Raluca Izsak (Nicodin)

A full life — and still searching.

I'm Raluca — a coach, a corporate professional, a parent, and myself a client of both therapy and coaching. I coach people daring to question themselves — no sugar-coating. I work with neurodivergent people and their families, applying ORSC, Co-Active and ADHD-specific coaching approaches.

I get energy from working with people. The aha look on my clients' faces during sessions makes me feel that I am doing something good.

It started six years ago.
The timing wasn't right. Then it was.

My path into coaching began over six years ago, while attending Co-Active Fundamentals coaching training. I immediately resonated with the approach, but it was not yet the right time for me to integrate the principles fully.

In 2022, that time came. I completed my training in systems coaching (ORSC™), an experience that deepened my interest in relational dynamics and systemic perspectives in coaching.

Fast-forward to a couple of years later — a part of my family was diagnosed with ADHD. My own ADHD diagnosis followed shortly after. This experience led me to pursue formal ADHD coach training, initially to better support my family and understand how ADHD shapes their — and my own — behavior, decision-making, and relationships.

While you should indeed not coach family members, you can still support them by sharing science-backed tools that make a difference, and living out their positive effects yourself.

Vulnerable and strong.
Both at the same time.

Coaching showed me you can be vulnerable and you can be strong. Many times life will not lay a red carpet in front of us. I find it normal to feel sad and disappointed about that, even to envy others for their luck in life. For a while.

It is a sign of strength to ask for help and we deserve to receive help in difficult times. It is not by far easy to do that. I received support when I needed it — and I want to give back.

A whole human being.
Not a problem to solve.

The same principles I apply for persons and for systems: teams, families, project groups. Everyone of us is a system of various roles we hold in our life and we are at the same time parts of different social and work systems.

You decide on the rhythm of the journey and how a good outcome looks to you.

How I was trained.

I apply ORSC and Co-Active coaching principles and ADHD-specific coaching tools. Here is the formal side of my training.
