Who I am?
I am an HR Executive who has beenin love with my job for over 25 years. I am also a big enthusiast of the HR Business Partnering model, which I have evangelized,promoted and implemented many timesover the last 16 years, in Poland and Europe,as part of the consulting activity of my company WNCL. Along with my team, I carry out projects using a unique format of “HR Director on Hours” for many companies of various sizes and industries – i.e., pharmaceutical, medical, financial, media, e-commerce, technological, FMCG, and production, as well as for local and Polish government agencies and NGOs.
In mid 2021 I have founded HR Power Mentor start-up which is an online development platform dedicated to HR Business Partners. The major goal is to assist HRBPs in development of their most critical and specific competences, any by this build their power and authority. More about this project you can find on www.hrpowermentor.com.
I started my journey in the business as a Head-hunter (for Ward Howell International) and as a trainer (with the Scandinaviantraining company Mercuri International). For nearly 10 years, I was the head of HR and a member of the management team in large international corporations in the FMCG and pharmaceutical industry (RJ Reynolds Tobacco/Japan Tobacco, Aventis Pharma, Gillette/P&G), where I designed and executed all major HR processes based on a business strategy and lean management philosophy. I went through three mergers, actively participating in the design and implementation of integration and communication processes. I have also carried out many reorganization and restructuring projects.
I am a certified facilitator and trainer from the Master Trainer Institute in France, and I have extensive experience in conducting workshops, strategic sessions, and Senior Leadership Team Excellence processes. For many years I have been a mentor (certified recently) for many entrepreneurs, business leaders and HR professionals, and have participated in pro bono activities with the Women Leadership in Business Foundation.
I had the honour of participating in the first “Businesswoman of the Year” competition, organized by the Foundation “SukcesPisanySzminką”, Radio Pin and BRE Bank, in which I was honoured with a Special Mention.
I was born in Wroclaw, which is informally called WrocLove, where I studied at the Oskar Lange Academy of Economics. I currently live in Warsaw. I have two wonderful, grown children, Martyna and Filip and since September 2022 I also became a grandmother.
I am an avid traveller, completely in love with Nepal and Bhutan where I go regularly to visit my spiritual teacher. I enjoy word smithing very much, which is why I write poems and am also engaged in other writing projects. I am a dog lover and these wonderful animals have always been a part of my family since I was a child. However recently I expand my love to the animals by becoming happy owner of two beautiful Birman cats. I love to spend time on self-development, going beyond my comfort zone, surprising myself and others, trying to conquer the unconquerable, spending time with my friends, supporting and helping others in their self-development, as well as by volunteering with charity activities.
My life motto is “Everything happens for the best.”
