“Two of the goals I had when starting to work with Irina were: becoming a more impactful individual contributor, as well as figuring out whether I wanted to switch to the engineering management path from an individual contributor software engineering role. Throughout my coaching sessions with Irina we worked on both of those goals, as well as so much more: from confidence building, to leadership skills, overcoming impostor syndrome, as well as effective communication. Her sessions helped me successfully lead a couple of big projects I was having some challenges with, while helping me manage the stress of such projects. She also helped me work out my reasons for wanting to become an engineering manager, which I eventually did switch to. As a fellow woman in tech I am always so inspired by Irina, her journey, her experience, and her insights. She has the wonderful ability to help you with just the right example, the right phrase, the right suggestion. It is not often that you get to feel so in sync with a coach and mentor, but that is exactly how I feel since I started working with Irina. I strongly recommend her coaching practice.”

What are some common causes of feedback resistance and how can you avoid them?
One of the most overlooked aspects of building trust is time. You cannot shortcut your way to trust. Building trust takes a lot of time and goes hand in hand with consistency. It is not enough to show genuine interest and empathy once, it needs to be a consistent behavior over time. In addition, to build trust with someone else, you need to be a trustworthy person to begin with. What this means is: to be impeccable with your word and match that with your actions. Do what you say you'd do. Follow through. Let your actions tell the story of how trustworthy you are!
