“I had the privilege of working with Patrycja during an important phase of my development as a minority female professional in a Brussels-based NGO. From the outset, she created a safe and respectful space in which I felt genuinely heard and supported. Her strength lies in her ability to listen deeply and ask thoughtful, empowering questions. Through our work together, I was encouraged to reflect, set clearer boundaries, and begin speaking up for myself—particularly when facing unfair or discriminatory behaviour in the workplace. She consistently provided guidance and encouragement while allowing me to progress at my own pace. As a result, I have made noticeable improvements in how I show up at work. I am transitioning from being primarily recognised for my technical expertise to developing a stronger leadership presence. While I am still on the path to effectively advocating for myself, I have gained greater awareness, confidence, and grounding, and I am increasingly able to express my perspective and stand my ground in challenging situations. This coaching experience has been an important step in my ongoing growth, both professionally and personally. I would recommend this coach to minority women in middle management who are navigating complex environments and seeking to strengthen their voice, resilience, and sense of agency over time.”
