Let’s Get You a Career That Makes Your Mind, Heart (and Bank Account) Happy
Career coaching and skills development for STEMM
You're a STEMM professional.
You’ve been working in STEMM, whether in academia, in industry or elsewhere. You always thought this would be your dream job… but it’s really not. Instead of following your curiosity, you’re chasing funds. Instead of contributing to areas that really interest you, you’re working long hours to meet the company's business goals.
You know it’s time to make a move but to where?!
You went through at least 5 years of college because you wanted a career that’s exciting, where you can use your brain, have an impact and be appreciated. A career that makes you feel good and supports your lifestyle.
A career that makes you happy to start your work every morning (and can comfortably pay your bills).
You represent a college, company or organization.
You've been working with STEMM students, graduates and professionals. You know that STEMM job market is ultra-competitive despite positive trends so graduates and professionals demand support in career development and planning.
Often, alumni career success impacts funding opportunities. Only when positive it maintains reputation of the colleagues and the institution itself.
You know that providing career guidance is important but how can you do it with limited resources?
You can either invest in development of staff and faculty (which boosts morale and job satisfaction) or let me support you by providing bespoke career and competence-building workshops.
Hi, I’m Joanna Kaniewska
and I work with STEMM professionals like you to define your values, discover new ways to use your experience, learn new skills (like how to market yourself, interview well and negotiate), and become aware of all the possibilities available to you, so you can choose the path that makes you happiest.

Those who committed said:
“Joanna has a kind approach intertwined with openness and patience. Her coaching has helped me become aware of my values and embed them in the decisions I was struggling or afraid to make. She helped me not only to realise what I can do to achieve my goals but also to do it. After 6 months, I can say that I feel more confident as well as grateful to have taken a part in her programme. I am sure I will be coming back to what I’ve learned many times in the future.”

“I had different options, a lot of questions, and confusion about my future career, and Joanna, in a short period of time, helped me a lot and made me realize what I really want to do. Joanna has outstanding communication skills. At the same time, her professional skills are magnificent. Asking some questions, which I personally have never thought about, she made me understand; How to build my future career, what my strengths are, and what opportunities I have. All in all, I am grateful to Joanna for her Professionalism and friendliness. I believe that Joanna will be an excellent asset in supporting other professionals with their career choices. ”
