Action, not talking.
Coaching should change something.
How you lead. How you make decisions. How you influence. How your team works together. How you handle the conversation you have been avoiding. And ultimately, the results you create.
I am an executive and team coach, coaching supervisor, mentor coach, author, and leadership development expert working with senior leaders, executives, and teams around the world.
I specialize in working where leadership gets complicated: high-stakes roles, organizational change, difficult team dynamics, conflict, cross-cultural collaboration, executive presence, stakeholder influence, and leading through uncertainty.
My approach is systemic, pragmatic, and action-oriented. We look beyond the individual leader to the whole system: relationships, team dynamics, organizational culture, competing priorities, stakeholder expectations, and the patterns that either enable or constrain performance.
Expertise backed by experience
I hold the ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential — the highest level of individual coaching credential awarded by ICF — as well as advanced team coaching credentials from both ICF (ACTC) and EMCC (ITCA).
I am also an EMCC-accredited Coaching Supervisor (ESIA) and Senior Practitioner (EIA), and an ICF Mentor Coach. I mentor and supervise professional coaches and team coaches, supporting them in developing greater depth, confidence, and mastery in their practice.
Before and alongside coaching, I built extensive experience as a manager, managing partner, business owner, consultant, trainer, and nonprofit board member. I understand leadership not only through coaching models, but through the realities of organizational life: competing agendas, difficult conversations, politics, ambiguity, accountability, relationships, and the pressure to deliver results through other people.
Executive & Team Coaching
I work with leaders who want to increase their impact without becoming somebody they are not.
That can mean stepping successfully into a bigger role, strengthening executive presence, influencing senior stakeholders, navigating organizational politics, developing other leaders, handling conflict differently, or finding a more effective way to lead through complexity.
With leadership and cross-functional teams, I focus on clarity, alignment, collaboration, accountability, communication, and the ability to work productively with differences and conflict.
The objective isn’t simply to have better conversations in a coaching session.
The objective is to create visible change outside it.
International perspective
Based in Silicon Valley, California, I work internationally in English and Polish with leaders and teams operating across countries, functions, and cultures.
I contribute to the wider leadership and coaching profession through writing, speaking, mentoring, supervision, and professional communities. I am a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and Newsweek Expert Forum and have presented my work within international coaching communities.
I am also the author of two leadership books published in Poland: Effective Teams: How to Achieve More Together and One-on-One: Courageous Conversations with Employees.
My philosophy
Insight is useful. Action creates change.
I bring listening, challenge, systemic thinking, business experience, and — when useful — mentoring into the room. My role isn’t to tell leaders who they should become. It is to help them see more clearly, make better choices, and turn those choices into action.
Action, not talking.
