Building your professional life, a company, career abroad is not easy. Poland is no exception.

Polish language alone constitutes a huge obstacle. And it is not the biggest problem. Every expat shall notice that many things go differently in Poland. You may feel frustrated, lost and lonely, you may be experiencing a cultural shock.

Being a coach, entrepreneur, cross-cultural mentor and travel industry expert, I help my clients look through and over the invisible barriers. I help them understand what is hidden behind the words and gestures so they can feel more at ease and less confused. Understanding and adapting one’s communication style gives them the ability to build trust and cross-cutural relations.

Career without frontiers is for those who want to feel good and happy in Poland being a foreigner.

I work with clients at 1:1 sessions and as a trainer.
Apart from sharing my intercultural and psychological knowledge, I am also an experienced a manager in a family business offering incentive travel to international companies.
I realised countless trips with my corporate clients all over the world.

Education

I am a master of economics (Warsaw School of Economics), master of ethnoogy (Freie University Berlin), bachelor of Latin American Sciences (Passau University).

Smile & Trust

My clients say that I lough a lot and that they did not know that a coaching session may be fun.
Indeed, all is possible when I run a session and a variety of emotions might become apparent.
Discovering that the world does not have frontiers for you and it is possible to make happy life in Poland is a terrific experience.

After work

I love the outdoors, nature and I make sure it is part of my everyday life. I do sports every day or at least walk with my dog in the forest. I am fascinated by psychology and cultural differencies. I am a mum and wife.

I believe that people are quite similar
even though everybody is a unique
human being. It is a different cultural
background, language, outlook and lack
of knowledge
that makes some of us think
we are so different.
I believe that respect and
understanding make
the world a better
place to live.

Testimonials
I had a pleasure of being a coaching client of Kasia as well as a partner in developing our coaching skills. Kasia has a broad and deep academic knowledge, a rich work and life experience, and a high IQ combined with an incredible intuition that she uses with grace and precision in her coaching sessions. Thanks to her I could quickly cut through many layers of conscious thinking and dive straight into the real core of the issues we've been working on. She has effectively helped me get what I wanted from each session and design my own best future actions and solutions. She was brilliant at helping me create calm, ease, work-life balance and sustainable progress on my challenging business journey. We also coined some fun and powerful mantras that I keep going back to whenever I need them. She has always created plenty of space for me, with patience, full respect and acceptance for my goals, my values, my needs. She is a warm, supportive person, wholeheartedly dedicated to her work and her clients. She is authentic and so humble, despite her enormous expertise. And she keeps growing her knowledge and skillset all the time! - I've been observing her doing so non stop for 1,5 years now and I'm truly in awe. So if you are searching for a coach representing the highest professional standards as well as full personal integrity, definitely reach out to Kasia.

I am delighted to see that she has decided to bring this enthusiasm to coaching and helping others to lead more purposeful and fulfilling lives and I’m confident that she’ll be a great asset to her clients, just like she has been to me as a friend and a coach.
