The Phoenix Leap 1:1 Coaching Intensive


You've built a career. You've shown up. You've delivered. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering if this is really it. 
Not because you failed but because you've outgrown the version of yourself that built this life.

The role, the title, the path that once made sense - it fits like a coat from ten years ago.
Technically still a coat. Completely wrong for who you are now.

And it's not just the role that feels wrong. You feel wrong. Or more precisely - unfamiliar.
Like the version of you that built this career has quietly left the building, and whoever is coming next hasn't arrived yet.

That gap - between who you were and who you're becoming - is the most disorienting place a woman can stand.
Not because something is broken. Because something is ending, and nothing new has shown its face yet.

That's not a crisis. That's a threshold. 
You don't need someone to tell you it's okay to feel this way. You need someone to help you figure out what to do about it.

That's what this program is. 

Who It’s For

A woman who:

Feels stuck or uninspired in a role/career that no longer fits - even though, on paper, it looks like success.

Recovers from burnout or career fatigue or a major life crossroads.

Is returning to work after a pause and refuses to simply pick up where she left off.

Is ready to pivot - a new role, a new path, possibly her own business.

Wants her new chapter to be her best one and knows she can't think her way there alone.

The Transformation

By the end of this program, you will have:

Resolves problems of being stuck and help you gain clarity on your career direction.

Resolves problems of being stuck and help you gain clarity on your career direction.

A transformation where YOU, as a powerful woman, will be held accountable for.

A transformation where YOU, as a powerful woman, will be held accountable for.

Clarity on your direction - no more circling the same questions at 3am.

A reconnection to your own values and strenghts, not the résumé version of you.

A concrete, step-by-step plan for your next chapter - not vague inspiration.

The confidence to act on it. Not someday. NOW.

How It Works

Six 1:1 sessions. Three months. A structured, deeply personal process. Not therapy, not generic career advice.
Delivered with energy and relentless optimism that will pull you forward even on the days you don’t believe in yourself yet.

Includes tailored exercises, optional email support between sessions and curated resources along the way.

  • Session 1 – Pause & Take Stock: Reflect on your current reality and energy levels; identify what's working, what's draining you, and set intentions.
  • Session 2 – Rediscover Your Core Self: Uncover values, strengths, and forgotten passions; connect with pivotal life experiences that shape your next steps.
  • Session 3 – Release & Reframe: Spot limiting beliefs and inner blocks; shift mindset from "stuck" to "possibility and momentum".
  • Session 4 – Envision the Next Chapter: Paint a vivid picture of your ideal work and life; explore multiple pathways aligned with your values, strengths, and who you've become.
  • Session 5 – Design Your Reinvention Plan: Build a practical, step-by-step action plan; identify obstacles and strategies to navigate them; pinpoint resources, networks, and accountability supports.
  • Session 6 – Step Into Your Future: Celebrate breakthroughs and insights; consolidate habits, rituals, and strategies to sustain momentum; leave with clarity, energy, and direction for your next professional encounter.
  • Pause & Take Stock - Where are you really, and what's draining you.
  • Rediscover Your Core Self - Your values, strengths, and the passions you buried.
  • Release & Reframe - The limiting beliefs that have quietly run the show.
  • Envision the Next Chapter - What your ideal next role or path actually looks like.
  • Design Your Reinvention Plan - A real plan. Real obstacles. Real strategy.
  • Step Into Your Future - Momentum, clarity, and the tools to keep going without me.
"Alena inspires by example. It still resonates in my ears: “Zdenka, give yourself permission and practice self-actualization,” she emphasized a few times. I chose Alena as my coach after seeing her performing at different venues. She has not only the professional knowledge on how to help to redefine and find your purpose again but also her personal experience made our coaching sessions lively and valuable. Because Alena knows and feels well what her clients go through. Alena’s emotional intelligence is powerful; however, she will also put you “in front of the mirror” to make you realize your strengths and area of improvements. I would recommend her as a leadership mentor and (change) career path coach"

Why Work With Me

I'm not coaching you from a textbook.

I rebuilt my career from scratch — in a country and a language that weren't my own. I've spent eight years guiding women through exactly this threshold, but I understood it long before that, from the inside, at the worst and most uncertain stage of my own career.

Think of me as your co-pilot for reinvention. Not a cheerleader. A partner who tells you the truth!

"Alena quickly identified central issues in the multilayered coaching process, supported me to get unstuck and create new ideas to take forward. With passion, ease and flair, she helped me clarify my professional future direction, which is priceless. Together we drew an action plan to make things happen. I am of all times happy and have a sense of fulfilment. Alena is an outstanding communicator and results-driven professional who executes very well all the challenges. She is naturally interested in people, extremely good at listening and getting a commitment from others. Besides her professional skills, I admire her personal qualities of being open-minded, fair, funny and considerate. I recommend Alena to all professionals who want to connect with their TRUE SELF and take the next step in their career"
