About

Hi! I'm a software engineer and a leader with 10 years+ in the tech industry with educational background both in software engineering and also in coaching and mentoring. My hands-on experience in technical leadership with heavy focus on personal and professional growth of engineers goes hand in hand here. Unsure of the next steps in your career? Impostor syndrome stopping you? Stressed first-time tech or people leader? If this sounds like your challenge, I warmly invite you to connect.

If you want to find out more about my approach and some concrete examples, I invite you to continue reading. About my approach:

I promote cultivating resilience and adaptability as guiding principles of my practice. Here are a few of the benefits for you that I strive for:

1ļøāƒ£ Mentoring: you use my experience and expertise to get the answers you need to get unblocked in action and/or come up with the next steps. If you suggest it, we can dive deeper to explore options and sometimes even try to challenge the status quo

2ļøāƒ£ Encouraging resilience and agency: we focus on concrete steps you can take for concrete goals, right here, right now. We could also dive in to discover the possible limitations, fears and difficulties and enable you to come up with custom strategies that work for you personally

3ļøāƒ£ Radical candor: if we will be challenging the status quo then always with empathy and care, and never sugar coating

Examples of what I could assist with:

- engineers seniority growth: finding the gaps and strategies to fill them
- breaking into tech from other fields
- impostor syndrome, perfectionism
- communication issues
- navigating conflicts
- first-time leaders
- career change or other professional crossroads

I am looking forward to speaking with you!

My motivation was to get advice from someone with Software Engineering experience who is also a Leader / People Manager, to figure out if switching careers into SW Development would be the right choice for me at this time, and if yes, then how to go about it. I'm still in the process, but I was impressed and relieved immediately by Aneta's common sense and honest approach. She is high energy and passionate about what she does. Immediately she identified that the my main issue was I lacked structure and a clear goal, and devised a plan on what steps we need to do to have an objective, tangible and achievable goal, and how we are going to get there. Aneta gave me concrete exercises, questions and a step by step approach that helped me to reflect a lot about thinks that I wouldn't have considered myself, and really see what my priorities are and helped me to appreciate much more where I work right now, and dissolve some of my irrational fears and prejudice :)

Working with Aneta has been a truly transformative experience. Her organization and structured approach have been incredibly valuable to me as a mentee. Aneta clearly cares about her mentees’ progress, and every session feels meticulously prepared, allowing us to dive right into meaningful discussions. One of the standout aspects of our work together has been her ability to understand and clarify the more abstract, complex challenges I face. She has a remarkable talent for helping me illuminate these issues, and I always feel we’re tackling them as a team. It’s not just a mentoring process; it’s a collaborative journey where I genuinely feel supported and empowered. The ā€œahaā€ moments we’ve had together have been numerous, and my progress with Aneta is more than I’ve experienced in other coaching or mentoring programs. I highly recommend Aneta to anyone looking for a dedicated, insightful, and truly collaborative mentor who is invested in their growth and success.
