Escuchar How I met my Mentor

For our 14th episode we have✨Bela Stankova ✨ as our mentor, originally from Bulgaria and based in Belgrade. She is a Leadership 💡 and Executive Coach 💼 specialized in Leadership Development, Executive Presence, Productivity and Career Advancement 💫. Bela started her career in HR and quickly climbed up the corporate ladder🎢. Later in her career, she became an entrepreneur with her own coaching practice, where she shares her unique down-to-earth 🌎 and practical approach. During this journey, one of her biggest learnings is that work is not everything, it is always important to align with your inner priorities and your energy 💜. As an expert in soft skills, we learn from Bela that these are "skills that can break or make your career". Credentials, experience and personality trades will get you a job but, do you want to advance in your career? 🤔 Then invest in growing your soft skills 💪🏼. We discuss amongst others: Internal self-confidence, being politically savy, build partnerships and selected vulnerability 💕. We navigate with Bela the difference and connection between mentorship 🌺 (for advice), sponsorhip 🙋🏽‍♀️(more transactional and that believes in your potential) and coaching👩🏽‍💼👩🏼‍💼 (to find answers from the inside out). She definitely recommends us to have the three of them, to keep growing both personally and professionally ☀️. Do you want to learn about soft skills that will move you forward? She shares with us lots of tools and tips that you can apply. Also we reflect together on self-awareness, being consistent with who you are and selecting your priorities. Intrigued?
