She helps clients define their personal story and create impactful CVs, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles. Using the Personal Agility System (PAS), she empowers professionals to align their careers with what truly matters.

Adelina also works with organizations to support expats and senior-level executives in high-pressure environments, helping them enhance performance, well-being, and engagement through a strong coaching culture.

The Professional Power Success Cards turn your self-coaching practice into a focused, inspiring, and results-driven experience.

Each card acts like a mini coaching session—combining a powerful quote, a deep reflective question, a practical action step, and two book recommendations to guide your personal and professional growth.

Instead of getting stuck in vague journaling or scattered thinking, these cards give your reflection structure and momentum. Whether you’re seeking clarity on your goals, working through a confidence block, or wanting to align more with your values, you’ll always have a starting point and a next step.

With 6 categories—from Self-Confidence and Purpose to Communication and Improvement—you can choose what to focus on depending on where you are in your journey.

In short: These Power Cards help you coach yourself with more consistency, depth, and direction—while keeping it fun and flexible.

Adelina’s career coaching is ideal for expats living in (or planning to move) to Switzerland who want to navigate the local job market with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re:

•  Struggling to land interviews despite your qualifications
•  Feeling stuck in your career and unsure how to move forward
•  Overwhelmed by the cultural or language barriers
•  Looking to tailor your CV and job applications to Swiss standards
•  …

Adelina provides the tools, strategies, and support to help you stand out and succeed.

Her coaching is also valuable for professionals and coaches seeking to build a fulfilling career while maintaining work-life harmony.

With her deep understanding of Swiss HR practices, intercultural challenges, and personal expat experience, Adelina empowers clients to transform obstacles into opportunities—and land roles that truly align with their strengths and goals.

Adelina’s coaching philosophy is rooted in authenticity, intentionality, and professional integrity.

She believes that true career fulfillment comes from aligning your work with your values, strengths, and life priorities—not from applying to every job out of fear or urgency. While taking the first offer might feel like progress, it often leads to disappointment, burnout, and the need to start over. Instead, Adelina encourages a quality-over-quantity approach: work with a coach or mentor to clarify what matters most, build a strategy aligned with both your goals and the job market, and take purposeful action.

As a PCC-credentialed coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Adelina is committed to the ethics and standards of real coaching—not advice-giving disguised as coaching. She knows that many professionals misuse the term, which is why she’s passionate about educating others on what coaching truly is: “a thought-provoking and creative partnership that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Adelina also believes in asking for help when needed—a value she models by working with experts herself so she can keep growing, better serve her clients, and create space for what matters most: her family and her purpose.

In every session, she aims to empower clients to live and work by design, not by default.

You can always try Professional Success Power Cards and depending on the topic of the coaching sessions, Adelina will surely share additional resources, tools or relevant materials to support their development.

The price of career coaching can vary depending on the coach’s experience, training, and the type of support you’re looking for.

If you choose to work with a professionally certified coach — especially someone accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which is the gold standard for coaching worldwide — you’re investing in both quality and ethical practice.

ICF coaches are ranked by their level of training and experience:

•  ACC (Associate Certified Coach) – entry-level ICF credentialed coach
•  PCC (Professional Certified Coach) – experienced, well-trained coach
•  MCC (Master Certified Coach) – highly advanced and seasoned coach

Rates often start around CHF 150 per session for a newer certified coach, and can go up to CHF 500 or more for a Master Certified Coach (MCC).

Also, coaching isn’t typically charged per hour like other services. Most coaches offer packages — carefully designed programs tailored to your goals, whether you’re an individual looking to build your career or a company supporting employees through professional growth.

Definitely! A career coach provides the clarity, strategy, and support needed to move forward with confidence and purpose. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, aiming for a promotion, or feeling stuck, coaching helps you gain perspective, uncover your strengths, and take focused action. It’s an investment in your professional growth, personal development, and long-term success.

The rhythm of your coaching sessions really depends on your goals, your availability, and how much space you want between sessions for reflection and action.

For most clients, especially when working toward career transitions, interview preparation, or personal growth, it is recommended to meet once a week or every 10 days for a determined time. This frequency creates a steady pace that allows enough time to implement new strategies, while keeping up momentum and ensuring you feel fully supported.

That said, coaching is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Some clients prefer bi-weekly sessions once they reach a certain point, while others benefit from more frequent check-ins during busy or challenging phases (for example, right before interviews or negotiations).

During your first conversation with Adelina, you’ll define a schedule that feels both realistic and effective for you.

Choosing the right career coach is an important step — after all, this is someone you’ll trust to guide and challenge you through some of your biggest professional decisions.

In Switzerland, many people find a coach through personal recommendations, word of mouth, or professional platforms like LinkedIn. A trusted referral is often the best place to start, as it speaks to both the coach’s reputation and real client results.

Beyond that, look for a coach who:
✔️ Holds recognized certifications (for example, from the International Coaching Federation — ICF)
✔️ Has experience with your particular situation – whether it’s navigating the Swiss job market, expat transitions, leadership development, or career change.
✔️ Offers a coaching style and personality that feel like a good fit for you — coaching is deeply personal, so the relationship matters.

At the end of the day, the right coach will not only have the qualifications and expertise, but also make you feel heard, supported, and positively challenged.
