Leadership Development

“The Management of Change training (attended Nov 2021) was incredibly useful as it gives you a practical tool to evaluate your own readiness for change and you get very useful advises on building your resilience! The training is useful for everybody as it provides a lot of valuable insights on your life and how you approach it! It gives you food for thought on your vision and mission in life, finding your purpose! At the same time the Group Coaching Session with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method was fun and gave opportunity for creativity while enjoying the learning! I enjoyed a lot the training Art and Science of the Successful career training (Dec 2021) as it gave me a lot of food for thought on the topic and bunch of useful and practical advises from Dani based on experience — I believe that I will often come back to the information of this training in the future! It inspired me to think about what is success for me and provoked me to manage my priorities and update my LinkedIn profile. I appreciate the practical advises how to approach my career development, how to manage my manager and the examples shared on interview preparation. The passion of Dani to support and help is admirable — you feel it in her talk and you start believing in yourself more! The highest value of the training is that it is based on experience and gives very practical direction. Thank you, Dani!”

“Daniela Mihaleva, the founder of Helical Dynamix, led SOITRON Bulgaria Leaders Development program. Being one of the participants in this program I was really pleased with the way she led us through essential critical success milestones to start working as a team, speaking on the same language, creating our mission, vision and strategy. In addition, the personal mentoring sessions I had with Daniela helped me building up the next level of leaders in our company. Despite the fact I have strong management experience for more than 8 years in another corporation and I’ve participated in numerous similar leadership development workshops and trainings, I was truly amazed of the new management techniques I’ve learned and the different point of view for those I already knew. One of the strongest topics were related to the different types and strategies for communication with different audiences and situations, which I’ve believed I had mastered. I was challenged to meet my own limitations and adopt new ways to use what I’ve already knew as good practices, enriching my own portfolio with the dynamical relations between different models and situations. The 1-1 mentoring sessions with Daniela were priceless for me. She is an amazing coach who was able to help me go through my personal resistances to the change I was experiencing as a newly hired manager in the company and to overcome the limitations to expand my potential. Thanks to her I was able to go through all stages of the grief curve very fast and accept the change on personal level. This helped me to feel myself on the new position, boosted my confidence and focused me on the truly important strategic topics instead of day to day operational problems. Because of all the work we’ve done together with Daniela, I have stabilized the next level of leadership in the team, the team atmosphere improved vigorously, and I am much more balanced in the decision I am taking as a manager.”

“The Academy for Successful Leaders was a new and awakening experience for me. Working with Daniela Mihaleva was truly transformative — she didn’t just give me knowledge, she changed the way I think and act, and showed me what it truly means to be a leader. The level of self-awareness I reached exceeded even my boldest expectations — and I’m someone with grand goals 😊. The journey of growth is long and full of challenges, but with the support, guidance, and tools I received, I know I’m on the right path and have everything I need to achieve my goals.”

“Mind changer = Gamechanger! This was one of the main goals I’ve set to myself since the moment I was introduced to Daniela Mihaleva and the WÜRTH Bulgaria’s Academy for successful leaders. I am truly amazed by the level of detailing in every subject. Having to combine challenges in both dynamic sales company day-to-day processes and personal growth and development, the format turns out very supportive and helpful for all the participants, as we were quite different and having completely corporate separate roles. The level of symbiosis with our company policies and procedures is outstanding! This tailor-made structure is so precise and goes so deep in the behavior of each individual, that it is actually ready to set new habits, habits that lead success. Having to open our eyes and minds to such important, yet easy to forget little things like what to put-in and what to isolate from your daily dictionary is what makes the Academy so powerful. All the tools revealed and the whole approach in overcoming the challenges coming upon us is something that will stay and add value to me as being a better version of myself. This is why I am so grateful to be part of this Academy. Who would know that by playing with LEGO®, you can cross boundaries set not by will, but by job routines. And since this game of life and business is infinite — this whole journey with Dani is indeed mind changing and yes, it is a Gamechanger for me!”

“For the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® training, first I was a bit suspicious, what is the relation between my career and the Lego? Then, I understood the value of the training despite doing it remotely. Then about the Art & Science of the successful career, Daniela was a great resource to help & identify the area where I can definitely improve (LinkedIn profile for me). I do recommend both trainings even of my preference would be the 2nd one – to build a successful career is definitely Art.”

“I’ve met and participated in a workshop led by Daniela as part of the WeLead program in Paysafe. We’ve spent two days with her and other leaders talking about leadership. It was a great learning experience, as she shared real business life experience on the discussed topics. I’ve enjoyed a lot the structure, as it was designed to challenge us to reflect and think about our next steps. All of this combined with the energy she brings to the room was a moment to remember. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® was one of the tools used in the workshop. It’s a way to creatively think about my career while having fun. It was an eye opener for me on alternatives and possibilities I have and I haven’t realized before. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is – be creative, learn and have fun.”

“Stepping Up My Leadership Game: A Grateful Testimonial Coming from an engineering background, leadership skills weren’t exactly part of my formal education. While I knew they were crucial, it wasn’t until I encountered Helical Dynamix’s (Daniela Mihaleva) coaching program that I truly understood their depth and impact. The 6-month journey, filled with engaging mentoring sessions, insightful homework, and valuable resources, was a game-changer. We delved into various facets of leadership – from navigating change and making well-informed decisions to harnessing emotional intelligence for effective communication. But what truly resonated was the emphasis on building genuine relationships with others. Dani and the numerous tools she teaches for application, opened my eyes to a whole new realm of leadership possibilities. One particular instance stands out – I was prematurely prepared for an upcoming leadership task. My employer readily acknowledged the positive impact of my improved leadership skills, highlighting the value of the coaching program. You don’t just get assigned to a leadership position and do it on the go – good leaders are prepared. Beyond the work setting, the program instilled in me invaluable knowledge and practices that transcend professional boundaries. Navigating challenging situations with newfound confidence, I actively participate in a mentorship program, and colleagues frequently seek my management advice. This shift wouldn’t have been possible without Helical’s guidance. The program went beyond mere skill development; it fostered personal growth. By reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses through tools like the Johari Window, I shed light on ingrained behaviors, both positive and negative. This self-awareness has been instrumental in shaping me into a more emotionally intelligent and well-rounded individual. In conclusion, this coaching experience didn’t just equip me with leadership tools; it ignited a passion for leadership and management science. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Daniela for her insightful guidance and support and for believing in my potential on our first meeting. The lessons learned will continue to shape my journey as I strive to become a more effective leader, colleague, and individual.”

“I went through a lot of business training with Daniela who has a great interest in developing people at all levels. Topics about exposure and how one can develop himself by communicating, think strategic, see ahead the business needs, anticipate, prioritize were just a few of the guidelines received from her which built people for the current and most likely, future roles. Her own experiences examples, linked to situations from our business, at that point, were useful because applying them pro-actively lead to outcomes we expected to deliver in a semester, however, we were able to deliver in a quarter. Driving teams was a favorite topic until the model used was not just a theoretical one but also a practical one, relating to difficult interactions, developing teams with all resources at hand and lead them to the new market needs. Client interaction was useful as it learnt positioning oneself in front of customers and situations created by either people or business. Cool experience overall since it’s coming from someone with a lot of experience in the business.”

“I am happy to be a part of the Remix Second Hand & Outlet Lead Academy where Daniela Mihaleva is a coach and mentor for us as an Exec Team. I joined the program in December 2022 and am about to finish my participation this June. Every group and individual meeting were a part of a very exciting adventure! Daniela’s methods and approach help every leader to find and develop their own leadership style, learn how to use their strong qualities in a smart way, but also be aware of the parts of us we can improve. The program is intense, diverse, challenging, inspirational and impactful. Thanks to Daniela’s unique approach I highly improved my self-awareness and learned how to apply smart and efficient leadership methods within the team that would lead us to success. I strongly recommend working with Daniela to everyone who takes leadership and personal growth seriously.”

“I met Dani Mihaleva as a trainer during the HP sponsored “Everyone as a Leader” program. Dani was our facilitator on the topic of “The Art and Science of The Successful Career”. She challenged the team on various professional development topics, providing insights from her personal diverse background, as well as professional frameworks. She successfully combined theory and practice, and included gamification in her teaching methods. Dani is a very skilled trainer, able to customize her approach and style according to the audience. She is super knowledgeable, creative and understanding. She managed to impress my colleagues and I inspiring us to take a different look on our ability to understand ourselves. Thanks to this training I feel more comfortable with the direction in which I am heading my professional development.”

“Dani Mihaleva facilitated full-day career workshop to a team of 20+ colleagues, each of whom represented a different department within the organisation. Dani is a captivating and inspirational speaker who can engage diverse audiences both through personal storytelling and relatable examples. Multiple practical exercises were well balanced with the introduction of insightful, thought-provoking frameworks that resulted in profound self-reflection and enhanced self-awareness. Thank you for a great workshop and the plenty of food for thought!”

“I had the incredible opportunity this past year to take part in Daniela’s Young Leaders Academy, which I can rightly call one of the most impressive moments of my professional journey.

Her practical hands-on coaching approach, combined with an incredible dose of professionalism, inspires a person to discover and develop their strengths, focusing on the enormous potential that everyone carries within themselves. Thanks to Daniela, I have adopted a sustainable growth-mindset in my day-to-day life, becoming a better leader and willing to help others along the way to develop their full potential. Definitely an amazing experience! “
