This is What People Say

“When I first started working with Iulia through the Executives in Leadership program, I was at a crossroads in my career. I was an Attractions Cast Member at the Disneyland Resort, and while I loved being part of Disney, I felt stuck and uncertain about my next step. I had two very different paths in front of me: one was leaving Disney for a full-time role in insurance with higher pay and strong benefits, and the other was staying with the company by taking on the part-time opportunity in a more prestigious area, one that came with a pay cut and a lot of uncertainty.

Through my conversations with Iulia, I was able to slow down and truly evaluate what I wanted long-term. She helped me break down the pros and cons in a way that went beyond just finances and job titles. Instead, we focused on growth, fulfillment, and where each path could ultimately lead. That shift in perspective was incredibly powerful. With her guidance, I chose to take the leap and accept the part-time role within Disney, trusting that it would open doors in the future.

That decision ended up being transformative. Working in Premium Experiences allowed me to grow professionally, build new skills, and expand my network within the company. Just one year later, those experiences led to a full-time professional role with Disney, something I'm not sure I would have achieved had I chosen the other path. I'm incredibly grateful for Iulia's guidance. She didn't just help me make a decision, she helped me see what was truly possible for my career and gave me the confidence to pursue it.”

“I was feeling overwhelmed with the job search and unsure how to stand out or negotiate my worth. Working with Iulia completely changed that. She helped me refine my resume so it truly showcased my strengths, guided me through behavioral interview prep, and gave me strategies to approach applications and networking with confidence. When it came to salary negotiations, her advice was practical, empowering, and gave me the courage to ask for what I deserved. Even after landing my job, I still use the frameworks and tips she shared every day.”

“I had the privilege of working with Iulia during grad school, at a time when I was trying to return to the workforce after a 5-year career break. I came in convinced I was too far behind to catch up — and that belief was quietly holding me back.

Iulia's approach was unlike anything I had experienced. She never gave surface-level advice. Everything she shared was practical, grounded, and tailored to exactly where I was. She helped me define a clear path, think through my decisions, and build meaningful connections that made a real difference.

The moment that stayed with me was when I was ready to give up. She held me accountable — not with empty reassurance, but with honest, steady guidance that made me look at myself differently and keep going.

That's when the shift happened. I stopped focusing on how far behind I was and started focusing on where I was headed. I was able to re-enter the workforce, and more importantly, I now approach challenges with a level of clarity and confidence I didn't have before.

She didn't just support my career — she helped me step into my own potential.”

“Working with Iulia was a turning point in both my personal and professional life. Her coaching approach felt deeply personalized — she asked the right questions, listened with genuine care, and helped me build a clearer picture of what I actually wanted. The frameworks she shared gave me a roadmap I still refer to today.”
