Client Case Study
From Hidden Insecurities to a Well-Defined Confidence and Success
How Individual Coaching has shifted Flavius’ personal and professional life from insecurity and anxiety to clarity and confidence to succeed
Flavius was my first long-term client when I started my business years ago and he has inspired me profoundly from the moment I met him as he asked for my 1-to-1 coaching services. He was so determined to find answers, make the needed changes in his personal life and business and transform his behavior, that I was simply amazed and inspired by his motivation and willingness to work on himself.
And he continued to inspire me throughout the years as he consistently shifted and improved his thinking and behavior which has powerfully impacted his business performance and family life.
When we started working together in individual coaching on a weekly basis, the challenges Flavius was facing all came to the surface one by one, session after session. And so we started working on him acknowledging those struggles and understanding their causes. As he became increasingly aware of the cause of his impulsiveness, anxiety, lack of decision-making and clear direction in business, he also managed to find solutions and open up new opportunities where he could thrive and make the needed changes and improvements. Something he wasn’t able to do on his own as he wasn’t aware of and couldn’t identify the real issues he was struggling with. He could only notice the negative effects on his life, relationships and business.
The interesting part was that the emotions and limited beliefs/blind spots he was unaware of were the very emotions guiding him on a subconscious level without him even realizing the damage it was creating in all areas of his life. And all of the unrecognized emotions and thinking patterns as well as blind spots (that all people I’ve met also have but are completely unaware of) were slowing him down and sabotaging his behavior, relationships, personal and business decisions and even his goals and sustainable forward movement.
We met once a week for about 2 years, then 90 minutes every 2 weeks for another year, and then once a month for about 6 months. So for over 3 years, we met regularly in 1-to-1sessions and he worked on all areas of his life, planned, set goals, achieved those goals and set even bigger ones, and never stopped working on whatever was necessary to help him change his behavior, achieve his goals and live a satisfied and successful life on his own terms of success.
So, in every session, besides digging deeper into all the issues, and struggles Flavius brought to the table, in a safe and trustworthy environment, we also dug deep into the emotional intelligence skills and competencies we intentionally worked on during the coaching program. And this was a fantastic support because he was able to develop the specific skills he needed to battle all of the challenges he faced in his relationships, business, communication and decision-making.
And regardless of how much work it took, or how painful it was sometimes to acknowledge and face certain realities, Flavius was determined to go through the process of change, trust the process, and achieve his new goals through meaningful breakthroughs. And he had my complete support throughout the entire process.
And that’s how he won his ‘battles’, one after the other. Some wins were faster, and some wins took more time, but all of them were worth it, celebrated and recognized because they all brought major breakthroughs in his life and business. Breakthroughs that would shift his thinking, behavior and direction to support his vision, mission and success.
So the over 3 years of significant and purposeful work, commitment, and consistency have led to multiple changes and transformations in Flavius’ marriage, relationships and business and a meaningful transformation of mindset and behavior that has also led to a more accomplished and satisfying life and business he now enjoys and celebrates.
As a result of over 3 years of commitment to change through coaching, accountability, commitment and the willingness to implement his new learnings and findings in a practical and actionable way, today Flavius is calmer, more confident, more aware and in charge of his emotions, can better set healthy boundaries, be more assertive yet empathic and has improved his communication and relationships.
He also has clarity over how he defines success, what truly motivates him, and how he can improve daily while also continually maintaining the healthy habits that support his purposeful growth in all areas of his life.
And with this clarity and transformation came purposeful growth and recognition, as today besides being the Founder of GEARUP MEDIA, you might also know Flavius as the digital marketer behind the 10x success of Smile Virtual. Or as the “marketing guy” helping the largest dental association in the US (Crown Council) scale online.
Working on my EQ had a huge impact on all of my relationships and business simply because I now know myself better and what I need to pay attention to. I managed to identify and understand my emotions, my anger, and most importantly I manage to control my emotions.On a professional level, I was able to make some decisions that freed me from anxiety, helped me to take control of my life and to understand what I truly want.
I am also a better father, husband, son, and friend due to the fact that I am more aware, I accept myself and want to continually develop. I went from an impulsive, anxious Flavius who was unaware of his emotions and values, to a Flavius who is calmer, in more control of his emotions, with healthy boundaries and who understands what motivates him and how he can improve on a daily basis.
What I most appreciated about Tünde and our collaboration was her absolute care, warmth and kindness. Next would be the professionalism and the excellence that she inspires. And third is her ability to understand your feelings, understand you as a person, her ability to ask the right questions and guide you through the labyrinth of your own mind.
I can speak with her about literally everything that goes through my mind without being worried not even one bit of being judged. And this has helped me to fix all my problems that in my mind seemed unfixable because I was to afraid to talk to someone about them. During the time we worked together I got to find out who I am and who I could be. So, thank you Tünde for playing such an important and beautiful role in my life.😄

Hi, my name is Tünde Macarie and I am the Founder of DigDeeper Leaders - Equipped for Impact serving as a Leadership & Emotional Intelligence Coach and Facilitator.
I am a huge believer that there’s no greater achievement in life than that of a wholesome human being who is well-equipped to BE and DO their very best and live a purposeful life, able to create a positive impact through excellence, wisdom, and compassion.
Combining my passion and curiosity for human behavior, transformational change, purposeful living and effective leadership, has led me to build my coaching business and help leaders, entrepreneurs, startup founders and their teams develop the EQ skills they need to be effective, perform well and successfully handle continuous change and challenges in business, society, relationships, and personal life.
My dream is to work with more and more influential entrepreneurs, leaders, teachers and politicians who dream big, have an insanely meaningful and purposeful vision and want to create a real, positive impact in their businesses, people and society.
I want to support such people to develop the necessary social skills and competencies to become truly effective leaders who can make a sustainable difference and live a meaningful legacy of excellence, innovation, high standards, wisdom and compassion.
So, through individual, personalized coaching sessions, I help and support leaders and entrepreneurs like yourself in identifying what areas in their lives and businesses need to be improved or transformed. I strategically help you develop the right social, communication, relational, decision-making and leadership skills that can support your SUCCESS and EXCELLENCE in business and become equipped for meaningful and lasting IMPACT.
By getting your life, relationships, and business in order!
We often tend to focus on what we know and neglect what we do not know or are not aware of. And this can make us overly confident in our beliefs and capacities as leaders and entrepreneurs. And so a lot of dysfunctionality and disorder gets overlooked and unaddressed, which can create a lot of unexpected damage both on a personal level and in business.
But by learning to become aware of what’s not working and why, and by addressing also uncomfortable and unexpected situations the right way and not postponing to make the hard decisions can have a huge impact on your business.
Not to mention that by bringing order and good functionality in your personal and business relationships and all areas of your life and by developing the skills and competencies that can support you in effective relationships, communication, and decision-making, you can better prepare for and possibly even prevent the damaging effects and painful consequences of unaddressed issues and postponed decisions.
Because first "The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy." (Edwin Bliss)
And second, because I believe that without order, clarity and excellence in our lives, there’s mess, confusion and mediocrity.
And mess simply creates more mess and confusion. And when there’s a mess in our lives there’s also masked and normalized dysfunctionality. The problem is that, by only masking disorder and dysfunctionality instead of addressing it, any type of normalized dysfunctionality can lead to serious damage in our personal lives, relationships and business.
Lack of order is oftentimes closely tied to a lack of higher purpose and direction, normalized dysfunction, and no or very little influence and impact in business, relationships and society.
Whereas, on the flip side, order leads to clarity, direction, purpose and meaning, as well as strategic positioning and positive influence. And even legacy.
