CAREER WITHOUT
FRONTIERS
For expats who want to build
their life on their own
terms in Poland.
Katarzyna Szełemej-Pobożniak
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.

Experience
I am a coach, blogger, traveller.
I work with clients at 1:1 sessions and as a trainer.

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). I also have a postgraduate diploma in motivational psychology (SWPS University). I am ICF certified coach with ACC accreditation and consultant of first psychological help.
I speak English, Spanish and German. Polish is my mother tounge.
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.
