Gabriela Mihaila

Iasi

Summary

10+ years sustaining Business Growth through 3 major roles with direct impact on Sales: Training, Digital and Activation.

I had the chance to pass through DISC profile three times: first in 2016, secondly in 2019 and third in 2021. From Advisor to Attainer and after Counselor, there is no other summary that can define me better than in the description below, taken from the Disc evaluation (the whole document can be shared, as of course there is also full of improvement points)

Recognizing the value of a good relationship, Gabriela is very patient and caring when relating to others. Not afraid to take a bold approach, Gabriela is willing to challenge the status quo. Original and
creative, this individual acts with confidence when implementing new solutions. Gabriela will tend to use a balance of intuition and facts when making decisions.
