Daniela Mihaleva's journey with
Mentoring
Having held leadership roles at Hewlett Packard( Q)/ Hewlett Packard Enterprise for 15 years, overseeing the constant transformation of organizations, I’ve had the privilege of growing through mentorship with 15 C-suite executives. These invaluable relationships began formally, as these professionals fostered a safe environment where I could leverage their best practices, lessons learned, and cross-organizational expertise. Over time, these connections evolved into informal ones, guided by mutual respect and shared insights.
During my corporate career, these exceptional mentors inspired me to pay it forward, empowering 90 mentees to develop into NextGen Leaders.
As I pass on knowledge and perspectives gained from my mentors, I continue to witness the transformative impact of mentorship on individual growth and organizational success.

Driving Business Forward Together
“My mentoring experience with Daniela turned out to be a real eye opener! I could literally feel how my enthusiasm grew while she helped me to uncover my main drivers and values with her incomparable talent to listen, her vast mentoring experience and finally her invaluable skills to focus on what is most important. Throughout the process I was introduced to tools and methods guiding me to review my priorities and some impacting personal decision making aspects, which I catch myself applying regularly in everyday life situations. Last but not least, through this mentoring relationship I finally took time to reflect on myself and my own interests, outside of all of the things I am accountable for in life, and that are sometimes hindering me to stay balanced. This “new self-awareness” allows me to make deliberate selections to change how I invest my energy, which has made a big difference in the end, encouraging me to follow my dream and to build on my strengths to get there. Having had the opportunity to benefit from Daniela’s mentoring influences my way of thinking and acting and actually meanwhile has entirely changed my life!”

I have learned so much form her leadership style and can definitely recommend her as a great coach and mentor. In addition, I would like to focus your attention to the fact that Daniela’ is a great public speaker. She delivered a fantastic speech at the International Women Day Celebration event last year and I am sure you will be very happy to have her as a speaker at your own events.”
Aneliya Mihalkova
Data Analyst at HP Inc.“ I remember the first day I joined the HP team in Sofia, with emotions and a bit of fear I stepped into a new team, new country and new opportunities… I realized later on that being successful in what I do means having courage and overcoming the initial fears to thrive for success. In all this 8y+ journey I was guided and encouraged by an amazing person who seemed tough in the beginning but very enthusiastic for innovation, grounded and ready for success! It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship that just got better and better in time… I’ve worked with Daniela first as a mentor and then as a coach, sometimes mixing all the best outcomes that coaching, mentoring, friendship can bring! I find our sessions really empowering, with positive attitude that boosts me to go beyond my comfort zone to drive my career plan. We’re striving for excellence, which I love, maximizing every meaningful opportunity and building trust and strong relationship in the same time. It’s been an amazing and magical experience so far.”
Oana Canureci
Global Program Manager at HP Inc.“ I was completely lost and demotivated to perform in my professional life at the moment when i met Daniela. My inner frustrations were visible both at work and at home, affecting the personal life sanity. I wasn’t sure how I can benefit of the coaching and mentoring sessions, but now, when looking back, i am sure that getting in touch with Daniela and following up on our sessions was the best decision I could ever take. Her skills, her extensive and comprehensive knowledge, her background and her experience were the key elements that guided me through these sessions so that not only I could be aware of the situation I am in, but also find out the right path so I can reach out to the work life balance I was searching for. It feels good to find solutions to your own challenges which seemed to be unbearable; it is a personal victory to take proper decisions and to free yourself from the doubt and the frustrations you had some time ago. Not only my professional life got better until being fully stable and myself being fully motivated, but also my personal life was more balanced and calmer. Daniela is a life changer, a professional coach, an extraordinary mentor which i fully recommend from the bottom of my heart.”
