Daria Rudnik

The Skoltech team would like to thank Daria Rudnik, Olga Lavrenko, Natalia Gulchevskaya, Natalia Smurova for the successful project on coaching teams of the Human Resources, the Department of Research Contracts Department, and the Sponsorship Programs Department. The project provided high-level professional support to the teams to rally around the goals and values of the Institute, as well as to solve organizational and individual tasks of the participants.

Daria is truly a great coach and was really focused on connecting and finding strategies to the situation I addressed. I honestly recommend Daria if you are looking for a mentor and coach and leadership expert that can give you meaningful insights.

Daria is a wonderful and thoughtful coach who asks probative questions to facilitate an understanding of why one is undertaking certain behaviors and how to change to create meaningful impact. She is extremely kind and a great listener. It was a pleasure working with her!

Daria has a way of looking at things objectively which is very inspiring! She helped reorganize my thoughts and have a narrow focus on what I really want for the next step of my career and my leadership ambitions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional coach, on top of that she is extremely nice and knows how to listen to others.

Daria Rudnik is a fantastic business coach. Her gentle style and support have helped me tremendously. With a combination of insight, patience and humour, Daria is guiding me through the coaching process. With the work on values, she is helped me lay a foundation for future choices and helping me balance the different aspects of my life. Along the way, there are also fun, practical suggestions which helped me move forward.

Daria was great at providing feedback, asking meaningful questions, and being a knowledgeable expert. She helped me gain insight into my leadership style in terms of the GC Index and better understand ways to improve my performance and management skills. I highly recommend Daria, as she is professional as well as respectful and mindful.

Daria has helped us to have better clarity as we finalize our Strategic Direction for the next 3 years. She tactfully facilitated a strategy session and helped us to answer some of the difficult questions we had. The honest feedback we received from the network members can only come when a facilitator listens and supports a group to do strategic thinking. The PELUM Zimbabwe network remains grateful.

I want to thank Daria Rudnik and Natalia Gulchevskaya for the professional support they have provided during the team coaching of my team. We’ve been working with a team of 5 people for a period of 6 months (fall 2020 – spring 2021). The coaches helped me as a team leader to identify priorities that helped me to focus on more systemic and strategic tasks. I have restructured the work of my department so that the team members became more independent in decision making, communication with the executive team, and starting up new initiatives. For my team, the team coaching helped to understand their roles more clearly, boosted cross-communication and collaborations, and mutual personal and professional support.
The other very important benefit of this team coaching program is that it was not a short-term result but we now have principles that we use in our day-to-day work. And I thank the coaches for that.

Daria presented the tool thoroughly, and provided results and feedback professionally. I definitely recommend Daria to those who are interested.

I really appreciate Daria taking the time and helping me understand my leadership profile. She helped me interpret my Game Changer profile and identify my strengths and weeknesses. Some of the results came as a surprise to me. With insightful questions, she helped me formulate how I can leverage these strengths to better launch my own business.

I recommend Daria as very professional coach. We had several coaching sessions with Daria and I was astonished by the result. On the first session we've made an inventory of what needs to be developed to pursue new career opportunities, identifies the steps and got the energy to move forward. It was such a kick off for me that I managed to take first steps (namely find a proper MBA program and register for it) in a fortnight. It was a real pleasure to work with Daria. She was very easy going, but kept the line strongly. Her empathy and skill in addressing the real bottle-necks marks Daria as an exceptional career coach.

I recommend working with Daria if you're looking for a leadership coach. She helped me quickly overcome a problem I'd been struggling with for a long time. She asks great questions and has a supportive coaching style. We conducted a GC Index session, which helped me identify and understand more about my strengths and growth areas and highlighted some interesting blindspots

Daria is an excellent coach who provides valuable insights and creates a supportive environment. I highly recommend working with her.

ZetTenology, a leading manufacturer of high-quality hygiene products such as wet wipes, moist toilet paper, and private label toilet soap for major retailers, has been cooperating with Team Coaching Alliance since 2021. Specifically, team coaches Natalia Smourova, Olga Lavrenko, and Daria Rudnik were tasked with the leadership development of a newly formed executive team, which underwent significant renewal by the end of 2021 due to rapid business growth.
Natalia, Daria, and Olga facilitated two team sessions for the leadership team. As a result, the team developed the Leadership Code, which outlines the basic principles of behavior, key leadership competencies relevant to the company in its current phase of organizational development, and individual development steps for each team member.
As high-level coaches, Olga, Natalia, and Daria provided ongoing support to our team, both during and after the sessions. They suggested various steps to strengthen the culture of leadership interaction and took great responsibility to ensure that the transformation process was not confined to the leadership sessions but became a part of the team’s everyday life.
The session participants expressed positive feedback on the work of Daria, Natalia, and Olga, who successfully created an atmosphere of openness and effective teamwork by gaining the trust of all participants.
We sincerely thank Natalia Smurova, Olga Lavrenko, and Daria Rudnik for their fruitful cooperation!

I highly recommend Daria Rudnik as a coach and the GC Index assessment she uses to help uncover personal strengths and energy for impact. This assessment gave me a fresh perspective on my potential, helping me realize that I already possess the energy and capabilities to shape my career path in a way that aligns with my aspirations. While there are still skills I need to develop, understanding my strengths and potential limitations has empowered me to approach my growth more strategically. I would definitely recommend working with Daria to anyone who is ready to explore their potential and take meaningful steps toward creating the future they envision for their career.

I highly recommend Daria as a mentor for career development. I had the pleasure of being mentored by her and learned a great deal about myself, my career goals, and the necessary skills to achieve them. Daria consistently showed patience and support, assisting me in setting realistic goals and creating a plan to attain them. Daria's exceptional skill in active and empathetic listening was truly something I treasured. She consistently made an effort to comprehend my individual circumstances and difficulties, offering me tailored guidance and assistance. Overall, my experience being mentored by Daria was extremely positive. I highly recommend her as a career development mentor to anyone.

Daria is a great coach and I liked that she challenged my ideas.
