I was paired up with Mirja for the coaching sessions within the UN Secretariat Executive Management Programme in July 2019... Mirja is and excellent listener; she helps you explore all the options without forcing your decision. She is flexible and manages time perfectly without rushing the other person. She never looks judgmental and follows you without telling you what you should or should not do. She never brings any moral judgement in the conversation and does not force words in your mouth.... She made me realize that I had a strong moral compass that is blocking me from making though decisions. If I did, I used the reactive approach. For example, I could put up with some attitudes that are clearly bothering from supervisors and colleagues just to keep the peace. She helped me find the right way to express my disapproval without being confrontational. She also made me find ways to set realistic goals to myself and to the staff reporting to me... In short, Mirja helped me connect with my True Self and find my unique leadership style. Today I have overcome a lot of challenges that would have been almost impossible to face without the insights I got through the coaching of Mirja. She is simply great at what she does!
