Hi! I’m Alena Wajs-Hielema

I’m glad you are here!

You didn’t come this far to feel this lost.

I know that feeling. Not theoretically – personally.

I rebuilt my career from scratch in a country that wasn’t mine, in a language that wasn’t mine, starting from a position that was somewhere between invisible and underestimated.
I left corporate. Built a business for seven years. It shut down. Burned out. Got back up.

Every single time – I chose to leap!

That lived experience, combined with 20+ years
in international business, leadership development,
and accredited coaching frameworks,
 is what I bring into every session.

I’m warm. I’m direct.
I will not let you hide behind your own excuses.

And the women I work with tell me I bring an energy
that actually makes them move!

 

What brought you here won’t bring you there.
Let’s find out what will!

"Alena is a well-seasoned, extremely knowledgeable professional in every aspect, very inspirational, supporting and intuitive. She helped me figure out who I am now and what I want out of my career and life. Together we identified the factors influencing my career development and assessed my interests, abilities, and values to make better decisions. I enjoyed every single conversation, even those difficult and challenging. The process was not only focused on tools for self-reflection and assessments but also on releasing limiting beliefs and building supportive habits to get me where I plan to be - a genuinely holistic approach. Alena always went the extra mile to support me where needed and was a source of laughter and never ending positive energy! I wholeheartedly recommend her to all professionals who, for whatever reason, are in career transition or planning to develop their careers differently, in alignment with their desires yet realistic"

Midlife is not an ending — it’s your springboard to a more purposeful career.
If you’re ready to align your work with who you are today, you’re in the right place.


If you’re ready to align your work with who you are today, you’re in the right place.

You have the title. The track record. The respect.

And something feels very wrong.
Not broken-wrong. Not crisis-wrong.
Something quieter and more unsettling than that.

The role that built you no longer fits. The room where your voice should dominate goes quiet when you speak.
You wake up at 3am not anxious about failure but haunted by the feeling that you are living someone else’s version of your life.

You don’t have a career problem. 
You have an identity that hasn’t caught up with who you’ve become.

That’s exactly who I work with.

"For quite some time I was looking for a coach who understands feminine challenges in a business environment. Already after a few minutes, I was astonished by Alena's profound knowledge of the subject. She quickly understood my challenges and immediately in the first session she was able to give me a set of a few valuable tips. Alena is not only an expert in this field, but she is also a very charismatic person full of positive energy. I definitely recommend her to each ambitious and intelligent woman who feels stuck in her career and would like to find a way to turn things around."
