ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Oana

I work with people who have big ambitions and want a life that matters as much as their career.I’m a mother, a senior HR partner, a sports enthusiast and an advocate for an active lifestyle. I know how fragile the balance between them is.You don’t need someone to tell you what to do. You need space to think, to question, and to reconnect with what matters to you.I work with people who care about their own growth, who are open to looking inward and willing to challenge the beliefs they’ve been carrying, including the ones that got them this far. You’re the expert in your own story; sometimes a different question is all it takes to see what you couldn’t see before.I help you find clarity, recognize your potential and turn insight into the next step. Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Where the name comes from

My maiden name was Vrabie, the Romanian word for sparrow. My married name is Cotofan, the magpie. The sparrow is small and modest, and survives every season. The magpie is bold, vocal, and takes up space without apologising. I did not plan that symbolism, but it became the name of my coaching programme for women: From Sparrow to Magpie.

WORK WITH ME

Four ways in. Start where you are.

Online sessions, in English or Romanian, scheduled around a real working week. Every programme starts with a free 30 minute discovery call, with no obligation.

Most chosen

Career

A promotion you want and cannot name out loud. A role that no longer fits. A reputation that does not match the work.

You are the expert of your own career. I help you read it clearly, and get ready for the rooms where it is decided.

We work on:

  • what makes you tick, and what you actually want next
  • the scope you have already outgrown, and the proof of it
  • the conversations that matter, prepared before you walk in

6 sessions, every two weeks. Support between sessions.

Enquire

Leadership

Lead with clarity, confidence and impact.

More than a decade alongside leaders at every level, from first-time managers to executives. The ones people trusted and followed were not the most polished. They were the ones who led as themselves, instead of borrowing someone else's version of authority.

We work on:

  • self-leadership first: mindset, boundaries, and how you speak to yourself under pressure
  • how you lead others: clarity, decisions, the conversations most people avoid
  • positioning and visibility, so the work is seen by the people who decide

6 sessions, every two weeks. Support between sessions.

Signature programme

From Sparrow To Magpie

Create a version of success that makes room for all of you.

For women who are already carrying a great deal and still ask themselves whether it is enough.

We work on:

  • seeing the full weight of what you already do, most women count half of it
  • taking up space on purpose: speaking first, asking, being visible
  • putting yourself on your own list, and not at the bottom of it
  • your own definition of balance, because the right one is never a recipe handed to you from outside. It is written from the inside, and it changes with the season you are in

6 sessions, every two weeks. Support between sessions.

Enquire

Clarity Session

One decision, one conversation.

For when you want to feel what coaching is actually like, or you have one thing in front of you and need to think it through with someone prepared to partner with you and hold the space for important insights.

One session, 75 minutes.
