Michalina Madra

I’m Michalina Mądra — a certified professional coach with an MBA and over a decade of international experience in business development and executive education. I partner with professionals and leaders who want clarity, confidence, and practical strategies to navigate career transitions, step into leadership roles, and build emotional resilience in demanding professional environments. 

Having worked across multiple countries and cultures, including roles in multinational companies and leading academic institutions such as IE University and IESE Business School, I deeply understand the challenges of growing in global workplaces and adapting to new environments. This experience informs my coaching and helps clients thrive — even when they feel like outsiders, face self-doubt, or carry the weight of big decisions. 

My coaching focuses on three core areas where demand is highest today:

* Career Transition & Growth – gaining clarity on next steps, aligning work with values, and moving forward confidently.

* Leadership Development – developing presence, strategic thinking, and communication skills for leadership success.

* Emotional Intelligence & Resilience – managing emotions effectively, handling pressure, and building sustainable performance.

Clients typically leave our work with greater clarity about their goals, stronger confidence in decision-making, and actionable strategies to advance their careers or lead more effectively — not just insight, but measurable progress.

I blend business insight, global perspective, and a tailored approach in every session, offering a supportive yet results-focused space for growth. Coaching with me is about expanding your self-awareness and translating that into real-world change.

  • I had the pleasure of being coached by Michalina. Over three sessions, she helped me identify the issues that were making me feel uncomfortable, but that I found difficult to articulate. The sessions were solution-focused and allowed me to discover new perspectives on the problems I was facing. Highly recommended!
