COACHING
One of the most powerful ways to attract and keep top talent.
The burden of the 2020 pandemic has left everyone, but especially the executives and top talent, feeling exhausted and stretched.
What they need now is support, and coaching is one of the best and most efficient ways to help them. But coaching is much more than a crutch in a crisis.
Coaching is one of the most powerful tools supporting human and organizational transformation.
It is also one of the most powerful tools to attract and keep top talent: people expect that their employers appreciate them and take their growth seriously by offering personalized development opportunities.

Executive Coaching
Post-pandemic leadership requires a new playbook. This playbook starts with the leader’s mind and the ability to lead oneself first.
Coaching supports the executives in developing and refining their skills in a trusting “container” environment.
It is also often used to remove roadblocks and limiting beliefs which hold the clients back in their decisions or their own development as effective and confident leaders.
Coaching helps leaders:
- with strategic thinking
- increase personal insight by providing a supportive space for reflection
- enhance their capacity to cope with changes (agility and resilience)
- engage and motivate their teams better (people skills and EQ)
- plan and achieve their personal and business goals (focus, mindfulness)
- and promote general leadership efficacy by significantly raising self-management.
Through coaching, leaders deepen their self-awareness and learn how to rewire for mindfulness, vulnerability, courage and authenticity.
“I can recommend Izabela as both an executive and a life coach. Her individual approach, great communication skills and 'helicopter view' of discussed issues help you see your own blind spots, and inspire cooperation to do what it takes to develop yourself as a person, and as a leader.”
“Before working with Izabela I wasn’t sure how to position myself at work and how to get the respect and opportunities I deserved. Izabela helped me get clarity about my values and goals, and she helped me uncover my limiting thought patterns that were sabotaging my professional and personal success.”
“She has helped me to develop a much deeper understanding of the differences between cultures and it has increased my effectiveness as a manager in international projects. And more importantly - I know myself much better now because Izabela keeps holding up the mirror to me.”
“As my leadership development coach, Izabela has skillfully triggered the points crucial for my self-reflection. She has guided me through tough and difficult moments, and she has helped me to overcome barriers and limiting beliefs hindering my success. Without Izabela, I would not be as successful as I am in my current executive position.”
“Just a few sessions with Izabela gave me more than several years of mentoring. I have reached another level of self-understanding, self-improvement and what comes with that, I have become a better leader who is well respected by her team.”
“During my entire business life I have never had a better coach and partner to improve my skills, to develop my personality and to get feedback regarding relationships and emotions in the internal company network. I'm very grateful to you for this long-lasting and open-minded relationship - thank you.”
“I'm at the beginning of my journey, but I can already see that thanks to Izabela’s coaching, doors that were closed to me so far are now opening. I can really recommend Izabela to any young executive who has an ambition to grow and needs a strong partner to challenge and guide them on the way.”
“Izabela is an outstanding coach focussing on communication and the differences in cultures. She was an invaluable help to get me prepared for my plant manager role in the US.”
“The coaching sessions we had together let me view myself from a new and unexpected perspective. What surprised me was Izabela's ability to show me my blind spots and a wide context of challenges on the way to be a better, more effective person and leader. Her intuition and insightful observations made our meetings interesting and inspiring for me. ”

Leadership Coaching for Women
Growing body of data confirms that when women tap into their full potential, everybody benefits.
However, they often shy away from reaching for leadership positions because they lack confidence, self-promotion skills, and the right mindset or they don’t want to compromise their work-life balance.
Coaching can help them build skills and confidence, and become strong leaders without compromising who they are or burning out.
Coaching helps women:
- leave their limiting beliefs behind
- build their leadership skills without changing who they are
- build their confidence and self-respect
- build and leverage their networks
- set and keep healthy boundaries
- learn to self-promote with ease and class
- have self-control under pressure
- and master the mindset of a leader.
Women need to believe in themselves more, and care about being liked less.
I want all women to be empowered, respected, fulfilled and keeping healthy boundaries at work and at home. During sixteen years as a business owner and through my experience as a corporate employee I’ve learned what it takes to be respected and taken seriously as a professional woman.
I support women with my trainings and coaching so that they can stop wasting energy on people-pleasing, learn to self-promote and stand up for themselves and their teams without worrying about “what will people say”.

Teams
Team Coaching
Team coaching helps teams understand and align around a common purpose to deliver the best results for all stakeholders, while creating a sustainable environment that cultivates long-term excellence and success.
Coaching helps teams:
- become resilient to the ever-changing dynamics of the modern business world
- establish inspiring culture and vision
- define clear roles
- commit to team accountability
- manage conflict well
- and increase the level of creativity and innovation.
Team coaching is effective when:
- A new team is being formed and needs to quickly create momentum
- A key team is not working as effectively as it could, and the team leader and team members agree that they want to do better
- A long-established team has lost its sparkle and wants to regain it
- A VIMT (Virtual, International, Multicultural Team) needs global dexterity to function effectively
- A top team wants to become a role model for the rest of the organization

YOU CO-DESIGN YOUR BEST COACHING EXPERIENCE
Things you should know before working with a coach
Coaching is a life-changing experience that helps people tap into their creativity, values and inner resources and empowers them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
It is client-driven and it focuses on managing personal transformation: setting goals, creating clear outcomes, and helping clients stretch beyond their comfort zones by helping them push through fears and removing the limiting beliefs that hold them back.
Coaching is for people who want things to be different.
They may want more from life, more:
- peace of mind
- security
- confidence
- impact in their work
- health
- financial stability
- freedom
- joy
- balance
- fulfillment
- quality
- happiness
Or they may want less:
- stress
- confusion
- fear
- financial pressure
- frustration
- worry
- resistance
- self-criticism
- disappointment
- conflict
- dissatisfaction
- struggle
Coaching is for people who want extraordinary results and who want to stand out from the crowd.
If you want to take advantage of an opportunity or challenge, if you’re stuck trying to take it to the next level—and you’re not sure why it’s not working, or if you simply believe there’s something more to discover in your personal or professional life, partnering with a professional coach can benefit you.
Coaching is a deep transformational process. It takes time to build awareness, to challenge the status quo, to stretch beyond the old comfort zones, to grow and develop new mindsets and habits.
It is for people who are committed to their own growth and transformation and who understand that coaching is an investment into their better future.
The biggest difference between coaching and therapy is that in coaching, a client is an emotionally and psychologically healthy person. In therapy, the client is emotionally unwell and needs healing.
Therapy looks back and focuses on examining the past to understand how the client got to where they are now.
Coaching looks forward and concentrates on where the clients are right now, where they would like to be in the future and how they can get there.
Simply put, coaching helps clients find their own answers and consulting tells the client what to do.
A coach’s focus is to help the clients understand themselves, and to guide them into making the best decisions and taking the right steps to achieve their goals. A coach will offer the tools and resources, honest feedback, encouragement and accountability, but will not offer solutions.
A mentor is generally an older, more experienced person who supports a younger and less experienced person.
A mentor can provide access to resources and networks, or can offer practical tips on how to solve a particular problem based on their own wisdom and experience. The mentoring relationship is informal and the mentor usually does not receive payment for mentoring. Mentor/mentee relationship is open-ended and can last for many years.
Some things, like swimming or leadership, simply can’t be learnt by only acquiring knowledge. You can read books and articles about the tools, skills and strategies that you need, but without practice and a powerful coach to help you push through the inevitable roadblocks, resistance and moments of doubt, you risk spinning your wheels in place and getting nowhere beyond your knowledge.
A coach will point to your mistakes, give you honest feedback (even if you really don’t want to hear it), will hold you accountable and will help you stay focused on your goals.
