COACHING AND MENTORING
PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
In the pace of everyday life, it is easy to overlook personal needs and the signals that show where to move next. Coaching and mentoring offer a space to pause, look at oneself and the business from a different angle, and discover new possibilities.
Both approaches are based on personal experience – the individual is the one who knows themselves and their company best. Working together helps reveal hidden connections, strengthen what already works, and find ways to overcome what is holding things back.
REGAIN PERSPECTIVE AND CONFIDENCE
For leaders and individuals who manage teams, personal development is an investment that pays off many times over. Coaching and mentoring can bring:
Better self-understanding
When strengths and weaker points are known, it is possible to lead people more authentically and with greater confidence.
Stronger team collaboration
Understanding oneself and others opens the door to more open communication and more effective cooperation.
A clearer path to goals
When the destination is clear and there is a strategy for how to get there, achieving results becomes easier – and more motivating for the team.
Investing in coaching and mentoring is therefore not only about solving problems, but above all about strengthening oneself and the team for further growth.
COACHING or MENTORING?
Coaching and mentoring are two different approaches to personal and professional development, each with its own specific characteristics and goals.
Coaching focuses on improving performance and achieving goals through self-reflection and skills development. Coaches typically ask questions that help individuals find their own answers and increase their self-confidence.
Mentoring involves a relationship between a more experienced professional and a mentee, where the mentor passes on their knowledge and experience. This process is often less structured and may include advice, support, and guidance within specific areas or skills. The mentor can actively contribute to the mentee’s development by sharing professional expertise and life lessons.
IT WILL KEEP YOU GROWING AND ENJOYING IT
Whether choosing coaching or mentoring, it is always a partnership-based conversation between two people – one brings experience in leading similar conversations and the other brings their own topic or challenge.
In a safe and open environment, it is possible to explore new perspectives, look for connections and uncover solutions that would not have come to mind otherwise.
The work takes place in an atmosphere of ease and humour – when the client relaxes, the best ideas emerge. New possibilities are often discovered faster than expected.
Mentoring draws on personal experience in leading teams as well as proven leadership methods. Clients adopt these techniques and are then able to use them in their own practice.
Practical tools are used (e.g. NLP) that help to see things differently, get into a state of “flow” and connect thoughts so that they make more sense.
The result is greater perspective, confidence and the ability to take steps that move closer to the goal.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
Coaching and mentoring are most effective for leaders and individuals who want to move themselves and their teams forward – whether they are dealing with specific challenges or searching for a new direction.
You might recognise yourself here:
Are you starting to notice stress affecting your physical health?
Is your workload impacting the quality of your relationships outside work?
Do you have many ideas but lack the motivation to turn them into reality?
Do you feel that things in your company are not developing as you would like?
Are you starting to lose understanding with your people – or do they no longer understand you?
Do you have little time left for friends, family, or hobbies?
Do you feel unproductive?
Can you not remember the last time you felt truly happy?
Are you forgetful or easily distracted?
Do you find yourself solving everything for everyone else, with no time left for your own responsibilities?
Do you feel that you cannot please anyone?
Are you willing to make a change in your life?
If you recognised yourself in at least three of these points, it may be time to pause and make a change. A positive answer to the final question is essential for successful coaching.

What My Clients Say
In our collaboration, Simona came across as very professional and at the same time personable. The coaching sessions had a good pace and there were no empty or awkward moments. We always knew what we would focus on next and, most importantly, what we wanted to focus on. I also appreciate the wide range of topics Simona is able to cover, and how she can draw on her career as an employee – she knows the environment of companies and corporations.
I am glad that we used the time allocated for coaching effectively.
I definitely recommend Simona!
Ondřej Tichý, Aftersales Manager, ŠKODA AUTO
Simona is a true professional with a human approach. In today’s turbulent times, when situations change quickly and intensely, she never gets caught off guard and is always able to respond. Every meeting with her moves things forward and offers topics for reflection and personal development. Like a true coach, she opens doors and motivates progress.
According to feedback from colleagues, subordinates, and family, her cooperation is tangible and brings real results. Simona, thank you.
Libor Jánský, Witté Automotive
From this perspective, Simona is a coach who is truly “in the right place.” She understands very well how important it is to work with an individual’s emotional intelligence and how this well-mastered discipline is reflected in working with an entrusted team. She consciously guides people towards an authentic and functional form of leadership. In short, Simona helps companies, in a pleasant way, to be built by genuinely mature and self-aware individuals. On top of that, she is funny, which is a great asset, at least for me. A note between the lines: HR professionals who understand how important it is to work with emotional intelligence will gain a huge advantage in their field!
