Case Study: Why Anca Chose Soft Power – and How It Changed Her Leadership Forever
When Anca Trandaf set out to gain her ICF accreditation, she already had solid coaching experience under her belt. A transformation leader and trainer, she’d coached countless professionals and led numerous workshops. But when it came to building her own practice, one rooted in purpose and paid clients, she felt stuck.
Then, during a casual chat at her local yoga studio, fate intervened.
“I was talking with an old friend about our coaching plans,” Anca recalls. “She told me about One of many and said, ‘The more I hear you talk, the more I think your purpose is completely aligned with them.’ And that was it. I never saw her again—but that moment changed everything.”
A Leap Into the Unknown
Anca began exploring the One of many Certification programme. But she wasn’t instantly sold.
“At first, I was reluctant. Feminine archetypes? I wasn’t sure how that would land in the corporate world I wanted to operate in. But as a coach, I knew resistance is often a sign. So I leaned in.”
What convinced her to join was the structure and tools of the 12-week programme – alongside the promise of a built-in community and business starter kit to help her finally gain traction with clients.
The Real Breakthrough? Her Own Leadership
Over the following months, Anca not only completed the One of many Leadership & Coaching Certification, but also attended the BeLove retreat and began applying the tools to her own life and work.
“I realised that deep down, I still carried old fears – that being feminine meant being weak. That I wouldn’t be taken seriously or get things done.”
Through the PowerTypes, that began to shift. She embraced Queen energy, learning to set boundaries without guilt. The phrase “the Queen does not do guilt” became her new mantra. And the biggest revelation?
“Understanding that Lover is the enabler for all the other PowerTypes. That was huge. I’m still on a journey with self-care and self-compassion, but the shift has been extraordinary.”
From Self-Doubt to Paying Clients
For years, Anca knew she was a good coach – but struggled to attract paying clients. That changed during the programme.
“I got my first paid clients through One of many – and they’re now reaching out again for more. The feedback I’ve received is incredible. They tell me their work and home lives have completely transformed.”
She’s now building a niche coaching women in tech – especially those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or silenced by their inner critic. And she’s doing it all in a way that feels natural, aligned, and sustainable.
A Different Kind of Coaching Training
What set the One of many Leadership & Coaching Certification apart for Anca wasn’t just the coaching methodology. It was the integration of feminine energy, community, and a practical pathway to build a real business.
“It’s more than a coaching programme. It’s a place where you can safely practice how to use your feminine energy. How to be in flow, rather than in fight. It gave me the tools to thrive – and inspire others to do the same.”
Anca now stands as a confident coach, a powerful leader, and a walking example of what’s possible when women stop fighting to fit a mould – and start leading from who they really are.
