I had my first job in 1995 working for my mom in her clothes shop and learned all about the importance of providing excellent customer service while having a positive attitude and great products.
Back then in Poland, it was a time when people did stuff "on the fly" and I did not know anything about strategic or business planning. You would say that it was a very top-down approach, my mom set the rules and I had to follow her steps if I wanted to get paid. It worked back then and maybe as I was her only employee.
Today, after 15 years of working in the oil and gas industry in the UK, Australia, and here in the USA Texas, in roles ranging from quality management auditing, and project governance to facilitation, strategy, training, and consulting, I saw the difference a good strategy can make on the people, projects and organizations, especially if the strategy is developed with the people (not for the people).
I also saw that by creating an open and safe space for people to express themselves fully, the process of developing strategies, setting goals, and executing their plans is often transformational. I created this video to explain the process that I have used with my clients for over 10 years and if it resonates with you, I’d love to work with you and find out more about your business and your experiences.
Best wishes

“I really appreciated Iwona facilitating the workshop for us. She spent time
with me and the team to appropriately prepare for the workshop and
challenged us on our thinking and approach which was really positive.
Iwona also managed to understand the high-level concepts very quickly
and successfully facilitated us on the day”
Herman de Jager, Risk and Governance Manager
I had to pleasure to work with Iwona in several roles including framing the
$16 billion Scarborough Project and she also facilitated a series of strategic
planning workshops for my team of nine direct reports.
As a result, we managed to better leverage the diversity in skills and
thinking within the team, and set clear performance expectations with clear
action plans to secure positive outcomes while cultivating a sense of
belonging that came to life in the way we worked and backed each other
up. The end result was a team that loved what they were doing, where
team achievements were celebrated, and where individuals’ own
performances and careers were rejuvenated. We could not have done it
without Iwona
