Business Coach & Mentor
Sonnya Kourteva has been my group's incredible executive coach and mentor over several months. Her sharp listening skills, deep corporate expertise, and people-first approach have helped us gain clarity, build confidence, and take ownership of personal growth. She couples the principles of positive psychology, creative thought, and innovative ideas with practical strategies that drive real results. We have scheduled bi-annual 'check ups' with Sonnya to review action plans, positive growth metrics, and achievements in leadership. I highly recommend Sonnya Kourteva and Emplified Solutions to any business, nonprofit organization, or individuals looking to elevate their leadership and create meaningful, sustainable success!

Sonnya Brought out the Best in Me
I serendipitously met Sonnya during a career transition. She met me at my lowest point after a layoff and guided me to confidence and excitement about my next chapter. She took time to truly see me as a fellow human by asking curious questions about my passions, hobbies, fears, and aspirations. She helped me re-see my strengths that were covered by grief and doubt. A few things I love about Sonnya's coaching style: 1) She radiates high energy that uplifts others. This is in part thanks to her natural personality and in part to her training in Applied Positive Psychology. 2) She speaks assertively yet still in a warm, friendly manner. She gave me some direct feedback about my behavior in a past work situation. Though it stung at first, I needed to hear it. 3) She gives homework assignments and follow-ups with you on them. This may look like reading chapters from a book such as the "Four Agreements" or "Start with Why."I look forward to continuing to work with Sonnya. If you want a coach who can bring out the best in you, choose Sonnya.

The Gift of Clarity, Confidence & Potential with Emplified Solutions
Going through a career transition can be overwhelming, especially when you’re searching for clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. During one of the most uncertain times in my professional journey I had the privilege of working with Sonnya. And what an impact she made!From the very first conversation, Sonnya didn’t just listen, she truly heard me. She put herself in my shoes, asked the right questions, and made sure she understood not just my career situation, but the emotions and challenges that came with it. She has this remarkable ability to amplify your strengths, helping you see what’s already within you but might have been overshadowed by doubt or uncertainty.Her guidance wasn’t just theoretical, but she provided real, tangible, and actionable steps that I could take immediately. With her support, I didn’t just gain clarity, I gained momentum. I walked away from our session not only knowing what I needed to do next but feeling capable and empowered to make those moves.What truly sets Sonnya apart is her willingness to go the extra mile, the mile that even your closest friends or family might not be able to walk with you because they may not fully understand what you're going through. Sometimes, when you’re in a low period, you need an expert, a mentor, a coach who sees you, believes in you, and pushes you forward with both wisdom and kindness. Sonnya was that person for me.If you are feeling stuck, uncertain, or just need a professional who will help you refocus, regain confidence, and step into your full potential, I can’t recommend Sonnya enough. She is more than a career coach...she’s a champion for your success, a guide through uncertainty, and someone who will amplify your best self when you need it most.Thank you, Emplified Solutions and Sonnya for reminding me that my next chapter is mine to shape!
