Karolina - Director of Founder Institute Poland & Founder of Nieobce
āWorking with Karolina as my coach has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Karolinaās background and expertise in the tech industry made an immediate difference. Instead of starting from square one, I felt like I was having conversations with someone who was already a few steps ahead, which allowed us to make real progress in every session. Her insights were grounded in real-world knowledge, and this perspective allowed us to focus on strategies and solutions that felt directly relevant and actionable.ā

She has a rare talent for helping you see your own strengths more clearly, and for guiding you toward action in a way that feels both empowering and sustainable.

Huda - Senior People Leader
āBefore I started coaching, I was at a stage in my career where I needed to elevate my confidence and step into a more strategic leadership role. I had the experience and capability, but I struggled to fully own my voice and presence in high-stakes situations. My biggest challenge was shifting my mindset from being a strong contributor to becoming a confident, strategic leader. Through our coaching sessions, I gained so much clarity - not just about my role, but about myself. I now approach leadership with more confidence, speak with purpose, and lead my team with a clear strategic direction.ā

Anonymous - Vice President, CFO Office
āBeing a female in a male dominated industry I didn't fully trust in my own power and ability to perform. I have a different way of leading and used to compare myself a lot to my male colleagues and since my style is different I always thought of it as worse. With our coaching sessions I unlocked my inner ability and confidence to do things my way with great success.ā

Christopher - Legal Director
āKarolina is a wonderful coach, destined to become a leading figure in her field. The coaching experience was useful and insightful. Karolina created a space for growth and positive challenge, while offering invaluable support throughout. This enabled me to achieve the goals which formed the basis of the sessions, and also to take new ways of thinking into other areas of my life. Incredible value for money. I cannot recommend Karolina highly enough.ā

Magda - Senior Director in banking
āI've decided for coaching on the cross-road of my career - leaving an unhealthy working environment without any new opportunity secured yet. My plan was to work towards finding a new job by ticking off more and more tasks from a TO-DO-LIST. Coaching with Karolina helped me realize how important it is to let myself first to rest and reset before jumping into a new role. My body was craving piece and quiet and I had a tendency to ignore it. Sessions also helped me to define what I want from my future job - what are my non-negotiables to bring me professional satisfaction. I can wholeheartedly recommend Karolina to help you see what is the best for you in this particular point of time.ā

Emilia - Senior Content Developer
āWorking with Karolina as my coach has been a turning point I didn't know was possible. Karolina has a rare gift: she truly understands how introverts experience corporate life. Her approach is calm, thoughtful, deeply empathetic, and refreshingly practical. Instead of pushing generic productivity tips or one-size-fits-all advice, she helps you tap into your own strengths - often the ones you didn't even realise you had. Thanks to coaching sessions with Karolina, I'm able to look after myself better as an employee of a large corporation and enjoy what I'm good at - my daily work on content - even more.ā

Anonymous - Head of Marketing in RegTech
āBefore coaching, I lacked confidence and leadership skills, especially when dealing with senior colleagues. I found myself caught in patterns of overthinking and worried about being overlooked due to my quiet personality. Coaching gave me actionable insights for personal and professional growth. Now I lead with confidence and clarity. I highly recommend coaching for introverts. Karolinaās personalized approach works with your natural style rather than against it, without trying to change who you are. You gain self-awareness and confidence, skills that go beyond corporate world and transform you in all areas of your life.ā

Izabela - Director and Learning Studio Lead
āWhen I took on a leadership role for the first time, I often questioned myself and felt pressure to meet everyoneās expectations. Learning how to manage colleagues who used to be my peers was a big shift, but the coaching process helped me grow in confidence and self-awareness. Through our sessions, Iāve learned to trust myself more, focus on what truly matters, and lead without compromising my values or personality. Iāve also become better at prioritizing, delegating, asking for help, and finding a healthy balance between work and rest - which used to be a real challenge for me! Coaching encouraged me to reflect deeply on my working and leadership style, my strengths, and areas for growth. Iāve analyzed, reflected, and discussed all of it with my coach, and now I feel equipped with the tools to continue developing myself as a leader.ā

Nitya - Growth Marketing Manager
āKarolina created a safe, non-judgemental space for me to open up about certain challenges. She asked insightful questions that made me reflect and think about situations in a different light. We did a walk-and-talk by the Thames. Walking outside on a sunny day by the water for an hour made the session with Karolina that much more valuable. I left our conversation feeling positive and energetic. I highly recommend her as a coach.ā

Abigail - Content Marketing Manager
āWhen I started coaching with Karolina, I had just started a new job and wanted to make a great first impression. As an introvert, I was drawn to Karolinaās āquietly confidentā approach, hoping to balance working hard with being kinder to myself. Working with Karolina was transformative. In my first five months at the new job, I not only built confidence but did so authentically. Before coaching, the thought of starting a new job was daunting. Now, I feel empowered, confident, and clear about my values and how to stay true to myself at work.ā

Theresa - Retail Performance Specialist
āBeing an introvert and very early in my career, gaining visibility was a challenge for me. I was putting a lot of effort into my work, but I received feedback that I was too quiet and not visible enough, and I didnāt really know how to change that. Starting coaching was one of the best decisions I made. For the first time, I felt that it was genuinely okay to be an introvert. Coaching helped me build confidence and navigate challenges at work in a way that felt natural and authentic to me. Karolina has been a great support throughout this journey, helping me gain confidence, work towards my goals, and grow professionally.ā

Elijah - Senior Product Manager
āWhen I started working with Karolina, I was enjoying the lows of overwhelm, isolation, and anxiety caused by immigration. With no one but my girlfriend whoād suffered from the same problems, I felt like I had to fight too many problems all by myself. I didnāt expect to completely change my life or reboot everything in four months we worked. However, in a sense, that had happened. I now enjoy almost every day of my life, go out a few times a week, have started a new hobby, and enjoy progress in my work. Whatās most important, this progress is carrying on.ā

Chun-Yu - Data Analyst
āKarolina helped me to see the real reasons behind the problems I thought and to find the direction towards my career goals. Before the coaching session, I struggled with preparing for job interviews and lacked confidence in how to effectively showcase my strengths. During the process, we spent time together working on my personal impression. Through this process, I was able to understand what qualities I was showing to others, compare the gap between āhow I wanted to be seenā and āhow others actually saw me,ā and figure out ways to adjust those impressions. As an introvert, I found it really comfortable to share my deep thoughts with Karolina. If youāre facing any problems, even small ones, or feeling uncertain about your career, I highly recommend having a chat with her!ā

Lucy - Content Marketing Manager
āKarolina is a warm & open person who makes you feel at ease straight away. No problem feels too big or too small to discuss and she has an excellent way of guiding you through thought processes. As a Highly Sensitive Person it was important for me to work with someone who understood the way I work and interact with others - Karolina has helped me honour myself in my ways of working.ā

Aleksandra - Anonymous
āI was struggling to believe in myself. Every failure felt like proof that I just wasnāt good enough, and I carried that weight around. As an overthinker, thatās not easy - but now I catch myself and shift my energy toward something constructive. I feel lighter, more in control, and kinder to myself. At first, I wasnāt sure if talking to someone would help - I worried Iād be judged or that my problems were too small. But once I started, I realized coaching is a safe space. Youāre not there to judge me, youāre there to help me move forward, and that made all the difference. My biggest moment was realizing that my failures donāt define my worth. Before coaching, I was stuck in a loop of overthinking and self-blame. Now, I feel more grounded.ā

Rita - Product Manager
āKarolina is an amazing coach. She is always available to talk, and help you through decisions, and thoughts. Before getting sessions with Karolina I was feeling a bit lost about my career, the next steps, and feeling frustrated and stuck about the future of my career and professional life. Now after our sessions, I have more clarity about where I want my career to go, and the steps to take.ā

āWorking with Karolina was a transformative experience during a pivotal point in my career. Starting a new job and integrating into a new team dynamic came with a lot of uncertainty and self-doubt. Through our coaching sessions, I was not only able to voice my concerns but also begin to see them from new perspectives. One of the biggest takeaways was learning how to prioritise effectively. Karolina helped me focus on what truly mattered and to take things step by step. I would highly recommend Karolinaās coaching to anyone at any stage of their career. Her approach is insightful, encouraging, and truly impactful.ā

Joost - Customer Marketing Manager EMEA
āWhen I started the coaching program with Karolina, I had already been struggling for quite some time with recurring challenges at work related to fluctuating motivation and fulfillment, and difficulty maintaining structure and overview. It soon became clear - after just a few sessions - that the issues I was experiencing extended beyond my work life. If I compare my life before starting this coaching journey with how it is now, there are major differences in how I view my previous challenges and my belief in my ability to handle them. One of the most valuable lessons Iām taking away from this process is that anything you keep bottled up in your own head becomes unnecessarily bigger and heavier than it needs to be; and that seemingly small adjustments - or changes in perspective - can make an enormous difference in how you feel and act in everyday life.ā

Leonie - Training Advisor in EdTech
āI sought out coaching following my later-in-life diagnosis of ADHD and Autism. This had led me to a confidence crisis, exacerbating issues both at work and in my personal life. Coaching with Karolina has changed my life, and that is no exaggeration. As somebody who is already very self-analytical, I went into coaching thinking there wouldn't be many "aha!" moments. I was, very gladly, wrong. I can see in myself a huge change in mindset, a new-found confidence, and I have tackled issues that seemed completely unachievable before our sessions. Coaching hasn't "cured" those symptoms that follow alongside ADHD and Autism, but it has absolutely equipped me with the tools to combat the worst of them.ā

Ross - Full Stack Engineer
āI reached out to Karolina for her coaching services to help me find more fulfillment in my life and as her focus is on highly sensitive people, this seemed to be appropriate. I was fortunate to experience her outdoor coaching format which, as a lover of nature, fit perfectly for me and provided a better outlet for me to express difficult topics whilst operating in a calmer and engaging environment. Throughout the process, Karolina assigned different tasks to really hone in what we discussed and put it into practice. One key task was to be kinder to myself and give myself permission to not be āproductiveā. This wouldnāt have been possible without Karolinaās specific focus on highly sensitive people and having been diagnosed with ASD, this was taken into account and I always felt heard during our sessions.ā

Maria - Anonymous
āBefore coaching, I was struggling with low self-confidence, largely due to a toxic micromanagement culture at work. I constantly second-guessed myself and lived in a state of emotional survival - just trying to keep everything together without falling apart. Through working with Karolina, Iāve developed a strong sense of self-confidence and emotional resilience. I now have the internal stability to manage stress without letting it consume me. Iāve learned how to protect my mental health, set boundaries, and stay centered amidst chaos. My biggest āahaā moment was realizing that I donāt have to fix the toxic environment - I just have to stop letting it define me. That shift changed everything. Now, life still has its challenges, but I feel equipped. Iām more grounded, more in control, and more capable of navigating whatever comes next.ā

Oliwia - Anonymous
āWhen I first started my sessions with Karolina, I didnāt even know whether coaching was for me. I was very unsure of myself - professionally and personally. I was struggling at work, keeping everything that happened during working hours circulating in my head, finding it difficult to keep a healthy work-life balance. First of all, Karolina helped me to calm down. With Karolinaās help, I started looking at the bright sides of my life and career choices. I stopped worrying about the atmosphere at my current workplace and started prioritizing myself, finishing my studies, and developing my skills. I even found the field I would like to specialize in! Sessions with Karolina were absolutely amazing, full of understanding, laughter, and genuine enjoyment. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone who is in the same place as I once was.ā

Gosia - Anonymous
āI decided to have coaching sessions with Karolina because I felt I wanted to change the direction of my career, but didnāt know where to start. I was burnt out professionally and demotivated in my life. By working together, I have gained confidence and clarity about the direction I want to take. I have learnt about my strengths and skills and feel motivated and energised to create and take action. You helped me realise that I donāt have to be 100% ready to make a difference, because itās a process and with small steps I can do a lot. I feel that something has been reborn in me, I know what to do and I have a lot of energy in me. I think coaching is a beautiful gift one can give oneself.ā

āThrough our sessions with Karolina, I gained not only practical tools to operate in work-related social settings but also got a deeper sense of confidence in myself.

āMy challenge before I started the [coaching] work was burnout. Through extensive sessions, homework and enlightening discussions I have knocked back burnout and am recovering.
Karolina has an excellent way of challenging perceptions and reframing tired, often trite advice in a way that sticks, makes sense and becomes actionable. I would recommend Karolina's coaching to people who are motivated to make a change that they don't quite have the tools to make on their own.

Sabina - Voice Coach
āI contacted Karolina because I felt stuck professionally. I wanted a change, but I didn't know what would be a good step and what to choose to move forward. At the same time, I was full of fears and doubts, which also made it difficult for me to do something different professionally than I had done before. Together with Karolina, we identified my fears and found a way to deal with them. I managed to define what I care about and what I want to do - in harmony with me, without unnecessary comparison and influence by the actions of others in my industry. I also clearly named my motivation for changes, which I also needed to start doing something new. I felt very comfortable with Karolina. The way she is and the way she talks helped me open up, which is not so obvious and easy if you are an introvert like myself :)ā

Tasha - Transformational Life Coach at Rose Quartz Coaching
āBefore I had coaching with Karolina, I had a lack of belief in myself and a lack of direction in life. I also had a full-time job that was sucking all my energy and was leaving me feeling drained and unsatisfied. I am so grateful I found Karolina as the coaching sessions that I had with her gave me the confidence to be more self-aware and understand who I am and what I want from life. Coaching sessions made me realise that I needed a job that suits my personality and gives me the flexibility to invest time in building a life coaching business as this is where I know I would find ultimate career fulfilment. The biggest āahaā moment was having the confirmation that I am a highly sensitive person and having the confidence to embrace and be proud of this. Lastly, having coaching with Karolina taught me the importance of self-belief and career fulfillment.ā

āKarolina is an exceptional coach. With her natural energy, empathy and intuition she can help navigate through just about any challenge ā from the simplest short-term goals to more complex, existential questions. She is a great multi-level listener and gives clients the space to think and explore topics at their own pace. She challenges in the right places & uses insightful questions to create new thinking - and always does this in a very positive, pressure-free way. I highly recommend Karolina as a coach for any challenge you are facing ā you can be sure you are in good hands and will move ahead with your goals.ā

Rosie - Freelance Writer
āI first reached out to Karolina because I felt stuck. The inconsistency of my freelance work was really getting to me, and the whole job-search process felt daunting, especially because of my social anxiety and being a HSP. Through our sessions, Karolina helped me gain confidence in myself and build practical strategies to tackle the job-search process. This ultimately helped me secure a more consistent freelancing role that suited my unique needs, which was a big win for me! One of the most impactful things I took away from my time with Karolina was how she helped me redefine failure and rejection. This shift in perspective really helped me break out of my paralysis and get the ball rolling. After coaching, I feel much more empowered to go after opportunities, even if thereās a good chance I might āfailā. I feel more confident in my abilities and have more self-compassion for my weaknesses and fears.ā
