COACH & MENTOR

Helping individuals, leaders and teams navigate what happens beneath the surface.

I am a coach, mentor and leadership development partner. My work combines extensive management experience, coaching practice and a therapeutic perspective. This blend allows me to support people in a way that takes into account both their current situation and the relationships, patterns and environment in which it unfolds.

I have been coaching since 2008. I began as an internal coach at GE Money Bank, alongside management roles in product management, marketing and retail banking. Leading large teams and being responsible for business results gave me first-hand experience with the everyday reality of a big organization: performance pressure, constant change, uncertainty, competing interests and situations where a solution that looked perfect on paper simply did not work between people.

Over time, I saw more clearly that leadership — and personal growth in general — is not just a set of skills. It is closely connected to how well we understand ourselves and how we relate to responsibility, uncertainty, power and relationships. It is also shaped by what happens beneath the surface of a team, a partnership or an organization, including things that may be difficult to name or discuss openly.

Since 2019, I have worked independently as a coach, mentor and facilitator. I support individuals, leaders and teams, and I design workshops and long-term development programmes for organizations. Completing a three-year psychotherapy training programme added further depth to my work. It helps me recognize when a practical next step is enough — and when the issue is connected to deeper patterns, relationships or personal experience.

I do not believe in one right method or universal answers. Sometimes the work is about clarifying a goal and taking a concrete step. At other times, it is more important to understand why someone repeatedly ends up in the same place. I therefore adapt the way I work to each client, their situation and what they need from our collaboration.

What matters to me is that our work feels safe, human and honest — and that it leads to new understanding and meaningful change, not just an interesting conversation.

I work with individuals, groups, leaders and teams in companies, schools and other organizations.

Slovak is my native language. I work with clients in English, Czech and Slovak, both in person and online.
