TURN YOUR TRUE CALLINGS INTO SUCCESS STORIES

Individual coaching and on-demand teamwork trainings 


Dmitri Friesen

Hello,
I'm Dmitri. I have spent fifteen years in the IT industry as a team lead and scrum master, focusing on building healthy, high-performing teams. At some point, I realized that my true passion lies in helping people live fully actualized lives, free from irrational fears and unconscious blockers. This realization sparked my own transformation journey and led me to pursue a new career as a coach and business trainer. 

I specialize in mindset coaching, helping people discover their true values, choose meaningul purpose in life, and overcome internal barriers to achieve it. My approach is grounded in Nietzschean philosophy and traditional ICF coaching, incorporating various action methods to create a personalized experience for everyone. Depending on the format, my sessions may involve working with bodily sensations, utilizing physical space, visualizing the internal world with symbols and metaphors. This approach leads to transformative insights, stronger internal motivation, and well-thought-out personal strategies. Often, a paradigm shift occurs as early as the first session, and almost certainly by the third. 

As a free spirit myself, I am most helpful to those seeking their true selves, knowing that following someone else’s rules is not an option for them. If we choose to step together on this exciting journey of self-exploration and realization, I will be committed to being the clearest mirror for you, reflecting both your strengths and limitations. While I will always support your progress, the journey will ultimately be yours to walk. Coaching can work wonders, but it is not magic—it is just a tool for uncovering hard truths and finding the internal motivation to break through to where you truly belong.

In addition to individual sessions, I offer on-demand teamwork related training to help teams overcome specific challenges, such as performance and accountability issues, internal conflicts, and a lack of trust. My training also focuses on developing practical leadership skills for managers and key specialists, including active listening, conducting reflective 1:1s, providing developmental feedback, and enhancing coaching management skills. Additionally, I facilitate events and moderate managerial discussions to ensure that all perspectives are heard and critical questions are openly addressed. 

My services are available both in-person and online, and I’m proficient in English, Russian, and Estonian. Don’t hesitate to book a free discovery session for yourself or your team to explore how I can help you flourish.

Sincerely,
Dmitri

Individual coaching

Mindset coaching helps individuals understand their true values and what they ultimately want to achieve in life. It supports the creation of personal strategies to gather the resources needed to turn callings into reality. Through guided self-reflection, the process feels like a conversation with your wiser self, years ahead. The coach doesn’t give advice or teach you about your life but helps you highlight and focus on what’s already there, waiting for your attention. Honest and specific feedback offers a clear view of progress and allows for timely course corrections when needed. 

Main topics:

Leadership workshops

According to Patrick Lencioni, an internationally renowned teamwork researcher and author of several foundational books on the topic, the five common dysfunctions of underperforming teams begin with a lack of trust. Tailor-made teamwork training equips teams with the practical skills they need to build trust and maximize their performance. 

As a longtime scrum master and team lead, I offer a variety of teamwork-related training sessions. From facilitating retrospectives to establishing specific processes within teams, I'm ready to help your team wherever it is needed most. 

Currently awailable workshops:

All my workshops are practical and based on an experiential learning approach (Allan Kolb). Participants learn by answering coaches questions and actively engaging in group and pair activities. 


Public speaking coaching


Public speaking coaching is a tailor-made individual or group training meant for those seeking to improve their presenting skills, overcome stage anxiety and develop an engaging delivery style. Training teaches how to write speeches, provide simple explanations of a complex issues and answer questions on the spot, remaining calm in any unexpected situation. 

It’s a 100% practical course based on individual feedback, coaching and progressive home assignments. Get ready to write, present, film and have a lot of fun. Training can be provided individually or as a group training on-site.

Event facilitation

If your company is experiencing rapid expansion or confronting a reduction in business, it is crucial to take time to process the changes with the team. External facilitation helps everyone to feel equal and speak up freely. The facilitator helps to deliver important messages neutrally, let everyone express their opinion and find a common way forward.  

Facilitation can be done in many ways from discussion moderation to ideation and co-vision.

Supervision

Every individual working directly with people, whether as a manager or specialist, will greatly benefit from having a regular supervision. Supervision helps overcome work-related stress, resolve conflicts, and adapt to change. While employees may join an organization for its products or services, they often leave due to issues with management. To support and develop managers, systematic supervision should be an essential part of any sustainable organizational culture.
