About me

20+ years in international HR and working with people in organisations

I have gone from HR specialist to head of international HR teams, working in 12 countries and in companies of 80 to 2000 employees. Today I combine that experience with emotional intelligence, neurointegration and a psychodynamic view of working relationships.

Vitalina Khristoradova

I work with companies, leaders and professionals in situations of growth, change, high workload and professional transitions - where a tool alone is not enough and it matters to understand what is happening with the person, their role, the team and the organisation.

The challenges I work with

Over 20+ years in HR in Russia and international business, I have faced these challenges from inside companies: as an HR leader, a partner to managers and a participant in management decisions.

  • Hiring

    How to define more precisely who the business really needs, build a quality interview and reduce the risk of choosing the wrong candidate.

  • Onboarding

    What to do when a new employee has joined the team but onboarding is not going as expected: how to understand whether the mistake was in hiring, expectations, the way onboarding was organised or the manager’s actions.

  • Retention

    How to see the real reasons someone might leave and make a balanced decision: keep the employee or let them go.

  • A new management role

    How to help a strong specialist become a manager: change the way they work, build relationships with the team and cope with the new responsibility.

  • Change and uncertainty

    How to keep the team manageable during reorganisations, redundancies, growing workload and other changes, when the manager does not have all the answers either.

  • The state of the leader and the team

    How to tell burnout, chronic anxiety and fatigue apart and what exactly to do in each case. Practical tools for a manager - for themselves, the team and creating a working environment that lowers the risk of exhaustion.

I do not start with a ready-made training. First we define the company’s real challenge, and then we choose the format of work.

Programme

A modular programme: «The Leader Who Can Handle Anything»

The programme helps leaders make more accurate decisions about people at every stage - from stepping into a role, hiring and onboarding to retention, difficult change and working with an overloaded team.

The programme consists of 6 independent modules. A company can choose a single module or assemble a programme around its current challenge. Each module is a live online session of 3-4 hours: short theory, ready-to-use algorithms, practice and a review of the company’s real cases.

  1. 01

    Leader initiation

    How to step into a new role, agree expectations with the team and shape your first management decisions.

  2. 02

    Recruiting without mistakes

    The vacancy brief, a competency model, structured interviews, candidate motivation and the accuracy of the final decision.

  3. 03

    Onboarding

    Key points before the start date, on day one, in the first month and the first three months. The roles of the manager, HR, mentor and buddy. How to tell a hiring mistake from an onboarding mistake.

  4. 04

    Retention

    How to understand the real reasons people leave, make a balanced retention decision and conduct stay, farewell and exit interviews.

  5. 05

    Leader transformation

    How to act in situations the leader did not choose: redundancies, project closures, growing workload without resources, change and uncertainty.

  6. 06

    Managing burnout, chronic anxiety and fatigue

    How to tell these states apart, what a leader can do and how to create a working environment that lowers the risk of team exhaustion.

How we start

  1. 01 A short 30-40 minute call - we discuss the company’s challenge.
  2. 02 If needed - 2-4 structured interviews with key stakeholders and a short analytical summary.
  3. 03 We choose only the modules needed for the specific challenge.
  4. 04 We work on the company’s real cases; the materials and tools stay with the participants.

Pilot «Team state and resilience»

First understand what is happening in the selected group of employees right now, and only then decide whether there are grounds to go further and what support is really needed.

My clients

Who is this for?

I work with HR professionals, middle and senior managers, C-level executives, people planning a career change or relocation, and those experiencing burnout - one-to-one and in a corporate format.

You feel your career has stalled:

  • Stuck in your career - doing the same job for several years.
  • Can’t decide on your goals - you analyse the options rationally but feel no inner motivation.
  • Want radical change - you dream of switching professions or entering the international market.
