Executive Coach ICF & Mentor · Tricity, Poland

An experienced leader who became a coach.

Before I became a coach, I spent 20 years making the same decisions my clients face today - in executive roles at Gates, International Paper, Xerox and Atos. I led teams ranging from a dozen or so people to more than 450, and was responsible for budgets exceeding EUR 6 million. Today, as an accredited ICF coach and mentor, I support executives, business owners and managers with decisions, change, and staying sharp under pressure - choosing coaching or mentoring based on what the situation actually needs.

"We don't look for easy answers. We look for the right decisions, through honest dialogue and partner-level confrontation."

What I help with

Coaching and mentoring for leaders who actually run things.

I work mainly with executives, business owners and managers - as an ICF coach and as a mentor, depending on what the situation calls for.


How we work together

A process at your pace - a steady marathon or a fast sprint.

In executive coaching we work within what's often called the business triangle - a three-party setup that keeps goals aligned with the leader's development and measurable for the organization.

Three sides of one contract - shared goal, clear rules, measurable outcome.

Let's meet

We start with a no-obligation conversation (45-60 min, free). We get to know each other and check whether we're a good fit to work together.

We set the direction

We look at your situation, needs and challenges together. We contract goals - measurable for the business, so we can genuinely assess the process's impact on the organization.

We get to work

I put together a personalized plan suited to where you are. Once you approve it, we start - and I stay with you at every stage, pushing and supporting you past what's holding you back.

About me

A management practitioner, not just a coach.

I'm an experienced leader and manager, an accredited ICF coach and a Neuro-Change Master Trainer. For the past 6 years I've run Healthtime, supporting executives, business owners and managers with decisions, change and building organizational resilience.

I built divisions of international organizations, created development strategies and coaching programs as a senior manager - before I taught others to do it, I made those decisions myself. I treat a leader's mental resilience and energy as a business resource - one that shows up directly in the quality and speed of boardroom decisions, not as a separate "wellness" topic.
