Ewa is a Management & Performance coach with 12 years of cross-cultural European experience in learning and development in the UK and Polish markets. As well as holding management roles, she has worked as a trainer, mentor and facilitator to help individuals and teams to develop. In addition to coaching, her main area of interest and expertise is leadership and management development at both a strategic and operational level. She has a proven record of designing, implementing and evaluating leadership and management programmes successfully at all levels.

Ewa’s niche is cross cultural coaching and team development which she continues to grow, building on her experience of managing and collaborating with a diversity of people outside her indigenous culture. As a facilitator and coach she offers a unique insight into leadership matters related to working with and managing people from different cultures.

Her portfolio offers: Design and delivery of core management skills workshops; cross cultural coaching and team development; implementation of mentoring programmes (International Associate & Licensed Trainer with Clutterbuck Associates); learning and development initiatives including: strategy and policy development, change management; and 360 degree feedback.

Her specialist area of coaching is talent through to middle management & director level. She is results focused, committed to developing her client’s measurable, achievable deliverables via honest and straightforward communication. She is creative, pragmatic and starts from where individuals ‘are’. This always includes explicit respect for the client’s existing expertise, recognition of individuality and challenging those current beliefs that may limit development. Ewa’s approach is informed by Gestalt Holistic Inquiry. This means that she focuses on raising individual awareness of the experiential levels of reality. Ewa uses a mixture of development approaches drawn from areas such as, TA (Transactional Analysis), Appreciative Inquiry, Systemic Perspective; however, she is not bound by any convention and considers every assignment as unique.

Prior to becoming an independent People Development Consultant, she worked in tourism as a commercial consultant and upon moving to UK she project managed high value cruise products for a specialist tour operator. In early 2000 she decided to move into the area of learning and development & progressed to become Head of L&D at a major NHS Acute Trust.
