When I started my agency I didn’t know how to run a business or manage customers. I really wanted help with laying the framework for my business and setting up the system.  I have met half a dozen consultants through my local networking groups, mostly sales guys that signed up for some “business coach in a box program” or “conscious business mastery course” that had zero practical knowledge about running their own business. Enter C project. I connected with Cristina at a KVK event. In the follow-up, she was very open about the expertise she can bring and areas that are better left to other experts. The first session was free, (which I found refreshing) and I walked away with  valuable advice on business models that I could apply myself right away. I signed C Project and Cristina & team did a fantastic job in helping me set up (most) of my business, from brand strategy to processes, IT platforms and business plans. The support I got from C Project was very practical and provided me with a focused approach, which led my business to break even at the 4th month mark.    

I signed up with the most recent round of coaching, and had my final session last week.

I signed up for the free session and I got a very good first impression of how this works.  Later I picked days/times that worked for me and I just hopped onto Zoom every week at my designated time.

While I feel like I’ve made good progress with Cristina, we’re not blasting through my traumas (if there are any?).  I’ve found it to be very helpful and help me organize my life better and find what will make me happy (still a work in progress though). Cristina helped me work through barriers on a more macro level to eventually get into the nitty gritty.

I think it was worth the money. I originally signed up with the idea of this being my step towards therapy. So far I feel I gained something from talking to another unbiased human for an hour for 8 weeks. 

I worked with Cristina for 5 months. Made very good progress, I can highly recommend her! For the first 3 months she was my “emotional support human” and “traveling cheerleader”.  Absolutely brutal realizations during my journaling assignment, and cool with rescheduling the weekly coaching calls. All in all, she has been a massive positive force on my mental health and therefore daily life. Programming, insight, communication, everything has been top notch.

My coaching program with Cristina lasted for 3 months. I had such a good experience because I had a very specific problem I was trying to solve: progress in my career. The more specific you are, the better someone can help guide you (especially someone who is basically a stranger). So Cristina asked me to do some pre-work and think through what my goals are for each coaching session rather than walking into it as a free-form discussion. I experienced Cristina as a neutral, guiding force. Her value is that she was not up in my mess. She helped me connect dots, see the big picture clearly, bring in new and fresh ideas, and challenge various limiting beliefs about what is possible.

I reached out to Cristina after a workshop she did at my previous company and it was during the time when I was applying and interviewing to leave. It was great to be able to talk through that with her since I couldn’t talk to anyone at work about it. I got a lot out of that coaching experience. Right person at the right time.

I used to really struggle with loneliness and I would read all the different websites and books about how not to be so lonely. Receiving coaching from Cristina has been profoundly rewarding. She shares her extensive knowledge with clarity and infectious enthusiasm. Her motivating energy has already translated into significant improvements in my functioning abilities, career opportunities, and overall quality of life.

Working with Cristina has been an inspiring and rewarding experience. Her deep insights and clear communication style make this journey enjoyable. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and I’ve already noticed improvements in my leadership abilities and overall quality of life.

Christina was a game changer in my personal growth. Her strategy for stress reduction and emotional intelligence have completely changed my outlook. I’m more aware emotional intelligence,  how best to manage people and I’ve seen my productivity increase. Thank you!

Cristina helped me break through my creative blocks. Her personalized approach guided me in setting achievable goals and staying accountable. I’ve not only finished my book but also rediscovered my passion for writing!

Working one-on-one with Cristina has been very rewarding and inspiring. Cristina possesses great insight and knowledge, which she is able to convey clearly and with enthusiasm. Her energy is infectious, motivating and encouraging and I have already seen the benefits in my leadership skills, my promotion prospects and my quality of life.

I contacted Cristina to help increase my confidence and visibility. She helped me identify barriers that kept me in the background and we developed a plan to overcome them. I now speak up more at meetings, work on high profile projects and have a better communication with my peers. 

If you meet me you wouldn’t see it but I really  wasn’t comfortable in social situations (and I was in them frequently). I always worried about what I would say next and the need to be interesting and keep the conversation going. I knew it wasn’t right but I didn’t know how to change it. The guidance Cristina provided was incredible. Key observations made it crystal clear to me about how I was ‘stuck’ in this cycle. From our first meeting I was armed with information on how to change it and from that moment on my life changed. I still can’t quite believe, after a lifetime of suffering, that all that worry has melted away. I will be forever grateful

This is making so much more sense than anyone I’ve seen in the past to ‘help me with my difficulties’. I’ve tried to trace some of these causes myself, of course, but it makes all the difference someone else asking (just the right) questions. Thank you

I am just taking a moment to appreciate what a different space I am in compared to this time last year. The adjustments I have made have helped enormously, and I managed to completely avoid a potential blow out situation with my family. Deep gratitude

I would like to thank you so much for your help, for being so available at difficult moments and also being so caring and understanding. Thanks to you I now understand a lot more about my own behavior and how that impacts everyone around me. I am sure you will keep growing because you are an excellent professional. I will certainly recommend you to anyone that needs help with a partner or family member with anxiety. If we need you again we will certainly get in touch

Cristina is a very professional, empathic and capable coach. The coaching sessions were really useful and she accommodated my schedule preferences in a flexible and efficient way. Cristina’s suggestions have really helped me cope better and I started feeling the improvement after session 1. The different strategies for time management and the ideas to better deal with fidgeting and distractions have been particularly beneficial for me

Cristina has been able to provide me with a deeper understanding of how the cogs in my head turn and the way I can turn them into strengths over weaknesses. The sessions we had together have helped me understand myself so that I can go about working in ways that help me run as efficiently as possible. I have been able to form my own methods of coping with issues that used to be a roadblock to me achieving the things I have wanted to. Since my coaching with Cristina my family have commented on what a wonderful change in me that they have seen over the last few months. Thank you Cristina, the person I become from this point on and the things I go on to achieve that I wouldn’t have before. 

Powerful, respectful, attentive, involved and clearly getting to the heart of the matter. After completing my coaching process, it is nice to stay in touch and continue to reflect on both a professional and personal level.

Cristina is zeer betrokken en professioneel, altijd goed voorbereid en heldere communicatie. De coachgesprekken en opdrachten waren goed en effectief. Cristina heeft me beter inzicht gegeven in mijn persoonlijke en zakelijke situatie.Super, enthousiaste, straight to the point, vriendelijke coach!

Cristina challenged and supported me to uncover and address opportunities for my growth and development.  As a result I achieved my ambitions far more effectively than I would have been able to do without Cristina’s support.

2nd career move | I can absolutely recommend Cristina Popa! In fact, I’ve dropped her name several times with friends. Miss Popa knows what a young professional need. In a few conversations she puts your feet on the ground and asks stimulating questions.  She says what she observes from her expertise and experience. All this in a friendly but direct way. In my view, the ideal career coach. She responds quickly to her email and genuinely wants the best for you. If I get stuck again in the future, I will definitely go back to her. Thanks Cristina! I often think back to our conversations.

As a coach, Cristina responded to the themes that I brought up. That immediately made it recognizable and she made me think further. Her broad background appealed to me, she gives you options to think about and explore. Very concrete.

For me, Cristina was the right the choice. I was looking for a professional coach and not an expert by experience. In Cristina I have found an experienced partner to spar with, she has a keen eye for what is going on. Investing in being coached by Cristina has proven to be very valuable. I learned a lot about myself and I achieved the results  wanted and more. 

Ik heb bij C Project een kort traject doorlopen waar ik enorm veel aan heb gehad.  Cristina luistert echt naar je vragen en verhaal. Ze geeft adviezen waar je meteen dezelfde dag nog mee aan de slag kunt. Lekker praktisch! Ze is van alle markten thuis dus kan met heel veel dingen meedenken. Top! Aanrader hoor!

De sessies hebben me een zeer grote stap vooruit geholpen mbt tot het “ervaren” van mijn persoonlijkheid. Het geeft me de rust en afstand om veel aspecten van mijn zakelijk leven beter te plaatsen….

Through 3 coaching conversations, it became clear to me where my passion, qualities and drive lie through an extremely clear, concrete approach and in an insightful, pleasant, open and expert manner from Christina. And where I wish to be further developed and feel the energy to get started with this again.

Het coachingstraject is tailormade waardoor je geholpen wordt de juiste denkstappen te maken. Je krijgt duidelijke feedback op je eigen handelen zodat je goed aanpassingen kunt maken.
