Adéla Barešová

Adéla Barešová

Psycholog, Mentor, Couch

Other

Adela has dedicated over 10 years to the application of psychology in the business world. She’s trained, coached, and consulted in companies across a wide range of industries and sectors. Over the years, she noticed a sort of glass ceiling, “an infinite loop”, which often blocks the road to better performance and satisfaction. This barrier causes a disconnection and a failure to tap into the potential, which lies in the conscious connection of our minds, bodies, and emotions. As a result she became involved in the development of the somatic coaching methods, which she now uses in her training sessions. linkedin
