About Me
My name is Gosia, and my passion is coaching and helping people resolve conflict. For almost 10 years I have worked with people individually and in teams, helping them achieve their goals and discover the different paths that lead there.
Along the way, there was a moment when I noticed that conflict with others was the source of stress for many people. It narrows their perspective and creates frustration. So I started exploring the subject, and beginning with the idea of Nonviolent Communication, I eventually arrived at mediation.
I help people discover that a difference of opinion can be interesting, that it can be approached in different ways — not necessarily by fighting or avoiding confrontation. I explore and share mindfulness techniques, because I believe that mindfulness is the first step on the path to understanding yourself and others.

Earlier in my career I also worked as a journalist, a PR specialist, an account manager, and an event manager. I'm proof that it's worth looking for your own professional path, and that you can make a change at different points in life — not only through formal education, but also by learning from friends and acquaintances who are happy to share what they know (I highly recommend the inspiring autobiography by social psychologist Elliot Aronson, "Not by Chance Alone").

"The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed."
— Carl G. Jung
This sentence captures my philosophy of work: conflict isn't something to avoid. It's a source of information and a chance for deeper understanding — of yourself and others.
