Get to know Irina Ulanova
What are you most proud of from the past 20 years?
I experience vitality and joy in my body, along with a sense of serenity in my mind. I take pride in the person I am today and in witnessing the extent of my personal growth. I've consistently embraced my true self and followed my path, even when it meant swimming against the currents of societal norms. Now, I'm engaged in doing what I truly love.
I hold deep appreciation and affection for my friends and family. I'm proud of our collective journey towards growth and the way we continuously increase our ability to love and live with dignity.
What does transformation mean to you and what role do you feel coaching plays in the transformation of society?
To me, transformation involves the gradual shedding of layers of thoughts, beliefs, and unproductive standards, revealing the core truth and pure love within. It's about forging a deeper connection with one's higher self. This connection enables us to navigate life's currents, tap into our resourcefulness, and make choices that were previously concealed by blind spots. It empowers us to embrace people as they are, to understand and accept our own authentic selves, and to deliberately create ample space for both self and others.
Coaching plays a crucial role in shifting how individuals perceive each other's value. It provides each person with the opportunity to cultivate a non-judgmental attitude paired with genuine interest. This occurs before any "standards" or unproductive beliefs can obstruct the capacity to truly hear and comprehend the intended message.
What role has Erickson played in your transformation in the past 20 years?
Erickson has opened numerous doors to different ways of thinking and fresh perspectives. It shattered the confines of my "I understand how the world works" mindset, opening my mind and heart to a much larger world. It has improved my relationship-building and communication skills, providing me with tools to master self-awareness and the art of transformation. During my global travels, I've connected with fellow Ericksonian coaches who resonate with my approach.
My trainers and mentors placed their faith in me during times of uncertainty, when I questioned my readiness and ability to embody my desired role. Now, I am consistently exploring a broader world, consciously making decisions, and fearlessly expanding the boundaries of the multidimensional life I dream of living.
