"I help leaders in life and work to structure and scale up their growth."
Take charge. Carve your own path toward success.
Understanding the psychology of an organization and individual approach toward decision-makers transforms high-performers into exceptional leaders in business and in life.
The business landscape has changed dramatically in recent years asking even more from its leaders. Today’s multigenerational and multicultural workforce needs an organizational environment that is all at once satisfying, fulfilling, empowering, self-identifying, developmental, and vision-driven.
Creating (and thriving) in such a fast-paced and ever-evolving ecosystem can be a stumbling block, even for veteran managers. Leaders face a constant battle between the need to adapt and remain faithful to their own personalities.
It’s easy to lose yourself in multitasking on the way up the corporate ladder.
The good news is that you don’t have to overcome the challenges alone.
And you don’t have to forfeit your own ideals or aspirations.
Learn how to lead and inspire with a healthy confidence that is authentically you.
Why Leadership?
Imagine a workforce where employee engagement skyrockets, collaboration becomes second nature, and productivity reaches new heights.
Imagine being a leader in your own life and of your own success.
Imagine doing it all in a way that speaks your truth and truly fulfills you.
This is the reality a professional Organizational psychologist and Leadership coach helps build.
As Organizational psychologist and Leadership coach I offer unbiased insight and fresh perspectives that can highlight blind spots and areas for improvement. Or as I like to call them, “opportunities”.
Coaching is one method used, based on the firm belief that you have all the answers inside you. I ask the questions you may not have thought to ask yourself or might even provoke you ij order to lead you to the answers you never knew you had within you.
I support you or the people in your organization to become more than taskmasters— to be relationship builders, change-makers, mentors, and inspirations.
When a potential is unlocked, it has a ripple effect across an entire enterprise.
A leader with improved self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills will have better relationships with their teams, resulting in increased employee engagement& satisfaction, collaboration, retention, and productivity.
This isn't just leadership – it's transformational leadership.
Who is leadership for? EVERYBODY!!!
My approach isn't confined to a single realm. It's a dynamic resource that caters to both individuals and organizations driven by the pursuit of excellence.
Whether you're a professional seeking individual, personal growth mindset builder or an organization striving for remarkable success, I offer you a tailored solution to empower, inspire, and transform.
Do you struggle with:
- Time management
- Communication skills
- Lack of people skills
- Delegation struggles
- Decision making
- Prioritizing
- Setting and achieving goals
- Focus
- Receiving feedback
- Being action-oriented
- Problem-solving
- Crisis management
- Or lack of ambition?
If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of the above, then my system of approaches could be just what you need to take charge and steer your path toward success.

How does Desislava Mihaylova method works?
The process focuses on the future. I’ll provide the questions, I will be provoking and sometimes inconvenient for you to provide your most certain answers on your way forward.
Thus, you create your own unique plan to follow and learn from. The person who is in charge of forging their own path toward success is more likely to succeed.
My approach is a result and action-oriented technique. It is not pure psychology or therapy, and it is not meant to be a lifetime engagement.
Through a series of one-to-one sessions, we’ll begin the process of reaching a certain vision by learning how to ask the right questions, to get the right answers.
“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
Tony Robbins
We’ll begin with a single 30-minute session, which I offer for FREE with no obligation.
From there, you can decide on the best way forward.
Choose between individual sessions scheduled as and when you need them.
Or block book a series of 12 sessions.
It’s up to you!
Over the work with me, you’ll become familiar with the techniques and can start to implement them independently in your own life.
It’s my aim to provide you with the tools you need to step into your own power and take control, essentially becoming your own leadership coach.

About me
I am Desislava Mihaylova. My hobbies are windsurfing, beginner in wing foiling, snowboarding, and my favorite - swimming in salty deep waters.
In the first part of my professional life, I was a Civil engineer, a master in diploma and mission, managing prominent reconstruction projects, all part of the cultural monument heritage of Sofia, Bulgaria.
The second part of my professional development I dedicated to psychology and more concretely the one in organizational business environment. A knowledge so interesting and needed these days, especially in terms of organizational development.
The journey from civil engineering to psychology was a natural evolution for me. It's a transition that is driven by a deep understanding of human potential, honed by technical proficiency, and fueled by a passion for growth.
Through my own journey, I've harnessed these parallels to create an approach that marries the best of both worlds.
I see myself as a structural engineer focused on the main pillar of society— the individual as part of civilization.
Each one of us is an integral building block of society. By being the best, most high-performing versions of ourselves, we can create a better environment for all, in the workplace and beyond.
I’m greatly looking forward to teaming up with you and being of service to you in reaching your goals!
Education
I have a Master's in Civil Engineering from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Sofia, Bulgaria. My second Master's is in Organizational psychology and Cross-cultural management from Sofia University. I am a certified practitioner coach in one of the largest and most successful Coaching Training organizations in the World - Noble Manhattan. I was certified in Yale University for prof. Paul Bloom's class in Introduction to Psychology. I have done and keep doing many seminars by Simon Sinek, Tony Robbins, prof. Jordan Peterson, Esther Perel and many others. It is a constant development and curiosity.
Experience
My experience being for 20 years executive assistant to an entrepreneur is immense and kind of unreal. I was not only in charge of the most prominent restoration project of cultural monuments at the heart of Sofia city but also the main facilitator and organizer of the largest cultural events and progressive business visions. In HR I was responsible for over 1 5o0 people.
I had the possibility to be the first "in-house" coach at the largest telecom in Bulgaria.
I was a Marketing manager, Author and Member of the BoD of www.egoist.bg.
In my private practice, my clients include the leading digital media group, a variety of start-ups as well as multiple individuals.

There are well-known myths about the phenomenon of Leadership, according to different scientific theories:
1. Leadership is a rare skill.
Great leaders may be rare, but everyone has leadership potential. Furthermore, people may be leaders in one organization and have quite insignificant roles in another. Leadership opportunities are accessible to most of us.
2. Leaders are born, not made.
Actually, major capacities and competencies of leadership can be learned, and everyone is capable of learning given the will to do so.
3. Leaders are charismatic.
Some are, but most are not.
4. Leadership exists only at the top of the organization.
In fact, the larger the organization, the more leadership roles it is likely to have.
5. The leader controls and directs.
It is not about exercising power, it is about the empowerment of the self and others. Leaders lead by inspiring not ordering, by enabling individual initiative and experiences.
Leadership skills and healthy confidence are in you! Develop.
