Iwona is a wonderful woman who understands business like no other and is also a great coach and mentor. She helped me through several difficult moments in my career when I was tired and saw no way out. She is great to work with and I recommend her wholeheartedly!
Career coaching with Iwona helped me realize my strengths, discover my preferred work style and direct me to future areas of development. Thanks to our work, I stopped fighting against features that I considered less "respected" in my work environment, and started using them as tools – and this helped me both increase work efficiency and reduce stress. Thanks to crystallizing my preferred career path, I began to actively look for development opportunities in topics that interest me. Iwona is an engaged person, a great listener and is able to ask the right questions that lead to the desired conclusions. Her experience in HR and business coaching was very helpful at various stages of our cooperation.
Iwona embodies all the traits that I seek in a mentor. She is an attentive, consistent and wise coach who creates a safe space while establishing relationships with others in a subtle, yet effective way. Her years of experience, balanced perspective, and individualized approach to each person, makes the coaching process highly authentic from the beginning to the end, opening the mind, and sometimes touching and leading to moments of enlightenment. Collaborating with Iwona has led me to the best professional position I have ever been and I have a lot of inner confidence that I will always find my path in the meanders of my career.
“Strengthen and bet on your strengths” is an old and … true statement. These and similar golden thoughts from textbooks could wallpaper more than one room. But the real challenge is how to find your own path from this noise, when each of us is different and has a unique experience? How to act effectively on the one hand, but with positive energy and in line with our inner values. Especially in situations where we are responsible not only for ourselves, but for teams, the smaller and the larger ones, the self-awareness of the leader can be a key differentiating factor. In this context, Executive coaching and Gallup Strengths Finder coaching with Iwona not only results in a better understanding and acceptance (or rejection) of the roles that we have to play in various areas of our lives, but above all it is an interesting discovery process in itself. I heartily recommend to anyone who has to face a demanding new role in the organization, the so-called professional burnout or a sense of imbalance in private and professional life.
Coaching with Iwona helped me be happier in my professional life. Thanks to it, I am more aware of my strengths, what pushes me forward at work and I can use it all better. Coaching also helped me understand what is holding me back and taking away my energy at work. It gave me the basis for a more harmonious and conscious management of my career. I heartily recommend!
Iwona’s passion, commitment and professionalism are a mixture of magical effects. Iwona makes sure that you understand the problem you want to solve (contrary to appearances, it is not so obvious), but she does not go further and does not solve it for you. I always looked forward to the next sessions with curiosity.
Iwona is a great coach, she challenges as much as possible, helps to “unpack” complex topics. In addition, during the coaching sessions with Iwona, I always felt a lot of warmth and understanding, which was very helpful for me in my personal development.
Working with Iwona was one of the catalysts for my overall development. Gallup StrengthsFinder individual coaching has helped me go through a variety of changes consciously including changing my career path. I have learned to flexibly combine my strengths with the situation I am in and to convert my talents into specific actions. Instead of resisting my strengths, I am now trying to use their potential. My level of awareness and courage in taking actions have increased, which lead me to make a decision in accordance with me. I also appreciated my own talents, including communication talent at work and without looking at its dark side. I now know that, for example, telling jokes at business meetings has its invaluable value 🙂 I recommend individual Gallup StrengthsFinder coaching to anyone who is looking for a fuller understanding of their strengths and using them in practice.
Coaching with Iwona was a great opportunity to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses. In our cooperation, I appreciate that Iwona was supportive and at the same time unobtrusive. At the same time, we tried to end our meetings with the preparation of a plan that would help me put the conclusions into practice. If you are looking for someone who will mobilize you to work, but at the same time will not trouble you, you’ve come to the right place.
I had the pleasure to meet Iwona at a time when I was not quite satisfied with my career and wanted a change. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me. With her help and encouragement, I learned to showcase and make the most of my strengths and talents. I wish more young people could get Iwona’s wise guidance at the dawn of their career, as it would certainly make the world a better place.
“Gallup StrenghtsFinder Individual Coaching” in which I participated was an important stage in my professional and private development. This process opened my eyes to what my strongest points are and made me realize that what matters is not what I miss, but what I have and that it is completely sufficient. Iwona is a great coach, professionally approaching the session. She could approach my needs in an individual way. I recommend Iwona and the coaching she offers.
I had the pleasure of working with Iwona in a several-month coaching program based on Gallup’s strengths. We started our work by defining the purpose of the meetings, performing the CliftonStrengths test and discussing the results together. In the weeks that followed, we looked at my talents from different angles through a series of questions, exercises and assignments. The sessions were conducted in a very practical way, which allowed me to combine the newly acquired knowledge with everyday professional situations. The atmosphere of acceptance and trust during the session was also extremely important, as it allowed me to open up and get to the bottom of my challenges. Thanks to working with Iwona, I better understand my talents and I know how to use them every day to effectively achieve my goals.
I had the great pleasure of working with Iwona in a long-term coaching process. It wasn’t a constant process. Iwona supported us at various stages of the company’s development and during subsequent crises related to the expansion of the company. In each phase of our process, Iwona used different work methods and adapted them to our current needs, which at times were very diverse. Her comprehensive knowledge and extensive professional experience made us come back to her with new challenges. When I needed support with burnout and transforming my career, I also used Iwona’s services. I fully recommend cooperation with Iwona, both in business and in creating/changing your professional career path. A wonderful person, a great specialist.
In Iwona’s individual approach, I found a Coach with very good preparation for her role. During the session, Iwona has a lot of professional experience in business. The tools selected by Iwona and the adapted work style helped me identify my talents and translate them into benefits. I didn't expect to achieve so much and learn so much about myself during our few meetings. In addition, the atmosphere that Iwona creates while working together motivates you and makes you want more…
Coaching sessions with Iwona allowed me to better understand the mechanisms of my actions, my resources and weaknesses and, above all, how I can use them and work with them on a daily basis. During our sessions, I experienced open atmosphere of, respect, safety, honesty and kindness. I really appreciate the individualized, flexible approach – thanks to this, I felt that each session was focused on my needs. Even if it meant some deviations from the established action plan. I highly recommend the sessions to anyone who is curious and ready to discover themselves and their true self, as well as to anyone who is looking for their place – professionally and privately.
Thanks to coaching, I organized my achievements and saw my professional path in full light. I realized my value and I saw competence. Coaching helped me survive the difficult time of changing jobs, it mobilized me to summarize and set new goals. I started again believing in myself. I recommend coaching sessions with Iwona to anyone who is getting ready to change jobs after being in one place after a long professional activity. Iwona Andrews shows in an empathetic and substantive way that everything that is good is still ahead of us. Thank you!
