I believe that the fabric of your work is the fabric of your life, and that it matters how we do what we do.
When I started as a manager, I really struggled to find my way. I didn’t have examples of how I wanted to show up for myself and others. Despite my best efforts, I wasn’t able to get a mentor early on to guide me towards a manager
I wanted to be.
Along the way, I’ve come to believe in the power of collaborative decision making. We need a whole village of helpers to thrive in our career journey. Despite prevalent narratives centering individualism, no one is ever “senior enough” to figure everything out alone.
Talking things through makes us all better at what we do. It’s just easier to figure things out together. Our best moves aren’t made in a vacuum – they are made when we can hear ourselves think and have our own visions reflected through someone else’s eyes.
Since 2021, I’ve supported over 80 1:1 clients, including managers, new directors, and senior individual contributors. The majority of my clients have been in tech and design, as these are the individuals I’ve met most often on my journey. I’ve also facilitated collaborative decision making within group coaching sessions during the Hatch Conference and per the request of a few leading Berlin startups.
Continuous learning is important for me, and while I’m not doing it for the credentials and badges, I’ve made sure to be well-prepared for my work with others. I’m accredited by EMCC at a Senior Practitioner level, and I hold a Level 2 ICF-accredited diploma in Transformative Coaching at Animas Centre for Coaching. I now use this as part of my multilayered approach.
Before going full-time with my coaching practice, I was a Design Manager. With 10 years of experience in Digital Product Design and Leadership roles, I’ve built a proven track record of scaling design teams across Growth, Design Systems, and Commercial Platforms.
I have always silently denounced coaching as something I’d never need, or benefit from. But over the course of our 6 sessions, Piotr helped me regain calm composure & confidence with work, whilst helping me pull my head out of the sand and realise a bigger vision and how it can be achieved. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Our work together reminded me who I am, what I want and what I am worth. When you are on the path of self-discovery – through therapy, coaching, working with a guru or whatever – you feel like a “better person” (temporarily). But in this case, I feel more like me, and it’s amazing!
Throughout our sessions, he helped me recognize the power and uniqueness of my skill set. Through insightful exercises and thought-provoking questions, prompting deep reflection, we worked on defining my values, strengths, and passions. His warm, structured, and genuine approach, combined with his ability to illustrate concepts with beautiful imagery and examples, truly sets him apart. I am confident that the lessons I have learned from him will stay with me for a lifetime.
Let’s chat about where you have been and where you might like to go.
