My initial coaching with Ilona began when she helped me successfully navigate the difficult transition from managing tasks to leading people. Her coaching focused on effective ways to communicate my values and contribution to leadership. Through the coaching process I realized I could no longer be apolitical. I learned to embrace the dynamics of the company, my partners, and my team. Today, I am far more aware of creating and nurturing relationships with others in the organization to solve long- and short-range challenges, and I am a lot more successful and respected as a result of this change.
Ilona is a true professional gifted with the art of understanding human behavior and the ability to solicit the hidden characteristics within to become a better leader, coworker, friend, and human being. I often refer to this experience as the best gift my supervisor could have given me. I hope that all leaders get an opportunity to experience a similar journey at least once in their career.
