I found out why my Company doesn’t motivate me and after just a couple of sessions, I’m more motivated [to work].
Which, surprisingly, came from simple structuring of my work life.

I feel cured! I think I finally found a balance [in life]. Everything was in my head. Now I’m tired differently, before I was tired more mentally than physically.
A life saver tip Dorota shared with me: Exercise things that I’ll be doing in the future. I will apply this (from now on) everywhere!

Dorota has been crucial in helping me be my best self. In particular, she is knowledgeable about our brain/mental pathways, and she provides clear action items to reframe thinking, in order to overcome certain behaviors/habits I’ve carried for many years. She is able to summarize the challenges I’m facing, and provide guidance on what to do to achieve my goals in being able to be a high performer while protecting my mental and physical health.
Dorota provides action items to work on, which are very helpful to change old habits into better ones. Dorota also receives information on what is happening well and synthesizes what is going on, then is able to tailor her questions/recommendations based on what I’m looking to achieve in my overall professional life.
Dorota is an empowering person – she is unapologetic and encouraging in how to approach work life in order to best achieve the change I’m looking for in my career. She is also able to identify the negative paths/cycles that have been ongoing for many years, and asks the right questions to think about the big picture. It might be scary at first to think about changing habits or perspectives I’ve carried for many years, but when I’m thinking about my long-term health/big picture, it makes a lot of sense that I have to change in order to become more self-aware. It is also important for me to be able to keep being a high performer/keep my goals in mind. She considers what I want when she provides coaching. She’s able to provide guidance so that my work is not compromised, yet my mental and mindset around what is happening is changing, which unlocks the potential for me to be happier and healthier, and better balanced when I approach work. To me, it is also important to have a coach who empathizes. Dorota has been there, and has experienced what I’ve been through.

I was surprised how our session was not all about actions, but about feelings.I didn’t expect that.
Magda
Senior Manager
At the beginning [of the program] I wasn’t in a good place for this. But I like the way Dorota challenged me about my insecurity.
I’m putting rigour in myself now. I got some good materials from Dorota, helpful for me to work on my own now.
Francisco
Principal, Tech Sector
Working with you [Dorota] as my coach was a truly valuable experience. I felt supported, understood, and challenged in all the right ways. The sessions helped me reconnect with myself and build the confidence I had been missing. It was a safe space to reflect, grow, and make meaningful changes in my life.
One of the biggest takeaways was learning to recognize and prioritize my own value. I’ve started to put myself first —setting boundaries, managing stress better, and focusing more on what truly matters to me. Your guidance helped me shift my mindset from being overly work-focused to living a more balanced and fulfilling life. The tools and reflections we worked on were incredibly helpful.
A specific example that stands out is how I now handle work-related stress. I used to let it consume my time and energy, but since our sessions, I’ve learned to step back, breathe, and make conscious decisions about how I spend my time. I’m no longer driven by guilt or pressure but by intention. It’s made a noticeable difference in my day-to-day peace and productivity. I’ve also reached a point where I’m able to do both—work effectively and still manage my stress and personal life in a healthy way. I no longer feel like I have to sacrifice one for the other. This balance has been one of the most empowering changes for me.

That was great. Thank you so much, Dorota. That was really, really, really good. You didn’t provide solutions but your questions were of high quality and the flow of it was really good…(…) You also left me some room to think, instead of just asking the next question. So you were like, “Come on, maybe there’s something else in there.” And I was like, “Let me think.“

Head of Growth, Tech sector
(…)[Dorota] helped me remind myself who I am and where I’m heading. Through insightful exercises, dedicated self-work, and great support from Dorota, I was able to define my values and align my goals accordingly. Although I always had big plans, I failed to execute. Sounds familiar? It turns out it’s not you. You just don’t know HOW to plan. And it changed. Now I’m more excited than scared and I get things done!
I highly recommend the program to anyone committed to personal growth. With Dorota’s guidance, who walked a similar path and is eager to share her tips and strategies, you’ll be well-equipped to transform your life for the better.
