“We have been working with Iva for over 18 months now. Her support, understanding, flexibility and delivery are unmatched. From very first engagement Iva understood our needs as an organisation and as team and tailored each and every one of the sessions to cover exactly what we needed at the time. She’s been doing monthly sessions for us, which she prepares bespoke for our teams’ needs, meaning her delivery isn’t only limited to the 1-hour session, but she works with us throughout the month to understand our requirements, prepare a good pre-brief to encourage employees to attend this added value sessions and deliver the session as such. The material she prepares is really comprehensive, she is clear and knowledgeable, and put special focus on making it an interactive event, which has been key to augment attendance month after month. We look forward to continuing working with Iva and would recommend her to any organisation wanting to upskill their teams.”

“Beyond all my expectations 🙂 Having someone listen to me—neutral, professionally trained, experienced in working with people like me—and provide an objective perspective and non-judgmental advice and guidance on how to become a better version of myself and improve the things that hinder me from being even more professional and having quality communication with colleagues and external partners, all while maintaining my authenticity.

Three key insights or benefits from our coaching:

• A higher level of self-confidence
• Understanding processes and skills for managing people
• How to manage my reactions in relationships with other people and situations.

I would recommend Iva Freeman to anyone who wants to quickly see positive changes in themselves, even for those things we think are beyond help. :)”

E. S. Director of Brand Identity and Communication Services

“Working with Iva has been transformative. Through our coaching, I redefined my approach to leadership, addressing three key goals: reinventing myself by replacing unhelpful patterns with more effective behaviors, learning to adapt to diverse team dynamics across generations, and understanding the root causes of my micromanagement tendencies.

I’ve gained clarity on the importance of building trust, adjusted my communication to connect better with different personalities, and adopted tools that help me stay focused while reducing distractions. This process has not only enhanced my professional performance but also brought more balance and satisfaction to my daily work. Iva’s coaching helped me unlock new possibilities and achieve lasting positive change.”

S.M. Corporate Marketing Director

“The goal of coaching was to support and guide me toward personal growth and progress, focusing on areas like boosting self-confidence, building resilience, and taking control of life situations through better delegation, prioritization, time management, assertiveness, and personal strength.

Since we began, my perspective has shifted significantly. I’ve experienced a transformation in how I approach daily situations, emphasizing personal composure, surrounding myself with supportive individuals, celebrating small victories, and separating feedback from my self-worth. I’ve also realized the power of truly listening without assumptions. This journey has been instrumental in building a more confident and balanced version of myself.”

S. P. Lead Category Manager in Business Unit

“The goal of coaching was to motivate team leaders, raise awareness of key areas, responsibilities, and their roles in upcoming changes, and improve processes and business operations. Additionally, we aimed to identify the reasons behind a lack of self-motivation in individuals for further development.

During the first coaching series, I noticed significant progress, and the additional  sessions allowed for a deeper dive into each team leader’s development.

The coaching sessions provided practical advice and tools tailored to real-life situations, which helped me change my approach to structuring work with my team. I’ve implemented new tools and methods that have improved my time management and communication.

I appreciate Iva’s patience, flexibility, and ability to adapt the coaching approach to my changing circumstances. The sessions have been truly valuable, and I’m very satisfied with the progress made.”

R. B. IT Technical Manager

“From the very first meeting with Iva, we established open communication, which helped me realize how accurately I had identified the areas that needed development. Iva guided me in examining specific situations from multiple perspectives, properly evaluating possible solutions, and proposing the right actions to take.

Overall, I found the collaboration both pleasant and incredibly beneficial, with an almost therapeutic effect 😊.”

One of the highlights, was the focus on the latest technologies and best practices in IT hardware stock management.
