I've been inside the machine.

Hi, I'm Alicja. Transformation & Burnout Coach · ICF-Certified (ACC)

I'm a Transformation and Burnout Coach, and I'm ICF-certified at ACC level. I work with people who are still performing on the outside but can feel something being drained on the inside. What I bring is a mix of coaching training, lived experience, and years spent inside complex organisations.

My story

I started out studying anthropology and sociology, which taught me to notice the invisible rules people live by at work. Later, leading international teams and projects, I saw how often those rules get mistaken for reality: as if "this is how we do things here" means "this is the only way this can work."

In 2020, I burned out hard enough to step away from my career for nine months. For a long time, I treated that as a personal failure. Eventually I understood something else: burnout had far more to do with the conditions I was working in, and the relationship I had to them, than with some flaw in my character. That shift is at the centre of how I work now.

My mission

I built this practice on a simple conviction: the modern world of work needs a more sustainable way of operating. I offer practical tools and support that let you make real change in small steps, toward more fulfilment and less noise in your head. My job is to help you make real changes in small, usable steps, so you can keep your ambition without disappearing inside it.
