Questions people ask

Who is Daniela Aneva?

Daniela Aneva is an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC), executive and team coach, coaching supervisor and organizational development consultant. She is the founder and CEO of MentorsPro, faculty and mentor coach at Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders, co-founder of EMCC USA, and the author of Schemas in Leadership and The Anatomy of Panic. She is based in Rutherford, New Jersey, and works with clients worldwide.

What is schema-based coaching?

Schemas are learned patterns that shape what a leader notices, fears and repeats, especially under pressure. Schema-based coaching helps people name those patterns and choose differently. It adapts ideas from schema therapy to leadership and professional development, and it is coaching, not therapy.

Which of Daniela Aneva’s programs are ICF-accredited?

The Mastery of Coaching is an ICF Level 2 accredited coach certification. Schemas in Team Coaching is an ICF-accredited advanced team coaching program, and Schemas in Coaching Supervision is ICF-accredited training for coaching supervisors.

Does Daniela Aneva coach online?

Yes. Coaching, supervision and training sessions run live on Zoom, so clients and program participants join from different countries and time zones.
