Energy Trader, Switzerland
“The coaching session really opened my eyes to some deep behavior patterns and roadblocks I’ve been stuck in for a long time. I learned how to actually notice when I hit one of those internal walls—how it feels, how it shows up—and what to do when it happens. Instead of freezing or avoiding it, I’ve learned to face it and keep moving forward, even when fear shows up like a mountain in front of me. I learnt to stay on my own track, being true to my values—even when it’s hard. The sessions helped me understand where my values really lie, and how sometimes they create tension in my professional life. You want to do the right thing, but it clashes with what’s expected. This coaching gave me tools to deal with those conflicts, without losing myself. What hit me most is how much of our behavior runs on autopilot. There are patterns rooted way back in past experiences—things we don’t even realize we’re repeating. When a reaction hits, I can now spot it, question it, and choose differently. That’s the shift.”
Inès Fouesnant, Zug Chapter Lead for Women In Digital Switzerland
“With a vibrant energy and a touching authenticity, Tünde embarked us on an interactive workshop "Build Your Personal Brand & Lead With Confidence Through Change". We explored the notion of personal branding and the powerful B.R.A.N.D. tool to stand out. We left re-energized."
Head of Business Development, Banking, Switzerland
"Tünde's coaching is like a key that opens doors to new perspectives. She shows you how to use challenges as a springboard for your development. I found it particularly helpful how she used my drawings to visualize my thoughts and feelings – that really helped me to recognize unconscious patterns. I felt very well taken care of by her and strengthened after each session."
Alina Ispas, Lausanne Chapter Lead for Women in Digital Switzerland
“Tünde's powerful message on navigating uncertainty and choosing mindset over fear truly resonated with our audience. Tünde’s CHANGE framework sparked meaningful reflection and gave us tools we can all carry forward — both professionally and personally.”

Energy Trader, Switzerland
"Everyone’s carrying the same struggle in different forms. Same story, different topics. You feel lost, disconnected, or like you keep ending up in the same situations—and this coaching helps you break that loop. Step by step, you start to reconnect with what actually matters to you. It also helped me start shaping my personal image—one that’s not fake or polished, but genuinely rooted in my core values. And yeah, Tünde’s style is personal, sharp, sometimes direct, but always real. One line that stuck with me was: “You say you value fairness, but if you don’t communicate, how is that fair to others?” That hit hard. Still echoes in my head. Looking back, this experience gave me clarity, tools, and a deeper understanding of myself that I didn’t have before."
Katharina Schlittler Country Manager Switzerland + Austria, Voi Technology / TCS Zürich, Switzerland
