Who is she though?
I help introverted and highly sensitive professionals build quiet confidence by leveraging their strengths authentically, without pretending to be extroverts.
Scroll down to read about my story.
How I got hereā¦
Before becoming a coach, I spent eight years working in marketing - primarily in the tech space - and lived in Warsaw, Stockholm, Oslo, Edinburgh, and London.
I served as Head of Growth Marketing at a climate tech startup, Global Growth Manager at a venture capital fund, and Social Media Specialist at a large corporation, among other roles.
From day one of my professional career, I climbed the ladder, steadily gaining more responsibilities, ownership, and trust. I received promotion after promotion and soon found my life consumed by work.
I didnāt mind.
I loved it.
I followed the steps that made sense from a career perspective, playing by āthe rulesā and embodying the perfect employee - always willing to help and go above and beyond.
But as I kept ticking off the boxes, I started to feel like something was missing, and I couldnāt quite put my finger on it.
My challenges as an introverted leaderā¦
If youāve ever felt pressured to be more extroverted to succeed, youāre not alone - I used to feel the same way.
Iāve always been an ambitious high-achiever - but I often felt overlooked.
The truth is, Iām an introvert and a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
I thought the only way to succeed professionally was to be more extroverted, more social, more opinionated - basically, āmore.ā
So I put on a mask.
Butā¦ I felt drained, overwhelmed, and burned out.
This wasnāt even imposter syndrome - I was actually an imposter, pretending to be someone I wasnāt.
I looked at myself and admitted, "This is not sustainable."
I began researching introversion (mostly Susan Cainās work) and high sensitivity (mostly Elaine Aronās work), and for the first time, I felt seen and understood.
I decided that if I canāt fight it, Iāll own it.
I found a way to succeed.
And I would love to share some of that with you.
It took me a while but I found a way to:
show up with more confidence at work and in life
take control of my career and how it fits into my life
find my authentic leadership style, without compromising my quiet nature
set respectful boundaries, without feeling the guilt of not pleasing others
build a strong personal brand and earn more money
feel comfortable in my own skin as an introvert and HSP
These are the same outcomes I now help my clients with - if you're ready to step into your own quiet confidence, letās talk.
Moving on from a full-time job to building my coaching practiceā¦
I went to a ten-day silent meditation course. It forced me to zoom out and notice what needed attention in my life. After a few days, I started noticing that I was craving meaningful conversations and feeling an aversion to the corporate/tech ānonsense.ā
That course showed me the power of slowing down and deep self-reflection - something I now help my clients cultivate to build authentic confidence.
After the silent meditation ended, I thought that realising my vision would mean becoming a therapist. But hey, I didnāt want to focus on peopleās past. Donāt get me wrong, Iāve been to therapy myself, and I got wonderful results. However, Iām a dynamic, driven and highly strategic person who wants to look forward rather than back, and I felt there must be a career path that aligns with that.
Thatās when I came across coaching and decided to hire my own coach to address not only the career-related dilemmas but also the bigger questions about my relationship with work and my purpose.
I kid you not, working with a coach was life-changing.
And right then, I knew I wanted to be doing the same for other people.
I signed up for ICF-accredited training and earned my diploma in transformative coaching. Later, I received the Senior Practitioner Level Award from the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and ACC from the International Coaching Federation. All of this while gaining experience and coaching real-life clients on confidence, self-leadership, and boundaries.
I left my full-time job as the head of marketing to devote all of my energy to building my coaching practice.
Iām proud to say that today Iām a Leadership & Confidence Coach specialising in supporting ambitious introverts, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), and neurodiverse professionals with work- and career-related challenges.
