Cristina Muntean

Cristina has been my executive coach during one of the most pivotal periods of my career, particularly while navigating the complex challenges of my role as Managing Director at Deutsche Leasing. Her skills and expertise are absolutely indisputable. During moments of uncertainty, Cristina provided me with the space to process my thoughts and feelings, while also challenging me through insightful and reflective questions. This helped me to break free from long-established patterns of thinking.

I first connected with Cristina through her book, VY JAKO ZNACKA (You, the Brand) which explores personal branding in relation to career growth. Impressed by the insights in her book, I joined her Mentoring Services for Women Leaders: NEVER WALK ALONE program. Her coaching sessions within this program, combined with the knowledge from her book, have provided me with practical strategies and profound understanding to advance my professional journey.

What sets Cristina apart is her remarkable insights and extensive experience in coaching and working with CEOs. Often referred to as a “CEO Whisperer”, her understanding of the unique pressures and responsibilities faced by top executives is unparalleled. I am also part of her THE CEO Elevation Circle initiative which is “on a mission to triple the number of women CEOs in Europe by 2030”. In this group, we exchange ideas, discuss problems, and collaborate with other CEOs and C-suite executives. This platform has been invaluable in broadening my perspective and enhancing my leadership skills. The level of trust Cristina fostered during our sessions was instrumental in enabling me to achieve significant progress. Her empathetic yet challenging approach has been transformative, not only for my professional journey but also for my personal growth. I truly appreciate having had the opportunity to work with her.

For those seeking a seasoned, compassionate, empathetic, and highly skilled executive coach, Cristina is an outstanding choice. I fully endorse her as a transformative coach. Her proficiency has inspired me to become an agent of change in my own journey. And all this, with full enjoyment and loads of fun! 😊

Cristina has provided me with indispensable help and advice in preparing for high-profile public appearances, important stakeholder meetings, interviews, and panel sessions. Her training in storytelling has deeply impacted my style of delivery on the stage; she has helped me build rapport with various audiences. I have received practical insights on speech drafts, PowerPoint presentations, content and style, real-life dilemmas etc. When you work with Cristina you get full focus and utmost attention, impartial advice and objective feedback, inspiring stories and handy examples, all served with a very positive, energizing and charming vibe. All-in-all both a very invigorating and practically useful experience. Cristina is very emotionally intelligent and I try hard to keep up and to learn from her at the same time 🙂 If anything, I believe she could charge more, her services are totally worth it. Working with Cristina is a great experience, definitely time and money well spent.

Cristina has the talent to tune in to a specific group or individual and to design a program according to very specific needs. She creates relationships based on trust that are a good basis for the development of individuals or groups. Her language skills and multicultural experience are also an added value. Cooperation with Cristina is very rewarding and at the same time very pleasant. Cristina will not push anyone to achieve their goal; everyone must find the will to develop within themselves. Yet she will gently accompany and support you in this whole process.

During my time as CEO of Foxconn Global Services Division (FGSD) in the Czech Republic I became acquainted with Cristina when we both worked on a specific account development project. The cooperation worked so well that we asked Cristina to work more intensively for my organization in order to develop the Communications and Marketing strategy for FGSD. I must say that working with her changed not only my professional, but also my private life. It changed my view on things that one can observe daily in the media and it definitely added value to my business by leveraging the company resources in order to enable sustainability and growth. I am no longer working as CEO of Foxconn GSD, but I will certainly rely on Cristina again in the future to support me personally in all aspects of company communication, to train people in my organisation and to support with developing sales and HR team capabilities. As a modern CEO I recognize that communications and marketing require a professional approach. For that you must rely on real professionals. Professionals like Cristina. As a CEO I found it delightful to work with Cristina because you can rely on her with all aspects of your communications and marketing both for the company and for you as a leader.

If you are looking for a mentor/coach to guide you through the journey of finding your true vision and navigate smartly in this complex world, Cristina is definitely the right choice. Cristina is a natural coach and facilitator. She is patient, intuitive, and wise beyond her years. And she has a masterful knack for knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. I’m very grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period professionally throughout 2019 and the result is remarkable. Thank you Cristina for joining me into my “big leap”!

Cristina is the Swiss knife of personal and professional growth. I started a 1-1 coaching program with Cristina because I needed to take a step back and to understand how I can help my company grow without being systematically on the verge of a burnout. Previous years of introspection and previous coaches could not do what Cristina did in only a few sessions: she gave me X-ray vision for what’s really behind my successes and failures until now. I’ve gained an unprecedented understanding and awareness of my core beliefs, how they have shaped my actions throughout more than two decades of my life and why I keep pushing myself to exhaustion. This understanding is slowly and profoundly reshaping the way I work and the way I conceive my next decade in my life. If you’re considering Cristina for similar work, I can only recommend you do so.

It takes a rare gift, outstanding knowledge of the media world, and the skill of a coach to teach a person to craft a message both interesting to journalists and memorable to the reader. Cristina Muntean does an outstanding job of teaching you to be a media-savvy CEO while still being yourself.

Cristina is a professional business consultant who brings measurable results to our company growth. The relationship of our team with Cristina is more than just a supplier -> customer relationship, it’s about trust, support, empathy and more important, an incredible injection of a positive energy from Cristina to our leadership ambitions and at the same moment, it’s about very tough feedback to our macho ego. One can steal horses with Cristina!
