AlicjaCoaching for the career you actually want.
For international professionals in Germany who feel stuck, overlooked, or ready for what's next. A 1:1 thinking partnership where you set the agenda — and we do the real work behind your direction, decisions, and how you show up.
Coaching is for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, and understand the value they actually bring to the table. Sometimes getting stuck deciding between option A and option B means we've stopped seeing the rest of the alphabet of possibilities.
Does any of this sound like you?
These aren't modules we work through — they're real things people have brought to coaching. Yours will be your own.
I keep shrinking in rooms where I should take up space.
I just got my first team and I have no idea how to give feedback without sounding like I'm performing authority.
I've achieved what I aimed for — and I don't know what I want next.
Everyone on my team used to be my peer. Now I'm supposed to manage them.
I want to lead, but I'm not sure who I am as a leader.
My career has happened to me so far. I want to build the next part on purpose.
I deserve a promotion, but my manager sees it differently. What can I do?
I feel like an imposter — and I fear people will finally see it.
This isn't advice you follow. It's clarity you own.
Real awareness and lasting change need space to develop. I become your thinking partner — a structured space to work through what's actually yours to figure out. Not frameworks. Not generic advice. Your direction, your decisions, your sense of how you want to show up.
Coaching here means working on you — your decisions, your direction, how you want to lead, how you want to show up. Career topics, including job moves, absolutely come up. The difference is what we're building: not a CV, not an application strategy, but the person making those calls.
A haircut, a flight, a new laptop. You know what you got the moment you have it. The value of coaching shows up later, in the decisions you make differently because of it.
Direction you trust
A clear sense of what you actually want next — not what you think you should want.
A way to be seen
Language and presence that make your contribution impossible to overlook.
Decisions you own
The confidence to act on choices that are truly yours — and stand behind them.
You bring the agenda, every time.
The format stays simple, so the work can stay open.
1:1, 60 minutes — online
Just the two of us, wherever you are. Focused, confidential, and built around what you bring.
A regular cadence
Weekly or every two weeks, depending on the pace that works for you.
This is a process, not a one-time fix
Real change unfolds over time. This isn't a single conversation that fixes everything, it's steady work that builds on itself for as long as it's useful to you.
You're in control of your growth
What we focus on, how fast we move, when we're done. That's yours to set.
I work with people who've outgrown their path.
I'm Alicja, a growth and career coach based in Berlin. For 15 years I designed how companies hire, from the inside and alongside them, led teams of my own, and worked closely with leaders at the C level. What stayed with me through all of it was how much human potential goes unseen, and how quietly the system works against people who don't fit the default, especially international professionals building their careers in Germany.
In 2024 I opened my coaching practice to focus fully on the work I care about most: partnering with ambitious people who have outgrown the path their career was on, and are ready to decide what comes next on their own terms.

How long and how often are sessions?+
Each session is 60 minutes, online. We meet weekly or every two weeks — whatever pace fits your life and the work.
How many sessions will I need?+
I think of it like learning to swim. If you asked a swimming coach how many lessons you'll need, the honest answer is: it depends. Can you already swim, or are you afraid of the water? Do you want to cross an ocean, or just feel at ease in the pool with your kids? I can meet you on any of those journeys, but you're the one who has to get in the water. Some days we'll learn something new, some days it won't feel like progress, and you can pause anytime. Through all of it, we keep our eyes on the goal you set for yourself.
Do I need to know my goal before we start?+
No. Many people come precisely because they don't. Every session opens with one question: what do you want to work on today?
Is coaching in English?+
Yes. I work in English with international professionals across Germany, and I'm based in Berlin.
How is this different from Visibility Reset?+
Coaching is open and client-led — you bring the agenda. Visibility Reset is a structured job-search method with direct feedback on your CV, LinkedIn, and strategy. Not sure? The discovery call is the easiest way to find out.
What happens on the discovery call?+
It's a conversation, not a pitch. We talk through what's going on and what you'd want to work on. By the end, I hope you'll say either “yes, this is exactly what I need,” or “actually, this isn't how I imagined it.” Both are good answers: either way, we've used the time to find out whether we're the right match to work together.
Let's start with a conversation.
If you already know exactly what you want, a CV rewrite or Job Search Support gets you pragmatic, direct help. If you're still working out where to start and what you need, that's what 1:1 Coaching is for.
