about coaching. Thank you!

Coaching with Alice was a great benefit to me and I would like to recommend her as a coach. Alice is charismatic, systematic, and demanding, but above all a great listener with a fresh approach. She was a great guide on my journey to change. Thank you!

Martin S.

IT Consultant / Business Analyst

Coaching helped me realize what values ​​are important to me at work and thus helped me choose a suitable job position in which I am now satisfied. What I appreciate most about coaching with Alice are the appropriate/relevant open questions, listening to the whole answer, and guiding the person if their thoughts stray elsewhere.

Consultant & Owner of CHANGELS plus s. r. o.

I collaborated with Alice on several projects. I had the opportunity to get to know her in the roles of project manager, lecturer, moderator, and coach. Alice is very good at listening to her clients, understanding their needs, and bringing them to desirable solutions. Above all, Alice is able to create a pleasant and creative atmosphere when meeting with clients. At work, she can pay full attention both to an individual and to the whole group. I can sincerely recommend working with Alice.

Alice is a nice coach. Together we compiled priorities and goals. She also discovered my hidden goals, which I didn’t want to tell her at the beginning, and thanks to her guidance I managed to achieve both partial and larger things that I had no motivation left for. She is very human and knows how to structure a session. She remembers things I told her even months ago. I can only warmly recommend it.

Czech Centres Brussels

Thanks to coaching with the team, we came to the topics for which we need to be more consistently devoted. We were able to define the topics precisely, agree upon their importance, focus on them further, and discuss them intensively. Thanks to Alice, we managed not to get bogged down in details and we learned about various tools of effective team communication, which we will continue to adopt and use in practice, i.e. in our daily teamwork.

Product advisor, Sales

It was intense and very rewarding. I think you do a great job of actively listening, identifying the most relevant ideas, and then presenting them to the person in a slightly different light. I felt quite comfortable in your presence for the first time- you have a kind and mindful energy.

Through her careful guidance, Alice helped me to clearly define my most pressing career dilemma and evaluate possible ways of dealing with it. This process was deeply introspective, reminding me of my core values and what success really means to me. The session made me redefine what I originally thought was the actual problem I was facing and enabled me to see things from a very different perspective. This seems truly invaluable.

Marcela Š.

PR Consultant

Alice is a very good listener, but at the same time she doesn’t let you talk endlessly. With a few questions, sometimes even on the flesh, she will lead you to open often unconsciously closed doors and you will eventually be able to answer your own questions or doubts. He will advise and show you some very interesting techniques or practical ways to help yourself and see yourself and your surroundings better.

Barbora G.

Marketing Project Manager

Alice is a professional who has allowed me to experience the true benefits of coaching in just a few sessions, which I am likely to continue in the future. I like her flexibility in tailoring each of our sessions to my current needs and mood, which she not only sensed but took an active interest in. Most of all, I thank her for the targeted and effective confidence building we did together before I started my new job, it really helped me at the time.

Lukáš K.

CEO & Chairman of the Board at Halla a.s.

I got in touch with Alice after seeing a reference to her creative approach to team coaching. I’m not a fan of traditional training, so I got in touch with Alice to see if we could work together. We started off with team coaching, then I asked her to run a management workshop with shareholders. It went really well for us. I especially liked her professional approach, how well she prepared for each event, the perfect materials and constructive feedback. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to improve internal communication between key people in the organisation, to personal coaching and to managing more challenging workshops.

Barbora Z.

Software tester

I would definitely recommend coaching with Alice to anyone who would like to work on their self, not only if you are new to coaching. I really enjoyed our time together, her guidance and couching techniques/exercises. She was patient and understanding, and helped me gain more confidence in myself and decision making.

Martin M.

People manager & Neuro-based Coach

Ali is a professional who focuses on the client and their goals in every single one of the 12 sessions. She always brings enormous energy and empathy to the session, which gave me a kick and motivated me even in difficult weeks. As a client, she gave me a lot of autonomy, but at the same time she always knew how to work on my goals and what they brought me. Coaching helped me clean up areas where I wasn’t sure what to do next and showed me how to move on.

Vojta S.

Country manager in Citadelo

Coaching helped me root out my shortcomings, define goals to eliminate them, and plan steps to fulfill those goals. Completely unobtrusively, she tells me how to find my way in my voiced thoughts about my own direction. When you’re fumbling, she’s the one to show you the way you had in front of you the whole time.

Šimon T.

Reporter

Alice is a great coach. I had no experience with coaching, but she convinced me very quickly that it made sense. The six sessions with her and the tasks she gave me really helped me a lot to move from the thoughts and ideas that were floating around in my head to making them into something tangible and decisive. I would recommend it to anyone.

Magdalena K.

Managing director at Near&Dear

Ali is an amazing woman who I have known for many years and who really found herself in her coaching role. We even started working together on several levels. On an individual level, she helps me sort out my thoughts and opinions and see things in perspective and context. At the same time, she started coaching a couple of my colleagues in the Triad, with whom she is at various stages of progress. I greatly appreciate how she has everything smoothed out from her preparation, as well as her helping hand in jointly formulating the assignment and carrying out the entire process, including continuous reality checks and feedback on the progress.

Some time ago, Ali and I embarked on team coaching and facilitation of the renewed broader management of the company. I am thrilled with how she got on with it and how we started it together and I believe that it will continue to bring excellent effects and results. Alice approaches all her work really professionally and empathetically, resourcefully and with the aim of finding the best way to help people and organizations. It creates a safe environment and takes us amazingly through all kinds of work challenges.

Lucie K.

Senior Copywriter

Meetings with Alice always filled me with pleasant energy and gave me courage and the desire to continue working on myself. I enjoyed her techniques during personal meetings and as homework, which I liked to complete voluntarily. When I didn’t understand something right away or couldn’t move for awhile, she always managed to untangle me from the chaos and showed me a direction that I might not have thought of going on my own. We simply switched together between the longer-term vision and concrete steps for the next week, which was fine with me. I will definitely come back here again!

Alana S.

The workshop was in a relaxed format and friendly atmosphere; a bit of theory but otherwise practically focused, customized to concrete problems in the company and not imaginary situations. Overall, a very good impression, despite initial concerns about “overmotivation”. I have no doubt that every participant got something out of it.

Veronika A.

Head of Social Media

Thank you very much for being able to point me in the right direction in such a short time. I like how you proceed in a systematic way and you are able to plan the time very well so that we can get everything done. We discuss what I need to work on, where I want to get to, and at the end I leave you with a concrete plan and vision.

Aneta Z. B.

Head of Customer Success

Alice has an amazing ability to make you clearly articulate what you need and want and what are the possible ways of getting there. She provides professional guidance through her personal approach. ​

Nikola L.

Senior Project Manager

Alice helped me a lot in setting goals and suggesting steps to achieve them. Together we identified patterns of behaviour that had held me back and scared me in the past and we dismantled them with surprising ease. It’s incredible how quickly I regained my motivation and courage after just a few sessions with her. I now dream again and feel less anxious.

Michal K.

Head of Employer Branding Česká Spořitelna

Alice, I felt in our meeting like I was talking to someone from another world. Your ability to perceive, not interfere and at the same time understand what I am saying is amazing. I am honestly searching for the right words to describe your abilities exactly. I would recommend that a potential client sit down with you and see for themselves.

For me, this was definitely the best meeting with a coach that I have experienced. I see a fundamental difference in the skills mentioned at the beginning of this reference. I have seen with several coaches that this is a set of well-prepared questions, but with you it was a perfectly tuned brain and 100% concentration on the client.

Žofie L.

Project manager in nonprofit sector

Thanks to the coaching with Alice, I finally got moving. She kindly but relentlessly led me to take more control of my life. She taught me to think about things and find paths forward; to overcome tasks and challenges, to cut them to pieces. I recommend it to everyone who wants to take action and is determined to do something about it. Alice was a reliable, positive, supportive, and determined guide during a difficult time of change. Thanks to her, I did not give up- I had feedback and received a lot of practical advice.

Petra J.

Co-founder of Triad Advertising Prague, Mentor

Alice can be very structured and make me literally boil my brain (in the best sense of the word), but at the same time be connected to how I feel at every moment. In the age of Covid and in a situation where the sessions took place online, I definitely consider it a superpower. She knows how to express and name ideas well; she uses great metaphors.

About halfway through the program, due to circumstances, we changed course from the original plan. It was her ability to adapt coaching to my current needs and switch from the structured fulfillment of goals to specific tips and discussion of the situations I encountered that helped me manage one of the most challenging periods in my working life. I recommend Alice to everyone.

Soňa N.

Business growth & Coach

Alice is a very pleasant, friendly, and professional coach who will give you space to think and gain new insights. She will create a great environment for you which will help you look at your life/situation from different points of view, so you will always leave with new ideas on how to achieve what you desire. She will help you uncover any internal “saboteurs” that have prevented you from moving forward until now. I definitely highly recommend her to anyone who is determined to take their life to the next level.

Thomas S.

Managing director at SABO Mobile IT

Since Alice started cooperating with SABO in 2019, she has proven herself to be multi-talented in several areas. In addition to her responsibility for HR Marketing, she organized the HR Development and internal communication as well as all staff-related company events. Also, she took responsibility for marketing, initiated a series of blogs, and helped to organize trade fairs in Germany. Alice has proven to be a well-organized person who communicates with staff and management in an efficient manner. She has helped us to create positive team spirit not only in Prague but also in the remote offices.

Vierka Š.

CEO CZ v THIS IS LOCCO

Coaching with Alice helped me to sort out my thoughts and to be able to focus on priorities in my work and personal life. I really appreciate Alice’s preparedness at every session, her ability to listen to me correctly, name things clearly and concisely, and always find the right comparison so that I can think about the topic. Even on busy days at work, I was able to stop and focus during the session with her, which was mostly thanks to Alice.

Mišo P.

Associate Creative Director

I approached the coaching with a slight skepticism, as Alice’s view was noticeably narrowed. Thanks to our sessions, I realized where my reservations lie and I became aware of the goals I want (not only) to achieve in my professional life. She helped me to develop a functional strategy, and I have to say that I have already noticed a significant positive move forward. At the same time, each of our walks was interesting and stimulating.

Alice is really empathic – she can attract good people and communicate with them completely naturally, so that you don’t even notice how open they are :). Despite the depth and complexity of the topics we dealt with, we never “lost” our knowledge- I always had the feeling that I already know where I stand and what we are actually talking about. She is motivated, structured, and at the same time funny and friendly. I really appreciate the metaphors she sometimes uses. 🙂

Renata B.

Project manager H40 Art&Digital Lab

I was very pleasantly surprised by how genuine and authentic Alice is. It helped me a lot in allaying my worries and making efficient use of her and my time. Alice’s approach was innovative, but at the same time it built on the foundations that have already been built for me over the years. She helped me step out of my comfort zone, but didn’t leave me alone. It was a positive experience for me.

Lucie R.

Marketing, HR, Communication

I would highly recommend coaching with Alice. Ali is great! She always listens and is supportive when needed, but at the same time she can push you out of your comfort zone with her questions and activities – which are usually the most useful moments. We have dealt with important and quite challenging issues together, both professional and personal, and Alice has always had lots of interesting and original activities and tasks that have helped me to look at things from a new perspective and still have fun! I always looked forward to our meetings and enjoy working with her.

Miky G.

Media Strategist

It forced me to make time for myself. I have put more structure into my personal development. Alice knows when to ask questions, when to let a person talk and think, and when to step in. I’ve got to know a bigger part of myself as a result. And most importantly, how to continue to work with it in practice.
