About

About As Mentor and Coach (www.wzmocniona.pl), I specialize in helping women to grow and advance their careers as leaders while maintaining balance and fulfillment in all aspects of life. During coach-mentoring 1:1 online sessions in Polish and in English, my areas of focus are: - building a career around strengths, passions, and talents as well as finding the path to professional fulfillment. And without burnout. - taking a Pit Stop to reflect and strategize on balancing work and life while achieving fulfillment - mentoring for future Expats considering moving abroad who want to prepare for such an opportunity As experienced HR Manager (over 30 years of experience working in international corporations) and working mother of 2 sons , I deeply understand the challenges faced by women striving for both success and balance in their lives—I have walked this path myself. Through corporate Female Networks, I have supported women in their growth, helping them become inspiring leaders and achieve their professional and personal goals.
