Hi, I’m Monika Sałach! (Sah-wahkh)

Portrait of a coach Monika Sałach

Have you lost your path in life? Are you going through a period of profound change in your life? Are you questioning your career choices or facing an existential crisis? Do you long for a sense of meaning and purpose in your work?

I understand how you feel because I’ve been there too. With two decades of experience in the IT sector, I found immense joy and fulfillment in my work. However, as time progressed, the stress, and various workplace disillusionments began to erode my enthusiasm and passion. I was unaware that I was experiencing burnout until it was too late. This catalyzed a significant change in my life.

In an attempt to alleviate the stress, I embarked on a 1.5-year coaching course, reigniting my early interest in psychology. Through this journey of self-discovery and healing, I came to understand the transformative power of coaching in harmonizing one’s professional life with personal values and finding meaning in their actions.

 

Despite facing uncertainty and a fear of making substantial life changes, I made the courageous decision to transition from the IT industry to become a Life Vision and Transformation Coach, essentially starting anew. Returning to my homeland after years abroad, I embarked on a new chapter, driven by a desire to support others navigating similar transformations and seeking clarity amidst life’s uncertainties and challenges.

Whether you’re at a crossroads in your career, struggling to find purpose in your daily life, or simply seeking guidance on your journey of self-discovery, I am here to offer you support. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and empowering you to live a life aligned with your deepest values and aspirations.

I invite you to schedule an Intro Session with me, where we can explore your goals, aspirations, and challenges, and determine how I can best support you on your
journey towards personal and professional fulfillment. Thank you for considering me as your partner in transformation.

Three Pillars of My Coaching

Safe Space: As your coach, I uphold the highest standards of confidentiality. I will put all effort that is needed to earn your trust, allowing you to explore your deepest fears, aspirations, and challenges with confidence and without hesitation.

Respect: You are seen, heard, and valued for who you are, not where you are. Regardless of your past, choices, or beliefs, I approach you with respect and I honor your unique perspectives and experiences. Your story matters, and your feelings are valid. I believe in your potential, even when you doubt it yourself.

No Judgment: I’m not here to tell you what to do nor to judge your story or choices. Criticism has no place in our sessions. Instead, we navigate challenges and explore possibilities using logic, emotions, and intuition to help you navigate challenges and make informed decisions.

Why Work With Me

I know the power of transformation: Once I entered the transformation path myself leaving the IT industry and becoming a life coach, I’m constantly challenging myself and growing, and I’m committed to bringing that same spirit of growth to your coaching experience.

I’m a compassionate listener: Coaching is to listen to your story and plan your future. You are a hero and your voice will always be heard. My role is to listen, understand, and act as a mirror to show you something that might be overlooked.

Plus, I am an introvert, so you may be confident that I will listen much more than talk 😊 

I’m passionate and dedicated:  I’m deeply passionate about helping individuals become free, unlock their potential, and live their most fulfilling lives. Your success is my joy, and I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way.

I am authentic and easy-going: I believe in the power of being true to oneself regardless of the circumstances, and this is how I am on both the coaching sessions and in life.

I will hold you accountable: I provide a supportive environment that encourages self-reflection, exploration, and experimentation, but I will also hold you accountable for implementing steps to achieve passion and purpose in your life and work.
