Something wonderful happened to Oana when she became a mother. This biggest role of her life inspired her to press the refresh button. For instance, she started writing a personal blog.

Also, she embraced a career change after nine years of research and teaching experience at the Hanken School of Economics and Aalto School of Business.

In 2014, she got certified as a coach.

And in March 2017, she got her second certification grounded in social neuroscience, from the NeuroLeadership Institute in Helsinki.

Her appetite for becoming better in her role as a coach and trainer grows with each customer interaction. One of the most valuable rewards she gets is to see the smiles of insight on her clients’ faces and watch their gait transform into a walk on clouds after their sessions with her.
