How do you know it’s time to quit?

At one of my recent coaching sessions, a client told me about a project she had committed to correctly. She had created a space on social media where she shared her creative work. She took photos, described her process, posted when she had the energy for it, and enjoyed doing it. A few months later, […]

Why do we look for results every day?

Every day I open my phone and check. How many sales, how many new people, how much of what I’ve planted has already sprouted. I work hard – building, writing, creating – and yet when the numbers don’t reflect the effort, I feel dissatisfied. I want a harvest from something that is only now putting […]

The Undefined Will looks for its value outside

A few days ago I felt left out. Not hurt, not criticized – invisible. And of course, that immediately made me doubt my own value and contribution. Sound familiar? A few years ago, I was the one who opened doors for her and supported her when she was looking for direction. I was by her […]

The Generator and frustration

I work hard – answer every email, move every project forward, say yes to anything that looks like an opportunity. And yet, every now and then, I feel the familiar sting of frustration. I’m not sad, and I’m not tired in the usual way – something in me is just restless. Sound familiar? For a […]

Decision making process

“Strike while the iron is hot.” “Measure twice, cut once.” One says: act now. The other says: wait. Both are true. Just not for the same person. For some, the correct decision can be sensed in the moment – in the body, before the mind takes control. Waiting brings no clarity, only anxiety. For others, […]

The empty head

The first time I saw my Human Design chart, my reaction was immediate: offence and hurt. I have an empty head! How could my head be empty, when the mind is the main instrument I use to follow my curiosity, earn my living and get to know the world? The center of inspiration and the […]

The identity center: do you know who you are?

All my life I’ve been searching for myself, and I still don’t have a clear sense of who I am. I behave differently with different people; I feel like a leaf torn from a tree and tossed around by the wind. I don’t know who I am. I don’t know where I’m going. I have […]

The five Human Design types – which one are you?

The people who come to me almost always arrive with the same question: “Why doesn’t it work for me the way it does for others?” They work hard. They follow the steps. They do the right things. And still they feel like they’re swimming against the current. Most of the time, the answer isn’t in […]

Conditioning: are you living your own life?

I was doing everything that was expected of me. I studied diligently, worked hard, made the right decisions (according to my lists of pros and cons). I believed in logic and followed the order of things. And while I was accumulating outer achievements, a suspicion was quietly ripening inside me – one I couldn’t explain […]

Vision, mission, values

For everyone who has ever worked in a large organization (and often in a smaller one), “vision”, “mission”, and “values” have probably lost their meaning and sound hollow. Artificially selected buzz words that – instead of helping us understand and incorporate the long-term company goals into our day-to-day work, provide the unnecessary pressure of having […]

Male and female qualities – myth or reality?

Men are active, assertive, strong, determined, out in the world. Women are passive, gentle, fragile, flexible, nourishing, soft, caring. Since I was a teenager, generalizations fire me up as much as injustice and mediocrity. Bulgarians are thick. The French are arrogant. “A”- students are nerds. Beautiful women are stupid. Men are providers, women are caretakers. […]

How to own your career

Having consulted numerous clients with different professional backgrounds, career stages and levels of self-awareness, as well as goals varying from quick change of jobs to long term life purpose coaching, I summarized a few guidelines, which would be useful irrespective of where you are in your career journey. These thoughts will help you if you […]
