 “For the past year since August 2019, Kasia has been driving my growth. When I wanted to turn my organization into a valuable team, she gave me the insight on the meaning of value. And, when the plan didn't go as well as I thought, she showed me that it was natural and I could overcome the hurdle. Kasia is one of the best coach in my life and I will always remember her.” 

Kye Hyun Kyung: CEO @ Samsung Semiconductor, South Korea

 “Kasia is an amazing coach who has helped me achieve some amazing outcomes in a very short time. With her thoughtful guidance I have been able to make some large changes in my management style to deliver huge results for my business. I would strongly recommend Kasia for anyone who wants to grow their career and build high performing teams. Her life experience and style means that Kasia can adapt to anyone’s learning requirements. Thank you for your guidance over the past 12 months is has been amazing working with you.” 

Chris Fisher: APAC Director of Security Engineering @ APJ, Australia

 “Kasia's coaching was pivotal in uncovering the blind spots I had built up working in tech for over 2 decades. These insights have unlocked the next level of personal growth and productivity for me. For those of us who have been successful in our careers, we have some core behaviors that make us successful but we could all use some help in cultivating the awareness to detect the blockers. If you are serious about unlocking that next level of personal growth, Kasia is your answer.” 

PD Singh: Head of AI, Founder @ Stealth Company, USA

 Working with Kasia as my leadership coach has been life-supporting during a crucial and challenging time in Pollen's zero to 1 journey. Kasia's approach is personal and tailored and is always just what I need at the time. Kasia has provided tools and resources including books and intros to other helpful connections within the same industry which have been applicable broadly as well as for specific issues and situations. Kasia has helped me to gain perspective, resilience and unleash my inner strength and creativity. I’d thoroughly recommend Kasia to anyone who is seeking to improve communications, team coaching and overall leadership skills both personally and professionally. 

Liyana Sulaiman: Co-Founder & CTO @ Pollen, Singapore

 Kasia has been a brilliant coach to work on different focus areas with me. Throughout her session she is an active listener and uses techniques to empower you and come with the solution. When I reflect back the sessions were engaging and insighful. I highly recommend her for leaders who are managing large teams and need guidance to be an effective communicator.” 

Shipra Singh: AWS Amazon, UK

 "I was coached by Kasia in the area of managing international teams in a matrix organization. It's a pleasure to work with Kasia as she has a lot of international experience and can reflect on topics you bring up. She has always great ideas how you can tackle things, look at it from different angles. She can support in all aspects of leadership and specifically in regards of intercultural aspects of an matrix organization. It's a pleasure to work with her.” 

Matthias Tanner: VP Technical Support Center at Burckhardt Compression, Switzerland

 “Kasia has wide working experiences abroad not only in Western countries but also Asian countries. She understands Asian culture and way of thinking very so it is easy for her to understand my challenges. I feel it is easy to talk to her even about things that I cannot ask my boss. I was good at mentoring in the past but didn’t know how to coach people well. However after I have a several coaching sessions with Kasia, I feel encouraged to coach my team better than before. I am sure that many people feel the same impression as me. Good luck and enjoy your coaching journey with Kasia!” 

Gen Takamatsu: Business Development Manager, Cargill, Japan

 “Kasia helped me move forward with a big personal decision I’d been putting off for a while, get clear on personal values and gain a few coaching skills of my own that I put to use right away at work and home. Kasia masterfully guided each coaching session through practical steps and to tangible outcomes that helped me feel a sense of progress and achievement. We worked remotely via video/ phone calls, which provided me the freedom and convenience I was looking for, and from the very first session Kasia created a strong connection and made me feel at ease. Above all, she’s a knowledgeable & resourceful coach that was able to move with me and my needs, from sensitive personal issues to career discussions - I’m really happy to recommend Kasia! 

Kelly Paulino: Associate Director, Virgin Mobile, Australia

 "I got introduced to Kasia as part of the leadership development coaching program at Cisco AppDynamics. And what a collaboration it has been since we connected! Kasia has the remarkable ability to ask exactly the right set of questions to elicit deep self-reflection. Through her unique coaching style, Kasia guided and enabled me to work through the answers on my own via a journey of self-awareness around goals, behaviors, actions and results. Her subtle and focused coaching has significantly helped me in identifying and further working upon my strengths, reducing my blind-spots, and in general becoming a more self-aware leader. Highly recommend Kasia for leadership development programs at both startups as well as large organizations, as also individuals looking for a strong leadership coach. 

Vipin Sharma: Engineering Executive, Product Development, India

 "Kasia is one of the best coaches I have worked with. Great listener , strategic thinker and really prepares on how she can unlock value in the coaching arena. One of the aspects I also really appreciated is Kasia's extensive Global experience across many tiers of leadership and multiple industries. Highly recommend. 

Rob Ironmonger: Digital Transformation / Sales / Technology Executive, Australia

 I selected Kasia as my leadership coach during the Xcellerate program at Symantec for potential executive leadership. What influenced my decision was her extensive experience of working with leaders from various organisations across the globe, spanning various industries, and her having played key leadership roles herself. During the course of my 9+ months being coached by Kasia, what proved valuable is her ability to listen patiently, to be able to read between the the lines and her uncanny understanding of the gamut of challenges that a leadership role presents. She adapts very well to one's personality and nudges one to unearth the issues and develop an insight to oneself. She zeros in to the crux of a discussion and eased me to my blind spots and surface areas of discomfort. She doesn't hesitate to challenge ideas and beliefs, not necessarily to change, but to explore different perspectives develop and develop an understanding my value and belief systems. She assisted me to make decisions that helped me stay true to my values. It is a great asset to have a personal coach as a sounding board, as a guide and a philosopher, who is with you and for you! Thank you, Kasia! 

Rama Voruganti: Engineering Executive, Google, India

 Kasia has been very passionate and also a great listener at the same time. She is very skillful in helping me rearrange my priority at work and also my thoughts about personal development. I feel safe to be very open to her with my challenges and she had been able to help me to look at things from different lenses and this helped me to put many actions items into a list and execute it one by one. Coaching sessions with her helped me realized more how important it is to have a coach in life and also how many blind spots one person can have. It has been a pleasure to be able to have Kasia as my coach. Thank you, Kasia for your guidance and great coaching sessions." 

Peter Voon: Head of Sales and Business Development - APAC, Apple, LinkedIn & Salesforce

 "Kasia is a brilliant coach and I really benefited from our time and journey together. She has this ability to peel through the layers and pinpoint the real issue or challenge holding me back at the moment and was able to coach me around ways to navigate around the situation. I enjoyed the partnership between conversations and practical approach to reframe my perspective and approach to the issue at hand. She also suggested practical readings between our sessions and always relate back to actions that I can commit. I personally observed a few epiphanies in our sessions and really benefited that she took a holistic approach to my 'life potential' and not just my work aspects." 

Claire Tan: Head of Marketing, Coronary, Australia & New Zealand at Abbott Vascular, Australia

 Impact. Thinking about my my coaching experience with Kasia that is the one word that comes to mind immediately. And I think of that word in two aspects. #1 Our conversation (and her followup afterwards) that thoughtfully moved my thinking forward and moved me to see things in my own leadership that I really hadn't thought of before, which lead me to... #2 Realizing my own impact - I now feel a purposeful responsibility to 'shine my light' outward to places I didn't dream of going before. If you are looking to get outside your comfort zone and want to find a coach that will s-t-r-e-t-c-h and move your thinking; highly recommend working with Kasia! 

Meghan Young: Executive Development Leader, USAA

 Kasia is an amazing coach that helps to unlock the reasoning behind your responses, reactions, and actions. Not only did she help me in understanding the whys behind challenges in my life but she also helped to overcome built up resentment and stress that had lingered for years without my knowledge. She has a friendly and calm demeanor, which makes her very easy to talk to, while offering a sincere interest in your personal growth. She challenged me to do internal research between each call and prioritize specific topics that would support the outcome that was best for me, although that fluctuated from time to time with new stresses that presented. She had a strong handle to keeping me on track and looked past the surface explanations for route causes, which I appreciate. Often in life we become overwhelmed in our own minds and build walls around things we can not focus on in any given moment due to other pressing priorities. When those overwhelming moments become distant but are still not actioned the wall does not come down and we must work harder to discard items we can not action, building a higher and higher wall. Kasia helped me put in a door, a couple windows, and start some construction to lower the wall. Thank you for your time and dedication to my future clarity and leadership. The changes to my life, happiness I found, and understanding I now have in myself would have taken many years for me to uncover, if ever, without your support. 

Crystal Abbott: Regional Manager, Goeasy Financial

 "Kasia was a fantastic coach. She helped me focus on what was most fulfilling in my professional and personal life. She also provided me with great coaching techniques and approaches, to enable everyone on my team to achieve their full potential. I highly recommend working with Kasia! 

Eric Wazorko: AWS Amazon, USA

 “If you are looking for someone to come along side you and help you see through another “lens”, then Kasia has those leadership coaching capabilities that will support your needs. She has been wonderful to work with and has been very flexible in scheduling during this interesting year (2020). I can not thank her enough for your partnership and guidance.”
