A Little About Coach
Magdalena Kishizawa

I’ve spent my life across many countries, cultures, and experiences. I’ve lived in Poland, Germany, the UK, Ireland, Malta, and now Portugal, and this journey has shaped me and my work. My personal story is just as eclectic — married for over ten years to a Japanese husband, I’ve learned to see the world through many lenses.

These life experiences fuel my commitment to understanding people in all their complexity. I’ve seen first-hand that every challenge, whether professional or personal, is unique — and that’s why I take the time to get to know you, not just your goals. Whether we’re working together on developing leadership skills or navigating deeper psychological issues, my approach is holistic and tailored to who you are.

In my mid-fifties now, and with decades of experience behind me, I continue to be passionate about helping people achieve more than they thought possible, both in their careers and in their lives.
