I had just a few sessions with Mzia but found them transformational. I have a hectic life, and Mzia helped me consider what some of my key values and character strengths are. I have been employing these to better prioritize my tasks, which not only makes me more efficient, but has made me feel more satisfied with what I am accomplishing. I get more pleasure out of what I am doing and feel less driven by my tasks. Also, in considering my values, I began to better understand some of the tensions I feel in situations of conflict. I gained insights on how to be true to my values.

She also helped me work through some organizational challenges I faced in the last few months, as I took up a totally new manager position leading a newly formed team in a region of the world that was new to me. She coached me through some of the complexities around setting up the new team. The fact that she herself has years of experience in an international organization equipped her particularly well to help me think through this.
