Coach and Mentor
Agnieszka Kucza
My name is Agnieszka Kucza.
I am a certified coach. I am a mentor.
I work with people who feel dissatisfied with their current professional life.
They have lost motivation and purpose, they are stuck, they cannot find their way in a new role,
their values have changed or have lost their life balance.
I help them choose the best change scenario and enter a new stage of their professional life
in line with what is important to them, so that they regain motivation, feel happy and fulfilled.
For me, coaching and mentoring are authentic, non-judgmental relationships built in an atmosphere
of security and respect, based on openness and trust.
I started my adventure with coaching and mentoring in a corporation, where, as an experienced manager,
I worked with future managers, as part of programs preparing them for a new role in the company.
This is how my new passion emerged, focused on working with people and helping.
I have over 20 years of professional experience, including 16 years spent in a big international company.
Working in a large company gives you great opportunities for development, raising qualifications, promotions,
as well as a wide network of contacts. The portfolio of my successes and professional achievements is wide,
and my full professional profile can be found on LinkedIn.
The corporation is also a big challenge. Assertive people who can take care of themselves and set boundaries
will do much better in a culture focused on achieving goals quickly under time pressure and in the face of strong competition.
In such an environment, it is very easy to become addicted to work, lose your work-life balance, and eventually burn out. A lot depends on an individual approach to work, self-awareness, and self-development in order to reap benefits and feel satisfaction. I felt these challenges personally, and now I help others understand these mechanisms, be more effective, and restore balance and well-being.
I completed a coaching course at IBD Business School and obtained the Coaching Fundamentals Certificate,
and the Coach School at the Jagiellonian University obtaining the Erickson Solution Focused Coach Certificate.
The result of the certification was the start of work with an individual client.
Continuing my development path as a coach, I obtained the Erickson Certified Professional Coach certificate, which enabled me to be accredited by the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
For several years, I have been a mentor in the largest cross-business mentoring program of the Women Business Leaders Foundation. I also cooperate with the Krakow School of Business at the University of Economics, where, as a mentor, I support individual Executive MBA students.
The vast majority of my clients are employees of large companies, including people managers and project managers. I work with clients in the area of career coaching, managerial coaching, life coaching,
and mentoring.
In my work, I follow the ICF international code of ethics.
I work with my clients in the TGROW model and in the Erickson approach - solution-focused coaching.
In my practice, I combine extensive professional and private experience, extended by hours of training,
courses, internships, and personal development in the area of coaching, mentoring, leadership,
psychology, mindfulness, rational behavior therapy, and non-violent communication.
My extensive professional experience makes me open to cooperation with a business client.
Knowing perfectly the realities of operation of smaller and larger companies,
I know what their employees have to deal with on a daily basis.
Privately, I am a happy wife and a proud mother of an already grown-up valuable young man,
and family is one of the most important values in my life. However, I also value the space for myself -
for the development and realization of my passions. I love to learn, gain experience and read a lot.
I love yoga, which, thanks to regular practice, allows me to take care of my body, mind, and emotions.
Thanks to it, I relax and immerse myself in being here and now.
I also love walking in the woods, mountains, or by the sea - at any time of the year.
With the family, we pursue common passions, such as hiking in the mountains,
discovering new bicycle routes, winter skiing madness, and also traveling around Poland and the world.
My life motto is a quote from Albert Einstein:
"It's crazy to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results."

Coach and Mentor Agnieszka Kucza
Customer opinions
Ula, S2P Junior Process Manager
If I were to describe the process of cooperation with Agnieszka as a mentor and coach in three words, they would be: path, guide, perspective.
I turned to Agnieszka during a career change, needing a mentor and confidant. I was looking for an open person, with experience in a similar environment, the ability to listen and empathy. However, the path I went through with Agnieszka became much more interesting and more complete when, apart from my initial goal, I discovered new ones, revealed in the coaching process.
Thanks to Agnieszka's questions, I saw where I was and where I could be, which allowed me to see a new, more authentic perspective that was previously dusty and forgotten.
Agnieszka, as a guide, accompanied me in coming up with new ideas, clarifying what was important to me, and in creating a vision and a tangible plan. One of the "side effects" was an increase in my life energy, expansion of consciousness and better understanding of myself and recognition of the steps already taken.
I highly recommend cooperation with Agnieszka to anyone who feels that they have untapped potential, who needs to find new solutions and perspectives, and who is looking for a conversation with an experienced and open person.
Monika, Exclusive Mindset & Strategic Coach
Trade Compliance Expert
As part of the Executive MBA studies at KSB in Krakow, I had the opportunity to participate in a mentoring and coaching session. Among the available mentors, Agnieszka's BIO immediately caught my attention. Without hesitation, I was the first to sign up for the list.
One eMBA coaching session resulted in a multi-meeting mentor-coaching process. Thanks to Agnieszka's wide range of skills and tools, we were able to choose a method of cooperation tailored to my topic and personality. I really appreciate this flexibility.
Agnieszka accompanied me in reminding me of my dream and defining what to do to make it come true. Thanks to the meetings, I regained my wind in my sails and now I am proudly implementing the prepared plan.
Empathy, partnership, understanding, knowledge, openness, help, flexibility, presence, active listening, professionalism, good energy and a few more - these are other names for Agnieszka.
I feel extremely grateful for having met Agnieszka on my journey and for our cooperation.
I highly recommend meetings with Agnieszka.
Beata, P2P Manager
I came to Agnieszka with a massive sense of professional burnout and when I was looking for a new professional motivation by changing my job after a long time spent
in one place. When engagement challenges
seemed impossible to move into a new role,
Agnieszka with great patience and a precise approach to problems helped to deal with the difficulties step by step.
She is a very empathetic and understanding person who knows exactly what questions to ask to get to the bottom of the problem and help find the best solutions. Not without significance in our conversations was the fact that Agnieszka has experience in a similar area, so we could talk about very detailed specific situations and challenges without generalizing.
Agnieszka also helped me to look at the sense of life fulfillment and professional career from a much broader perspective
and opened my eyes to other possibilities that I had previously perceived in the category of only unfulfilled, too brave for me dreams.
After a series of our meetings, I feel a huge improvement in motivation, commitment, and sense of purpose.
I am very grateful and wholeheartedly
I recommend coaching with Agnieszka.

He is an empathetic person, able to listen, ask questions and strengthen the person he works with.
Caoching with Agnieszka helped me a lot. From the very beginning, Agnieszka aroused a great sense of trust in me, which made our sessions bring me great satisfaction.
Thanks to joint sessions, I feel that I am developing in various areas of my life and my way of thinking is changing.
The decision to start cooperation and the coaching process was one of the best in the last year. I am very happy that I met Agnieszka right now.
I highly recommend sessions conducted by Agnieszka as a coach.
Natalia, Senior Account Manager
I met Agnieszka at mentoring sessions for several months and thanks to these meetings I entered a higher level of consciousness. What's more - Agnieszka makes working on yourself much easier and accelerates at an unexpected pace.
I have achieved more in these few months than in the last several years.
After talking to her, I feel like I can change more and more to feel good about myself. I realized that I have a huge impact on these changes. More and more often, even in difficult private or professional situations, I have the impression that my possibilities are unlimited. Agnieszka teaches you how to use your potential and energy to achieve your goals. I talk to her, always analyze and set an action plan, then practice and draw conclusions - never before have these actions been as effective as now. Now every month I feel like I'm higher and closer...
Agnieszka impresses me with empathy, and kindness and inspires me to act, but she also draws inspiration from me. She always shared this - it's very important and gave me confidence.
Six months ago I was so overstimulated and frustrated that I couldn't even define what relaxes me... Now I have to try very hard to define what frustrates me...

Magdalena, Project Leader
I have been participating in coaching meetings with Agnieszka for several months. We discuss various topics that are important to me. I can certainly say that thanks to our sessions, my eyes were opened to some areas that I would not have thought of before. Agnieszka is able to listen and ask very accurate questions, thanks to which I start to understand where I am making mistakes.
Besides, our meetings are a nice escape from everyday duties for me. I am glad that I decided to go for coaching with Agnieszka and with a clear conscience, I can recommend her as a coach to anyone in need.
Paulina, QA and RA Manager
Very professional, full of empathy and understanding meetings,
which I wholeheartedly recommend.
Coaching sessions with Agnieszka guided me through several large and very significant changes in my private and professional life. They helped a lot in defining the goal and finding your golden mean.
Conversations with Agnieszka made me feel fully ready for what was coming, and most importantly - I knew that everything I do, I do in harmony with myself.
Agnieszka is an extremely open, warm, and understanding Coach, with whom I hope to work on the occasion of the next challenges on my way.
Aneta, Finance Manager
I started working with Agnieszka at a very difficult time in my life. Thanks to her, in a relatively short time I was able to regain my balance, better understand myself, my needs and desires.
Agnieszka has huge amounts of natural empathy, she is open and honest, which creates a very special atmosphere during the session and allows you to freely talk about the most difficult matters.
It supports, does not judge, inspires multidimensional thinking about oneself, needs and the definition of happiness. I wholeheartedly recommend coaching sessions with Agnieszka, they can work wonders.
Paulina, L&D Specialist
I met Agnieszka at work in one of Krakow's corporations. I had never thought about coaching/mentoring before, but Agnieszka suggested the conversation herself, for which I am very grateful to her.
We started cooperation as part of a mentoring program that Agnieszka herself initiated at work.
We had a few topics to go through, oscillating around building a further career. The questions asked by Agnieszka during the meetings helped me to get to know myself better, to understand my thought patterns, and to encourage deeper reflection. I had a great time working with Agnieszka and the time spent on conversations paid off later.
I highly recommend sessions with Agnieszka to anyone who feels "stuck", stands at the crossroads of further development, and does not know what to do next.
Anna, Digitalization Manager
I had the pleasure of meeting Agnieszka as part of the mentoring program.
The need for mentoring work resulted from the desire to develop and strengthen oneself as a manager and better prepare for changes. The mentoring period coincided with a quite turbulent professional moment, which forced me to change my approach and increase my work on my own self-awareness.
I felt that my meetings with Agnieszka somehow saved me. They made me stop and analyze the details.
Agnieszka has a very methodical approach and is easy to break down complex things into stages. Her tips on how to effectively organize the working day, how to approach job changes, and how to plan my professional career based on my previous experience will stay with me.
I am very grateful for this time and I recommend it to everyone in their careers and beyond.
Karolina, Senior Project Manager AI
I started working with Agnieszka at a time of great frustration in my professional life, when I was thinking about changing my job.
Due to the dynamics of this transition time, the goals of our cooperation, and therefore the topics of the sessions, also changed several times: from in-depth reflection on the situation at a given moment, through work on my values and career vision, to practical tips on project implementation, planning and time management.
Agnieszka has a lot of knowledge and a large arsenal of methods and exercises, thanks to which she was able to help me with each of these topics.
The biggest game changer for me is a clearer vision of what I want from my career, how this ideal career results from my interests and values, and how I can set myself realistic goals that help me develop in my dream direction. This strategic and more conscious approach to career planning is something I lacked before and what made me well prepared to start a new job.
Finally, I would like to add that Agnieszka is simply a very nice person who enjoys talking and who brings a lot of positive energy and warmth to every interaction.
