Romanian Business Networking Society (RBNS)
Echos of Gabriela’s presidency of Romanian Business Networking Society (based on System Coaching concepts and techniques)
| “I was introduced to Gabriela, when I joined RBNS where she was president and I became a part of her team. Gabriela is one of the most disciplined and punctual people I’ve ever known. Her ability to work efficiently and her counselling skills speak volumes about her hard work, determination and her composed demeanour. She succeeded in engaging the enthusiasm of all of us who worked alongside her. She has single-handedly kept our organization alive through a series of well-planned programs. Thanks to her efforts, RBNS is now a strong organization built on a solid foundation and a well-known name. Gabriela demonstrated that she is a compassionate and hardworking individual and an extremely capable professional who is ready to assume managerial and supervisory responsibilities.” Margareta Hileaga, Mortgage Broker, Mortgage Intelligence “Gabriela’s work as the 2010 RBNS President has been instrumental on bringing the group to a new level of interaction – networking and knowledge exchange. Her meticulous and focused attitude translated in membership expansion, as well as increased group impact in other networks. Gabriela used her referrals to linking people and letting everyone feel best represented in the community. A job well done!” |
After one year of working closely with Gabriela as RBNS colleagues, I can add that Gabriela is one of the best group leaders I met in my career. She was able to listen to everybody’s ideas, summarizing and then taking the right decision to the benefit of entire organization. Her enthusiasm brought in her attitude and her speeches together with her efforts gave to the entire organization a push ahead to a solid foundation. In one year the total number of RBNS members were being doubled and the name of our organization is well known now. I have worked with Gabriela on many occasions and have been very impressed with her highly energetic and positive attitude as well as her dedication to get the job done. Gabriela was able to manage difficult situations with easy providing always the right solution. Gabriela have used her counselling skills in managing these situations, she had questions, suggestions and plans for us to grow as organization like nobody else. Thank you, Gabriela.” Viorel Rusu, Real Estate Representative, Royal Lepage Signature Realty “I joined RBNS during Gabriela’s presidency in 2010 and remained in contact since. I can recommend Gabriela as a great coach for Small Business owners and other people alike. Her credentials and life experience help Gabriela deliver successful and effective lessons and strategies.” |
