I’m a Global HR Operations Consultant & Founder of On Demand HR Pro, with almost two decades of experience across AMER, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC. I help Startup Founders and Small Businesses streamline HR Operations and ensure compliance without the cost or commitment of a full-time HR team.
My side hustle and passion project (“Unicorn Coaching”) is dedicated to empowering introverts to overcome social anxiety, find their voice in the workplace, and build thriving, fulfilling careers.
1. Where are you originally from and where you do you currently live?
I am originally from Poland, lived in London UK for 15 years, Dublin Ireland for 1.5 year, Barcelona Spain for almost 4 years and now I just moved back to Poland a week ago after 20 years
2. What has been one rewarding thing about living abroad?
Living abroad broadened my perspective, connected me with diverse cultures, and opened doors to unique career opportunities.
3. What is one fun or random fact about you that people don’t know?
I’m an introvert in real-life, but in online spaces, I often come across as outgoing and socially engaged.
5. What is one tip you would like to share with new expats
Keep an open mind when moving to a new country. Embrace the local culture, be patient, and resist the urge to impose your own ways. Relax, explore, and stay curious – each place offers unique experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.
6. Your personal mantra or quote
“Be good to yourself, cause nobody else has the power to make you happy”… Inspired by George Michael´s song (Heal the Pain”), it’s a reminder to love yourself, stay true to who you are, and not let others’ opinions define your path.
7. What do you like about being a member of The Expat Woman?
Being part of The Expat Woman community has allowed me to grow my network, build meaningful friendships, and learn from others in a supportive, judgment-free space where we all share similar challenges and experiences.
