What my clients say

Izabela was one of the trainers in a four-day course I attended in 2019 at the International School of Communications (ISOC) in Dubai. I had the opportunity to attend two of her courses, and I learned from her immensely while enjoying the experience. Her style is clear and straightforward, coupled with examples and effective resources that help deliver her message across. She has a fine way of making every attendee take part in discussions and interact. Izabela is intelligent, professional, pleasant. She makes learning fun and an experience to remember.

I’ve taken the press release writing training with Izabela and it was extremely useful and interesting. Izabela is so knowledgeable and nice that we were keen on sharing knowledge and comparing different approaches in different cultures when it comes to media relations. She’s highly recommended and I am so looking forward to taking more trainings with her.

Izabela’s natural understanding of people, combined with her passion to help, make her a great coach. She asked the right questions, which helped me to understand myself better and find answers to the issues I’ve been struggling to tackle on my own. The sessions take place in a warm atmosphere. You really open up – most importantly to yourself – and you discover sides of your personality you didn’t know existed.Anna Monastirskaya

Sessions with Izabela made me discover how much strength and creativity I have inside of me that I was not aware of. The meetings take place in a friendly atmosphere. There is no hierarchy, which allowed me to open up and get a new outlook on my life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop with Coach Isabella. The session was interactive, and the activities and methods used to conduct the session were engaging and interesting. Coach Izabela has the ability to deliver information and points concisely and in a coherent manner. The flow of the sessions was smooth and consistent. Isabella was always available to offer help and support and was proactive in reaching out to clients to make sure everything was clear and understandable. I would recommend Coach Izabela for anyone who is interested in the field.

I took a press release writing course with Izabela a few months back, and I can confidently say that she is a fantastic instructor and mentor. Izabela’s method of delivering complex topics with ease is impressive, not to mention her eloquence and mastery of language.

I would love to take another course with Izabela soon, and I will continue to recommend her to anyone who’s interested in learning more about communication with no hesitation.

If you’re in need of working with someone who can help you reach your full potential, Izabela is that person. I’ve worked with Izabela for a couple of years, and she played a vital role in helping me develop my skills. Not only has she empowered me in this challenging field but she has also changed the direction of my career for the better.

Izabela did more than just coach me, she supported me every step of the way and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. A sense of compassion and understanding perfectly complements her business acumen.

As an employee I have gone from strength to strength thanks to Izabela and would recommend her to anyone else without hesitation.

My experience of having Izabela as my  coach has greatly improved my life. From the first session she made it clear that this was my journey and that it would allow me to face things that sometimes I would rather not face, and tackle issues that I was letting hold me back. Through a series of exercises and homework she worked with me to reassess the obstacles that I was letting stand in my way and showed me how I could overcome them. She helped me prioritise what I currently have in my life and make the most the things that mattered to me, instead of focusing on things that were bringing me down.

With her professional and calm manner Izabela makes it easy to open up and discuss your dreams and hopes for your life. She encourages you with practical steps that you can make these dreams become a reality. Quite simply, talking to Izabela and working through the sessions has allowed me to have a much more enlightened and positive outlook on my life.

I was honoured to take a 2-day course with Izabela in May 2022, where she taught copywriting for PR professionals.

Izabela is an attentive, experienced, and highly professional trainer. Her course had a solid theoretical base and interactive approach. I practiced immediately what I learned and received detailed answers to my questions. I implemented the learned techniques into my work routine.

I would recommend Izabela as a competent, effective, and skillful trainer in the communication and public relations field.

During my coaching sessions with Izabela, I have realised that I have unconsciously closed many doors to my life opportunities and I therefore felt stuck in many areas of my life. Our sessions helped my discover that there is no such thing as a “closed door”. I have started to look forward and not backwards, which have resulted in amazing life realizations and helped me find my new life goals! The coaching process is never-ending and I would like to have Izabela as my lifetime coach! Thank you for making me the best I can be and helping me find more happiness.Nina Badri

Working with Izabela has been a true pleasure. She holds up a mirror, asks the hard questions to unlock your growth potential. I’ve found her sessions extremely beneficial and they helped me unlock my next stages of growth.

Asma Afreen

Izabela has been a wonderful coach- supportive yet challenging. Her ability empathize, listen deeply and ask powerful questions was a very insightful experience. She made apt recommendations of books which were a very useful resource. My sessions with Izabela proved to be very beneficial on the personal and professional fronts

Gauri Rao Sharma

Izabela’s genuine interest in human nature combined with her contagious enthusiasm makes her the right person for the job. She never judges you. Instead, she asks questions that can instantly change your perspective. I have benefited from Izabela’s sessions by realising that things CAN get done and that I CAN be responsible for any progress I want in my life. I would recommend anyone to try and see what it is like to have someone like Izabela holding you accountable for the promises you make to yourself.
