Andra Bianca Stoican
Healthy Lifestyle Coach & Personal Fitness Trainer
How would you present yourself, in a generous phrase (in pers. 3, including Name, Surname and position)?
My name is Andra Bianca Stoican and I am a Healthy Lifestyle Ambassador.
I like to live healthy in mind, body and soul. I like to travel, to learn, to experience new things, to develop myself continuously, to meet new people, to offer my knowledge to those around me and to learn in turn from everything that surrounds me.
I am a traveler through life, who likes to live beautifully and to teach others how to do it too.
Make a description or define your work.
I am a healthy lifestyle coach and a personal fitness trainer.
I am also a certified leadership coach of the Center for Executive Coaching School, a school accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I use certain coaching methods to help people achieve their goals when they are at an impasse, when they feel stuck and need someone from outside to reflect their behavior like a mirror, so that they can figure out for themselves where they are wrong and what needs to be done.
My passion for a healthy lifestyle led me to take the skills I learned in leadership coaching to the fitness area, obtaining my certification as a fitness instructor and personal trainer. Now, I combine the two fields: coaching and fitness and they go extremely well together because in setting concrete goals for short, medium and long terms we need to have a proper mindset. Basically, my coaching skills represent my asset on the fitness industry.
The work I do with my clients is aimed at improving their self-image, improving their physical condition, their physical appearance and their way of thinking about themselves.
In addition to a personalized exercise program and a food plan, I will create with my client a plan to achieve short, medium and long term goals.
And how we will do this? Through individual coaching sessions, which will help my client clearly define his/her final destination.
We all know that the mindset plays the most important role when it comes to achieve our goals, regardless of their nature, that is why it is very important to have a partner who help us in evaluating our evolution.
So, my work is to be the best partner for my client and help him/her to reach the best physical and mental condition so far, which will help him/her lead a fulfilled life.
What does the story of your career or business sound like?
I have always been passionate about beauty, healthy lifestyle and a balanced life.
After I finished the Finance and Banking Faculty and my Master in International Business Strategies, I entered the entrepreneurial world and I opened a franchise in the beauty area (facial rejuvenation and permanent hair removal treatments with IPL – intense pulsed light). It was my first experience as an entrepreneur. I have to admit that it was not an easy one, being very young (23 years old) and having not the necessary experience. But I learned a lot of things that were very useful for me after.
From my first experience as an entrepreneur until this moment, I have experienced various fields, but they all had a common factor: well-being and beauty. This is how, in my journey, I learned about fashion design, television, personal development, leadership coaching, yoga and fitness.
I started by emphasising the external beauty and how others perceive me and I reached the moment when I realised that the most important thing is how I perceive myself and how healthy my mindset and my body is.
What were your visions in childhood/adolescence and what are they now?
The vision I had in adolescence is much different from the one I have today. If in adolescence, I went towards fields of activity that would validate me through the opinion of others about me, today I work in a field where I validate myself, a field that would make me feel good in my skin, healthy both physically and psychologically.
Please tell us a positive and a negative story/ experience related to your activity.
I think any experience from our life is a good one so I cannot split them in positive and negative. All the experiences come in our life to make us to move forward. Even if at the beginning we look at a situation and we see it a bad one, in the end will be a good one because they teach us how to improve ourself, how to become better and how we should do things in a different way for the next time when we will face a similar situation.
What advice do you have for those who are just starting out or undecided?
The best advice for everyone who wants to start an entrepreneur career is to believe in their strength and uniqueness, to see themselves as a value and do not let the others opinion to make them quit. They will have a lot of difficult moments during this journey, but the results will be very fulfilling. So, trust the process and go ahead with confidence to your big dream!
Please provide your own definition for Romanian society, business and careers!
In my opinion, Romanians are very well prepared and over qualified to start a business in any field. It only takes a lot of confidence in their own strength and courage to come forward and show their mastery.
