About me
Joanna Zapolska
accredited EMCC Mentor and Coach
I am a woman who has gone through many life and professional transformations – and I am still going through them .
Each change was a lesson for me, and today I draw from these experiences, combining them with knowledge and competences as a Manager and an accredited Mentor and Coach .
My transformations so far?
Moving to Poland from Ukraine, divorce, legal battle for child custody, next steps in career, long-distance love relationship, creating a patchwork family, burnout, husband's serious accident, going to college after forty.
Today I am making another change – from a corporate financier I am becoming a mentor, trainer, bodywork advocate and a fulfilled woman. And I know one thing: every change is a chance to rediscover myself.

How about you? Change is already happening – the only question is whether you want to give it a direction that is truly yours?
I invite you to stop for a moment and look at what is really important.
- What comes easily to you, what do you have a natural knack for?
- What brings you joy and a sense of purpose?
- Is where you are now still working for you? What other options do you have?
Experience:
I work as a mentor and coach, drawing on 20 years of professional experience in international corporations - I changed positions 11 times, was promoted 4 times, managed a team and a budget worth over USD 220 million per year.
In order to be able to support my Clients as a mentor and coach with the highest quality and taking care of the standards and guidelines of the EMCC Code of Ethics, I completed the Norman Benett coaching program, obtained EMCC accreditation (European Mentoring and Coaching Council), and have experience of approx. 100h of individual sessions.
I am a Mentor in the Network of Entrepreneurial Women, SGH Alumni and CIMA, I support women, entrepreneurs and young talents who are entering the job market.
I am constantly improving my skills by participating in various courses, including the GATE Program and interpersonal training at TROP, the SWPS Dance Therapy course, MentorLab workshops, and the IBA Body in Emotions course.
