Leadership can be lonesome. It doesn’t have to be.

Lead with Confidence

There are times when being a leader feels more like being a lone wolf. You feel isolated in your perspective. You may even feel like you’re the only one looking out for your organization.  

You know you have the knowledge, experience, and expertise your company needs, but dealing with your people, leading them, and helping them lead can be the most challenging part of your job. One you could really use support on. When you find yourself stuck with navigating delicate personnel situations and conversations with confidence and poise, you need a partner.

About Kasia

A truth-teller at heart, I believe in the power of dynamic, strong teams with members who grow together to create successful organizations – organizations that are the foundation of thriving communities and opportunities. As a business-focused strategic leader with an expansive human resources toolbox, I have deep experience with assessing business and people's needs and taking action—especially the hardest actions.

Building Strong Teams

Working in small, midsized, and Fortune 500 companies, I know first-hand how big an impact your employee investment can have on your business outcomes. If you are struggling with the people you lead, often the most complex part of leadership, I can help bring clarity and confidence to your decisions.  

Counseling Leaders

In my 20+ years of experience as a trusted partner and confidant of company leaders, I have learned that leadership can feel isolated and lonely. Even the best leaders can get stuck because they don't have people they can confide in to make decisions that move the organization forward. I offer expertise in navigating delicate and tough decisions that surround your team and will amplify your business.

Education

  • Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), Cornell University

In-person and remote options available.
