Acquisition International - Issue 8 2021 19 Contact: Cristian Fertea Company: INITIAL Web Address: www.cristianfertea.com Most Inspiring Businessman & Business Coach (Eastern Europe): Cristian Fertea ach business needs a sturdy team, but for a team to be strong they need an unwavering leader. Each team needs someone who understands how businesses work and how to move everyone down the path to success together. That’s where business coaching comes into play. With many years’ expertise behind him, Cristian Fertea has developed a rich pool of expertise which he generously shares with those on their own journey of growth. On the INITIAL website, Cristian says, “On my journey, I faced many challenges and problems that I had to get over”. This is the same for not just any businessperson but for anyone, in any aspect of their lives. Cristian says that the most challenging things that he had to work through were the moments when he had no control and felt like destiny would not work in his favour. He says that he was unhappy with being part of the rat race and, although his business was challenging, he didn’t have any elements of diversity or adventure in his life. Finally, he says he didn’t feel loved or appreciated for who he is. He says that, in time, he understood what it was like to be lonely even when surrounded by people. Even with everyone around you and everything you could ever want. Through owning businesses since 1993, he has become a business veteran. As his site states, these businesses range from diverse activity domains to publicity, press, tourism and more. In 2005, he began consulting and, with all this experience and many certifications under his belt, he has written books like, ‘What to do when you don’t know what to do’ and ‘You can do it’. Cristian says, “The most efficient and successful program [I offer] is Top Club Mastermind, which is a unique combination of consulting, networking, coaching and experience sharing’. Its core teachings are based on values of integrity, mutual support, teamwork, and involvement which all work together to create the perfect mixture for a business. He says that if we take any of these values “out of the equation, the mastermind program would not be the same - in fact, I think it would not exist at all”. This just goes to show how much balance is important when it comes to success. Cristian’s own core values are freedom, support, teamwork, and involvement, and much like the elements above, the individual aspects would not be enough without each other as buttresses. He works primarily with business owners, CEOs, and Human Resource Managers to quickly identify solutions, creating maps to identify concrete steps to overcome obstacles, challenges and solve problems to achieve goals and objectives. This allows clients to move to a new level of results and successes. E Cristian teaches how to manage emotions and inner thoughts, how to advance in career paths, how to be the best version of themselves and materialise wishes as well as how to be a better leader. He has 20 unique programs that he created from his own personal experience. These include lessons on how to manage time and stress, as well as building efficient relationships with clients and organizational communication. He teaches leadership skills at the highest level for faster sales and better company structures. Cristian says he does this by using scientific discoveries on how the human mind works alongside his personal experience in entrepreneurship, management, and leadership. All of this helps clients to have a better relationship with themselves and, in turn, a more nourishing relationship with their businesses. As we all evolve, our businesses must grow and morph with us. Cristian wants to expand the Top Club Mastermind program worldwide in the future, an aim that is quickly coming to fruitions, thanks to its utility to businessowners navigating crises like the Covid-19 pandemic. This crisis has forced businesses to re-think their business strategies, not only in becoming more online based but in rethinking flexibility and adaptation. This has been where INITIAL has come to the rescue, to support those who have also been hit by the challenges of the global pandemic. We have the capacity to constantly push ourselves forward into the next thing that we think we want. Constantly searching for the thing that makes us feel ourselves, makes us feel accomplished, makes us feel improved and allows us to feel whole. But there is no ‘finished product’. The only rat race we are all part of is the rat race with ourselves. This is the race to success in whatever was we feel we should be achieving personally. For whatever reasons we have, whether we want things for ourselves or for the approval of others. In the end we are all sharing the same world, fighting the same battles of which most are with ourselves. This is the message that Cristian seeks to share in all his works and the message that has Cristian international recognition and accolades such as Most Inspiring Businessman & Business Coach (Eastern Europe) at the AI Business Excellence Awards 2021. INITIAL SRL’s Cristian Fertea is this year’s winner of Most Inspiring Businessman & Business coach in Eastern Europe after a long journey of self-development. He is not only a businessman but a business coach, helping others to grow and evolve. May21686
