Testimonials
Ana is one of the kindest and most empathetic people I know. I learned so much from her even before we spoke directly, simply through observing her interactions, insights, and the thoughtful way she responded to queries and offered guidance during discussions.
Ana has mentored me on numerous occasions, covering a variety of topics. She has always been patient with my questions, whether posed through text messages, voice notes, or video calls. Her deep insights into coaching and branding, coupled with her genuine presence during our conversations, have been immensely helpful to me.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone seeking coaching or mentorship.

I would like to thank you for being a perfect guide and partner through my coaching process.
In just a few sessions you managed to inspire, motivate and walk me through my internal change. The beginning was difficult and required the biggest effort to clearly state the goal and areas to work on. You helped me create a list of actions (actually many lists of many actions :)) and steps that would make me achieve what I planned.
I had a chance to analyse what blocks me and what motivates me, what is my impact on other people I work with.
You proposed to write down all small successes on a regular basis and that gave me even more power.To my surprise with every week I felt more and more confident in my decisions, during meetings with leaders, raising issues and so on. I feel satisfied when working on stable and strong relationships in my workplace.
I received a good workshop on useful tools and how to use them in my personal growth.

Iolanda Humă - Professional Make-up Artist
”I am very lucky to have Ana as a mentor and a coach. When we first met, I was struggling in a quite challenging leadership role. After talking with Ana, I felt very inspired and thought "why cant I talk to my team members this way? " Then Ana provided a lot of suggestions and resources for me to have conversations with my team members one by one. I am so glad i made that effort, because that was the shining point of that leadership experience of mine. Ana is easy to talk to, and always ready to help. And she reads a lot, she has books for almost every problem of mine :D”

”Ana helped me find within myself the answers to many of the aspects that were bothering me in the way I was using my time in a day. I managed to achieve all the goals I set before starting the sessions with her, thanks to the safe space that Ana created during the sessions, the resources she provided and the questions she asked to guide me towards the real challenge I was facing. I surprised myself that I was able to make the changes I wanted without it seeming difficult, in record time.”
Denisa - student
”The first discussion with Ana was pretty ordinary ... that's what I thought. It's just that in the next two days following our first discussion, I have completed some projects that I have been postponing for more than half a year. And I was like "wow".”
Ana inspires. She's the kind of person you have a friendly chat with over a coffee and leave with transformative insights.
Ana urges you to dare. First, to dare to dream. And not anyway, but in detail. Then, to dare to take risks, that is, to act. And the stages of the process settle in your mind like a comfortable blanket and, without you realizing it, things begin to happen, to be as they should be.
Ana is an extraordinary guide. A year ago, I was "dreaming" guided by Ana, during a coaching session, where I see myself in a year: "If you would not have the obstacles from now, where will you be in a year?". And I was dreaming beautifully. Dreams…
Now, it is Sunday morning and a mild sun. And I am where I dreamed of being a year ago, even more.
I learned that obstacles are just thoughts seen in a personal way. I learned that no matter what thoughts I have, I have the power to choose to believe in them or not. I chose not to. I learned that I have the power to act.
I appreciate Ana's passion with which she dedicates herself to the coaching activity, that she specializes in and continuously improves, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs to dream in order to evolve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Ana!

”I appreciate most the professionalism and quality of advise. I felt being <<in good hands>>.”
-Oana B. - Software Engineer
”I felt Ana M. Marin being very present in the connection with me, asking with a delicate curiosity the right questions that allowed me to become more aware about thinking and acting habits, both the limitative ones and the ones which serve me.”
- Olivia Sabau, Joy Resources Hub
”Coach Ana makes good use of time in coaching sessions. Efficient in resolving the questions I ask. Ana asks nice question set when I am stuck with my own thinking. By answering her questions set, I will think differently along the way. For example, I have been stuck with 2 major problems for long. Just talk with Ana for 2 times, Ana was able to help me to fix the problems by knowing the root cause and taking the baby step toward improvement.”
Sandy Tseng - Teacher
”They say within each of us lies a better, powerful, unique self that needs to be discovered. It is also true that it has to be a special person to discover a hidden treasure.Ana is not only a very good professional but a gifted, charismatic one that puts passion in everything she does. I call her "Amazing Ana". I dare you to unleash the amazing within yourselves! :)”
A.P. - Team Manager
”During only 5 hours of meetings, Ana helped me achieve more than I initially hoped for. Setting a goal and then reaching it is no easy task, especially when you feel very disoriented because of everything going on around you and in your life. However, I was able to do that and, on top of everything, I have learned the importance of understanding myself, along with means to do so, slowly and steadily. Ana may say that I have done most of the work on my own, but I truly believe most credits go to her – it takes a good one to make you feel safe pouring out your thoughts.
