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.
