Coaching & workshops for women
in leadership and transition

Professional development.
Positive leadership.
Meaningful work.

Magdalena Kaminska

Since 2011, I have been supporting clients in challenging professional contexts through coaching sessions and workshops, helping them to clarify their roles, make decisions and consciously shape their career development.

My work combines systemic coaching with scientifically grounded approaches from coaching psychology, positive psychology and positive leadership. I listen carefully, quickly grasp complex situations and support my clients in developing pragmatic, sustainable solutions.

Several thousand hours of coaching and 16 years of professional experience in academia, the cultural sector and non-profit organisations form the foundation of my work.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (University of East London) and am a Senior Practitioner of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

For women who take a proactive approach to shaping their careers.

In Leipzig, online and across Germany

My clients are managers and specialists who have achieved a great deal but have reached a point where the next steps are no longer clear.

It’s about new responsibilities, leadership issues or career transitions: How do I want to work? What still suits me, and what no longer does? Typical topics include:

  • deciding for or against a leadership role
  • taking on new responsibilities
  • career reorientation following periods of dissatisfaction
  • the next step in development within the current context
  • clarifying roles, expectations and career fit

In coaching, we organise and clarify personal expectations and needs related to work, as well as opportunities for individual development. We discuss specific next steps required for a new role or position.

My approach

Offerings

Leadership Coaching

My clients are experienced executives or those on their way to taking on a leadership role. They are taking on new responsibilities, facing new challenges and developing their own understanding of leadership.
The focus of coaching is on finding direction, communication, making clear decisions and enhancing personal effectiveness.

Professional Coaching & Career Coaching

The women who come to me are qualified, experienced professionals who are at a crossroads in their careers or looking to take the next step. They are exploring their options, re-evaluating their current roles and seeking the right next move.
The focus is on a (critical) review of the status quo, realistic prospects and sound decisions for their future career development.

Group Coaching and Workshops

In group settings, I work with people who are grappling with similar career-related issues and wish to reflect on them in a structured way through discussion.
The focus is on clarity, gaining a fresh perspective, and identifying concrete next steps. These sessions are particularly suited to women in leadership roles or those on their way to taking on such roles, and can also be implemented within organisations.

Organisational Context

I work with organisations that wish to provide targeted support for the development and transformation of their managers, staff or teams.

What my clients say

In a nutshell, Ms. Kaminska is a great coach, so if you are on the fence about professional coaching I hope this will encourage you to give it a go! Ms. Kaminska's straightforward, direct, and kind approach helped me explore and ultimately take a new professional direction at a time of low confidence in my career. She helped me not only talk through my options, but also make practical steps to achieve my goals - such as guiding me through reworking my CV and application papers and trawling through job websites, always with a mind to the jobs I was suited to and interested in. Ultimately, job coaching with Ms. Kaminska was one of the best investments I have made professionally and I thoroughly recommend it.

Lydia Sargent

I had the pleasure of working with Magdalena Kaminska during my job search, and I can highly recommend her. She is very supportive, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. She helped me stay motivated during a challenging period with many rejections and encouraged me to keep going and try new directions. Our sessions were always helpful and gave me more confidence. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for professional and encouraging coaching
