What is Coaching?

Heroes don't beat the dragons alone. As they embark on the new adventure, heroes seek out helpers who provide them with wisdom, inspiration, and guidance needed to win their battle.

This is where coaching comes in. To put your brilliance to work, a coach will help you crystalize your aspirations, question your limiting beliefs, and cultivate a winning mindset and approach that works for you.

Think of coaching as a collaborative partnership, rather than a one-way street. A coach is not there to give you advice or mentor you, but to help facilitate your own learning and transformation through listening, asking questions, and providing relevant tools.

As with all other heroes out there: the answers you're seeking already lie within you. Let's find them!  



Who I work with?

I have coached individuals of all ages and walks of life, helping them create more self-awareness, step out of their comfort zone, and guide them through big and small life changes.

While I specialize in working with rising women leaders and female founders who are seeking more clarity, balance, and impact in their careers and private lives, many men reach out to me due to my soft, warm, and down-to-earth approach to coaching.

I'm always happy to connect and explore whether I'm the right coach for you.

Practicalities

Like you, I value quality over quantity, depth over superficiality, lasting over quick-fix. Therefore, I only work with a limited number of clients each year.

Our coaching engagement typically starts with getting to know each other in a short discovery call to see if I'm the right coach for you. From there, we together design your personalized coaching program that fits your schedule, wants, and needs.

Sessions are usually 60-90 min long, spanning 4-6 months at the time. We meet every second week, either in-person (Copenhagen, Ljubljana) or online.

Rates vary depending on number of sessions. Regardless of program length, you should expect the same kind of intensity and commitment.

What people I work with say

"My sessions with Neva provided me with the calm and clarity needed to have a better perspective of what I seek both professionally and personally. Thanks to her kind guidance, I now feel more confident to set healthier boundaries and lead with more ease. I am grateful for her support."
‍—
Blaž Kurnik, Head of Group, Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation, European Environment Agency
"What I liked the most was the feeling of safety and trust that Neva created during our coaching sessions. For me those are very important as a base of coach & coachee relationship as we might touch upon vulnerable layers. Knowing and feeling that Neva is there, holding space with her presence and simple yet impactful questions, allowed me to go deeper into myself, find answers and see how I can actually implement them in reality, through daily habits, for example. As someone who has challenges receiving but is very good at giving, one of the learning from the sessions was that I can allow myself and deserve to receive support. I learned how important it is to have containers where we can explore parts of selves with others' guidance and presence. We have the answers and coaching with Neva supported me to bring the answers to light and give them voice too."
