It focuses not on the causes of problems, but on their solutions. Our training aims at developing the competence of educators and achieving better learning outcomes by understanding students’ behavior, skillful work and effective motivation to learn.

Agnieszka Zawiślak
I am a coach and educator, so naturally in my work I focus on the process involving young people who are just choosing their path – both personal and professional. Thanks to careful conversation, looking at what the young client is pointing out, I help to discover real and personal needs and potential, thanks to which they can create the future based on faith in their abilities and values. I love working with young people, who each time teach me a fresh perspective on life, spontaneity and uncompromise in following dreams.
