Testimonials

“Our Division invited Beata to present a Pediatric Grand Rounds to the Department of Pediatrics at our tertiary care hospital on the topic of Imposter Syndrome.  Beata was very thoughtful in putting together a talk that was tailored to this audience based on discussions we had together… The talk was a total success. There were more in-person attendees than most previous Grand Rounds talks which speaks to the importance and interest in the topic… Beata was able to engage a large audience in an engagement exercise, and people loved it- despite my skepticism about how it would work! The feedback from my colleagues around the hospital was outstanding. People sought me out to tell me how much they enjoyed the talk, and how relevant the information was to their daily work. The talk was successful not only because the topic is important to physicians, medical leaders, researchers and trainees, but more importantly,  Beata brings evidence to support the importance of the issue, as well as tips for improvement…

I found Beata to be a compassionate questioner, supportive and targeted at the same time. Her questions were straightforward and her approach was clearly focused on me, what I intended to learn from our interactions, and how I could find answers for myself. Yet she was also willing to offer helpful resources for further exploration. I am confident in saying that my experience with Beata as a coach has put me in a much better place today.”

“Beata met me at a point where I felt defeated in my professional work […] she has helped me recognize and reflect on factors that led me to my burnout as well as provided coaching to ultimately develop healthier relationships with myself and my work. In addition, she has helped me to strategize solutions that align with me and my values to approach challenges at work, including interpersonal relationships; overcoming barriers with administrative or educational policies; and most importantly, deepening my own understanding and practice of self-compassion which has been invaluable to my ongoing journey of wellness and self-care […] Through my time with [Beata], I have developed better boundaries at work as well as improved relationships with my colleagues and regained confidence in knowing and acting on what I bring to the table. ”
