What people say about working with me

“What can I say. I feel better than I’ve done in years, and and have learned more about myself and my role in a few sessions with you than a whole year of therapy.”
Liz, Programme Director at UK based charity

'I was working for the right cause but somehow I couldn’t find my place it that. It exhausted me. The Smart Activist Programme was like a scaffolding to help me face some discomfort and clear up what was getting in the way. I also learned how my own life experiences, besides my practical skills, are valuable to the world too. That was very empowering.'

Colette van der Minne, Transition Facilitator Sustainability

‘I wanted to share my experiences with racism to inspire the next generation. Ania helped me to overcome my fear by looking back proudly of my achievements. Never sparking an ounce of judgement, she showed deep interest with a quest for compassion. Our work together fueled me to speak in front of an important audience, who then shared a tremendous amount of support. I highly recommend to work with Ania!’
Jérôme Mottas, Product Manager at Ingka Group

‘Ania has this ability to let you discover what really matters most to you. She is very perceptive with her questions and creates an atmosphere that makes you feel at ease.’
Marieke Schatteleijn, Nature conservationist, TV presenter & Author

‘During our sessions, I get excited and energised, experiencing many "aha" moments. Things I’ve heard in other spaces just click for me - Ania’s knowledge and insights help me to integrate theory in my day-to-day work. I find myself much a better and convincing communicator, getting really great reviews.’
Happy Mwende Kinyile, Co-Executive Director, Mama Cash, The Netherlands

‘I have always loved my work, but I’d come to an impasse, struggling to find the best way to make a valuable contribution. The one-to-one sessions with Ania brought to the forefront where my priorities lie, including some issues I hadn’t realised were important to me – what a surprise! It helped me clarify the steps needed to meaningfully move forward.’

Mandi Stark, Director & Wildlife filmmaker

‘Our team had several training sessions with Ania. She always provides tangible insights and examples, as well as support. She motivated me to start talking more about how I feel connected to our cause. It lead to much more meaningful conversations, for example with our donors. She is a very skillful trainer.’
Janine van Doorn, Fundraising Manager, The Netherlands

‘With her compassionate yet grounded facilitation, Ania is an enabler in the best sense of the word. She combines compelling questions, deep insights and therapeutic processes to help you access your own wisdom. Consistently, I felt heard, seen and held with care while she guided my exploration.

Thanks to the Programme I now have a clearer, more focused framing for my services, giving me a renewed sense of inner empowerment. Thank you Ania for your heart-centered way of uplifting others to have more impact in the world.’
Elizabeth Soltis from Canada, Founder/Director Bridges Global, Author of Authentic Collaboration
