"We worked with Alina from Merge Coaching and Consulting for a team development event, and the experience was extremely valuable. She began by conducting individual Birkman assessments with each team member and then skillfully used those results during our group session to highlight how each of us thinks, communicates, and shows up at work.
Alina created a thoughtful and engaging environment in which everyone gained meaningful insight into their own behaviors and characteristics, as well as a deeper understanding of their colleagues. The session helped us appreciate our similarities & differences, strengthen our connections, and improve how we communicate and work together as a team.
Alina did an excellent job translating the assessment data into practical, relatable insights, making the experience both informative and impactful. And more than that, she was open, friendly, and created a space that welcomed vulnerability and allowed for feedback. We walked away with a shared language, greater empathy for one another, and tools we can continue to use to be a more effective team. I would highly recommend Alina and Merge Coaching to any team looking to strengthen collaboration and communication. " M. Bradley - Sr Operations Manager - ESTEVE Pharmaceuticals
"Alina is a gifted and confident coach. She gives the 'right' kind of perspective that is tailored for that person – it is as if she can see into a person and know them intimately and know exactly what would help them most in understanding their path. Alina’s skill when paired up with the Birkman is amazing. The test provides a crystallized explanation of our most intimate needs and explains how we appear to the outer world and Alina's ability to explain what exactly that means was helpful. The test gives other perspectives too: perspective on relationships, happiness, self needs, and interactions with others. I felt that the level of feedback that the Birkman offered paired with the clarity of explanation that Alina gave is absolutely worth it. You will never regret learning more about yourself." – H. Pierce, J.D.
"Alina is amazing and inspirational. With her one-on-one sessions, I was able to find purpose and direction toward meaningful goals in my personal and professional career. I think my most important takeaway from my sessions is the confidence in myself to step out of my comfort zone to try something new no matter the results." – A. González - Finance Manager
