Edita Horvat

I am writing to express my interest in the remote Life Coach position focused on supporting students in identifying their strengths, developing their potential, and creating effective strategies for personal and academic success.

I hold a Master’s degree in Pedagogy and have spent my career working in international, people-centered environments where communication, development, and support were essential. My professional experience includes over six years as a Cabin Crew Supervisor with Emirates Airline and more than eight years in the hospitality and tourism sector, during which I mentored colleagues, supported individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, and helped others navigate challenges, build confidence, and achieve their goals.

In addition to my professional experience, I am currently completing an ICF-accredited coaching program as well as an NLP Coach certification. Through these programs, I have developed a structured coaching approach that combines active listening, powerful questioning, goal setting, and accountability. I am passionate about helping young people gain clarity, recognize their unique strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies that support both personal growth and academic achievement. I would like to share a framework of my coaching program designed specially for students and young adults to increase their self confidence, executive functions and success levels.
