Testimonials
“Going into the first coaching session I was a little skeptical that it would make any significant change in my life, but I surprised myself with how valuable it became for me within a relatively short space of time.
Larissa created a very constructive and safe atmosphere, in which I felt able to unlock more of my own potential.
She provided guidance and insights enabling me to take action towards achieving my goals, and even establish new ones I didn’t realise I had.
The experience continues to be very rewarding both personally and professionally.”

„Larissa accompanied me in a coaching session to find out my strengths and to build up my personal brand. Her empathetic way of working made me feel safe to share my current professional situation with her. She also dealt specifically with my individual situation and helped me to reflect, to take on other perspectives and to strengthen my self-confidence. The coaching was very goal-oriented and helped me to develop a concrete plan for building my personal brand.“
„Deciding to go for self-employment is not an easy decision to make and to embrace. The coaching with Larissa has been very helpful, especially at the beginning when there are many ideas to be organized. What I like most are the methods she uses to let myself find the answers to my own questions. The atmosphere in our coaching sessions was always adequate to analyze and find solutions. The coaching has helped me to bring those good ideas into action and to move forward. Now, I can evaluate situations and circumstances from different perspectives and decide accordingly. Normally, the opinion and advice from the people around us aren’t impartial, therefore the guidance of a professional and experienced coach like Larissa is of great value. I highly recommend her.“
„I used the coaching to help me in the transition to a new job and the challenges that came along with it: new colleagues, no experience on the topic, different working environment, etc. Instead of giving me straight answers or solutions to my problems, Larissa guided me to develop a plan on my own to overcome these challenges. After the coaching I felt more confident and able to use some tools she gave me to apply not only at work but in different aspects of life.“
„I had several coaching sessions with Larissa, on topics around professional growth and performance reviews, and I am glad to say that I have benefitted from all of them. Larissa provided a safe and comfortable space for an open discussion, which I see as a prerequisite for any coaching initiative. During the coaching sessions, Larissa guided our discussions in a way that enabled me to think out loud, reflect to find the right answers and develop a perspective of my own. “
„I worked with Larissa over a period of half a year to progress my career, focusing on self- vs. external perception and improving work relationships. With her curiosity, active listening skills and her reliability, Larissa helped me to not only establish mid-term goals but also to take actions towards achieving those goals. After our sessions where I learned a lot about my blind spots, I felt empowered and equipped to become a better leader. “
„I needed professional guidance and someone that I could trust and that would be external to my environment to be able to give structure to my thoughts. In this context, the coaching sessions were extremely valuable because they helped me to better define myself professionally when I needed it the most. Larissa has a unique way to guide someone in a very comfortable, trustful but at the same time professional environment. “
„I felt in very good hands with Larissa and had room to express my personal thoughts in a protected atmosphere. In the coaching sessions, I always gained new insights about myself, with which I could continue to work and understood myself better.“
„Larissa creates conditions where dialogues flourish. She is an excellent listener and has a wide range of tools and techniques to facilitate coaching. Our session was concise and most effective.“
„My impression was very positive, above all I had not expected to arrive at concrete insights and decisions during the first meeting. Larissa has a very pleasant way of conducting the conversation while being friendly and empathetic, at the same time she works very methodically and goal-oriented.The conversation was very trusting. At no point did I feel judged, but thanks to active listening and well applied methodology, I was gently and efficiently led to important insights and questions. “
„Larissa was warm and friendly from the very start, I felt very comfortable and opening up came natural to me. I think that’s one of the most essential things to achieve as a coach. Larissa made me reflect on certain aspects to improve that I had not paid much attention to. I had a few great insights which helped me start to view a different perspective to my work situation. In just an hour, I felt like I was already on the right path towards being more productive and motivated at work. Almost three months later, I can confirm that my work has been more productive and stress-free since our session.“
„I liked Larissa’s approach of having a structured guidance through key questions that led me through this process: identify issue, consider chances and challenges, define a detailed action plan. The atmosphere was a trustful and comfortable one; Larissa is a nice and open person which makes discussions run fluently. I realized that I am not the only person having that issue and I have learnt to be more relaxed when looking for solutions and redefine my priorities to achieve my objective. The coaching made me think about the topic from different angles and helped me find a solution by myself.“
„Working out my professional strengths and goals together with Larissa was like going on an exciting discovery journey . Thanks to her structure of conversation and the numerous valuable approaches, I was able to regain clarity about my current situation and to get into action with pleasure. With her support I was able to independently make new plans for my further professional career. I experienced her as an understanding, competent and absolutely trustworthy coach.“
„I experienced a very professional coaching session with a high feel-good factor! Thanks to Larissa I achieved a great result and directly recommended her to friends and colleagues who have already made a similar experience.“
„During the coaching with Larissa I realised that the cause of my dissatisfaction was a lack of self-determination. With her help I was able to increase this significantly and thus gain more satisfaction in my private and professional life.“
„The coaching with Larissa was very pleasant and constructive, both in personal and virtual appointments. I felt in good hands to open up with my topics. Larissa gave objective feedback (unlike a conversation with a friend) as well as new impulses, which serve as a guideline for me to find solutions to challenges myself. We worked out concrete suggestions that I could use to solve problems.“
„The coaching helped me to develop a more positive view by focusing on my strengths. It made me rethink and reengineer my decision of changing my career field.“
„My overall experience in three words: time well invested! Even if I am familiar with the concept of coaching and practice it myself, this was a very satisfying experience. I started with a concern into which I have put a lot of thought already and I had some “predefined” idea in my head; but I was never able to put specific words to a personal “vision”. Throughout my conversation with Larissa, I managed to describe that vision with my own words. I am now able to elaborate my ideas related to that topic and narrow them down to a specific set of actions and even a timeline.
The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, it felt relaxing and at the same time purpose-oriented. My topic was around the next move in my career, and the session helped me to calm my anxiety about it. It helped me to focus on a vision and to develop steps to get there, rather than just having anxious thoughts without a plan.
I entered with a mind in disorder and came out of the session with much more clarity.“
„I wanted to invest time on me: thinking about the next steps of my professional career keeping in mind what I wanted for my personal life. Larissa helped me to ask myself the correct questions. Sharing the answers to these questions helped me to set tangible targets and steps.
During the coaching sessions, Larissa never judged me or try to make me act or answer in a certain way. I could share my thoughts openly, there were no prejudices. It felt like an open discussion, but very goal-oriented, with a very professional atmosphere. It made me take the necessary time to know more about myself.
I strongly recommend it to everyone.“
