Between May 11 and 17, 2026, ICF Romania joins the global movement to celebrate International Coaching Week (ICW). This week is an open invitation to HR people and leaders, as well as to all those interested in coaching. It is the moment when professional coaches reveal their practice, tools, and principles, giving you the opportunity […]

I heard this idea on a podcast, and it worked as a good reminder: in many Romanian fairy tales, there is only one hero (the main character, the one who sets out on the journey, the one who has to go through trials, the one who defeats the dragon). Except that he is never alone. […]

A long time ago, probably during school, I understood that I was inconvenient enough to be felt, but good enough to be needed. It wasn’t a clear conclusion at the time. It was more of a feeling. That kind of subtle tension that occurs when you say what is on your mind and notice how […]

Iași, February 2026 How often do you let your decisions be influenced by fear, fatigue, or the expectations of others? Self-leadership is about learning to lead yourself: with clarity, responsibility, and confidence. Self-leadership begins when you no longer expect someone else to lead you. Self-leadership does not mean doing more; it means consciously choosing who […]

Over time, I was lucky to have managers who told me “You have to prepare yourself because, at some point, you can take over my position.” I was lucky to have them because they held up a mirror to me, and thanks to them, I gained the confidence to do more. But I also had […]
