About Teodora Takacs
Hi, I’m Teo...
...and the only constant in my life is change and learning. I was never talented at something, but I stayed open to experiences and opportunities that showed up and said yes to everything that moved me one step further.
​
I am Romanian, living in Belgium. As a marketing and communications leader in an international organization, I spent the last decade observing how people interact, respond and develop themselves in work and life environments. What motivates me is to create a positive and open team environment, help people develop and grow and move projects forward for the greater good. I believe that if we seek change around us, we need to start with ourselves.
Throughout my life and career, I accumulated experiences from very different areas:
​
-
I've been working as a marketing manager for the last decade and I continuously developed my leadership and coaching skills in a challenging international environment. Last year, I decided to make a horizontal move from business marketing to human resources, so I can be closer to people development and organizational culture. If you want a snapshot of what I do, watch this short interview or connect with me on LinkedIn.
​
-
I lead initiatives that empower women to grow and develop better leadership skills.
​
-
I am a certified Change Strategist from Whisper Center for Strategic Change. You can read more about the Change Strategy Method here. I practice Change Strategy coaching with private clients as well as in my main job as manager and mentor.
​
-
I am a certified trainer and workshop facilitator. I completed the Workshopper Master certification with AJ&Smart and the Lego Serious Play certification with Michael Fearne.
​
-
I cook, write and do food photography in my free time.
​
-
I lived in four different countries and speak fluently Romanian, English, French and Dutch. I am currently learning German and I hope to be able to add it on the above list of languages I speak fluently in about 2-3 years. ​​​
​
-
I have a Master of Arts in Gender Studies from the Central European University, Budapest, Hungary.
​
-
And the most inspiring experience of all is to be the mother of an amazing boy who fills my days with joy and laughter.
​
If you are going through changes, you feel stuck or you just need more clarity in your life, maybe a Change Strategy session could help you. If you don't know where to start, a free Discovery session could always help.
