Strategic Team Dynamics Insight

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

As a high-level coach, Daria supported our team between the sessions and afterwards, suggesting various steps to strengthen the culture of leadership interaction.

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 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.

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 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.
