Who I Am and Why I Do What I Do

My approach to coaching is based on a deep understanding of what prevents us from living life to the fullest. I have personally walked a path full of challenges – from building my own company and leading a team of 42 men to a personal transformation that led me to coaching.

For a long time, I searched for balance between success and inner peace. I believed that if I worked hard enough, everything would eventually fall into place. But life taught me that true fulfillment doesn’t come solely from achieved goals but from understanding oneself. The biggest turning point came after the death of my daughter when I fully realized how precious time is and how important it is to live a life that truly makes sense.

That’s why today I help others find their own path - not only in their careers but also in their personal lives. What fulfills me the most is working with students and people who are eager to grow. I believe that everyone has the answers within them; they just sometimes need help uncovering them.

Coaching is not just a job for me. It is a way to understand myself, grow, and live life authentically – in alignment with my values.

My Journey

My childhood and youth were not easy. Growing up in an environment where education and opportunities were not a given, I learned to rely on myself. I left home early, started by washing dishes in a hotel, and gradually worked my way up to running my own company. I led a team of 42 men, managed the company’s strategy and development, and learned on the go, facing new challenges every day. It was an incredibly valuable period full of learning but also pressure. The more my company grew, the more I realized that something was missing inside me.

During these years, I started to take an interest in psychology, personal development, and mental coaching. Gradually, I realized that this was the field that truly fulfilled me - helping people discover their potential and find their own path. After my daughter's passing, everything changed for me. It was the moment when I fully grasped the value of time and the fact that we cannot postpone life for "someday." Suddenly, it was no longer just about building a company or achieving more success, but about the question of what truly gives my life meaning.

Gradually, I began to redirect my professional path. I completed my studies in mental coaching, earned an MBA in coaching and mentoring in leadership, and delved deeper into the study of psychology and project management.

Today, I work as a mental coach, and what fulfills me the most is working with students - young people who are searching for their path. I help them find inner stability, overcome fears, and set clear steps to move forward.

Coaching is not about giving advice or providing ready-made solutions. It is a process of self-discovery that leads to clarity and actionable steps. Every person has the answers within them—they just sometimes need help uncovering them.

At the age of 25, I found my life partner, with whom I have been for 19 years. Together, we have faced challenges that we never saw as crises but as life milestones that allowed us to grow and strengthen our bond. We have two healthy sons and strive to discover the beauty of life every day.

My personal life is just as important to me as my professional one. Family is my top priority—not just as a responsibility, but as a living space where we learn to embrace life fully. My two sons are my greatest teachers. Every day, they remind me how important it is to hold onto joy, curiosity, and honesty.

Kdo jsem (jinak než jen tituly)

Znám se jako někdo, kdo propojuje hlavu a srdce.

Mám potřebu jít do hloubky, učit se a růst.

Ve své práci spojuji emoce a strategii, porozumění lidem i systémům.

Opírám se o psychologii, ale i o zkušenost z vedení týmů a projektů.

Nejsem kouč podle šablony.

Mám za sebou roky praxe s lidmi, změnami, mateřstvím, vztahy i vlastními výzvami.

Zažila jsem úspěch i ztrátu. Chvíle jistoty i chvíle, kdy jsem nevěděla, co dál.

A právě díky tomu dnes umím naslouchat s respektem a vytvořit prostor, kde se dá být opravdový.

Moje síla je v tom, že vidím souvislosti.

Umím jít do hloubky a zároveň držet směr.

My Commitment

My coaching is not just about experience - it stems from a deep belief in what I teach and a daily practice of what I stand for. Every day, I work on becoming a better version of myself and feeling at peace with who I am. I believe that the journey of growth never ends—every step forward opens new possibilities.

My goal is not perfection but true fulfillment and success that comes from within. For me, that means freedom, love around me, doing what I enjoy, and continuous growth. And that’s exactly what I help my clients achieve.

Join Me on Your Journey

If you are seeking a space for personal growth, embracing change, and exploring new possibilities, you are in the right place. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your journey towards success and fulfillment.

My Personal Touch

It is extremely important to me that we build mutual trust and understanding. That’s why I share not only my professional but also my personal side with you. I want to give you a glimpse into my world because I believe that each of us has a unique style and perspective on life. This way, you can get to know me better even before we start working together.

My Life’s Lessons

Life has brought me a series of challenges and obstacles that have shaped me and helped me become the person I am today. Work experience has given me a solid foundation for my career path, while my children have taught me countless lessons about humanity and are an endless source of inspiration.

For me, the role of a coach is not only a profession but a passion that constantly motivates me to look for new solutions. I am fascinated by human behavior, the approach to life changes, and the discovery of the essence of our existence.

Multiple Roles

I have many roles in my life: I am a woman, a mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a coach, a friend, and many others. Each of these roles enriches me and shapes my personality.

I look forward to being your guide on the journey of personal and professional growth. Together we can discover new possibilities and find ways to be better people every day.

My Philosophy

Studying and personal development are my passions. Working on myself and my inner world is essential—only when I am satisfied can my surroundings be satisfied as well.

The tragic loss of my daughter brought me a deeper awareness of the time we all have. How we use it, what we use it for, who we spend it on, and how each of us addresses happiness, life satisfaction, and the fulfillment of those around us. I realized that I will never hug my daughter again nor enjoy her presence, but I also gained a deeper understanding of my values, how much time I as a person devote to people and my interests, and how enriching it is for me.

Your Unique Journey

Each of us is on a unique journey, and coaching is my way to help you discover and fully experience this path. The change we seek and implement together stems from a deep awareness and sincere acceptance of our own needs and desires. I am here to support you in opening doors to new possibilities, sources of joy, and lasting life satisfaction.

I draw on years of experience coaching in diverse environments—from tranquil cafés to dynamic workspaces, and even in places like courts or hospitals, where emotions and tensions can be challenging. These experiences have taught me how to find peace and provide support even in the most turbulent moments.

Sometimes our meetings are planned in pleasant and inspiring settings, while at other times life brings us to situations that require a solid foundation under our feet and a clear mind. Whether it’s during a walk in nature or in the tense atmosphere of a hospital room, I am here to help you find your inner strength and overcome fear or temptation.

Regardless of where our sessions take place, my approach remains consistent: open, empathetic, and fully tailored to your needs. My practice allows me to respond flexibly and adapt so that each meeting is as beneficial for you as possible.

A Passion for Discovery and Growth

I love traveling and discovering new places. New challenges and new working methods in the work environment fill me with energy and inspiration. I am convinced that work is an integral part of our lives and should be a place where we feel happy and can fully exercise our abilities.

The Importance of Environment

For me, the environment is key. The people and surroundings we immerse ourselves in fundamentally influence the formation of our personality and character. I believe in the power of personal change and the realization that regardless of our beginnings, we always have the opportunity to change our lives for the better.
