Leadership Development
I design and lead programs for leaders and teams to help them examine how they are making sense of their world - and by doing so start to change it.
Most leadership development offers better answers. I'm more interested in better questions. The kind that unsettle comfortable assumptions and open unexpected territory.
In the room, we work with what's actually present: the unspoken tensions between people, the authority dynamics playing out in real time, the gap between espoused values and actual behavior. The content is leadership, learning, transformation. But the real curriculum is attention and awareness itself.
I work with executive teams, intact leadership groups, and on open-enrollment programs - designing experiences that range from single sessions to extended developmental journeys. The format adapts; the orientation stays the same: slow down, notice what's actually happening, build capacity from there.
What participants often say: the work is challenging but rewarding. "Something shifted in the way we saw the world, and it allowed us to create new possibilities". They leave with fewer certainties but more capacity.
My core areas:
Leadership and Learning
Why would anyone follow you? And what are you learning from how they respond? Leadership and learning aren't separate competencies, they're the same practice, seen from different angles.
Transformations, Transitions and Creativity
What wants to end? What wants to begin? What emerges in the space between? Transformation is not just leading change, it's also the willingness to be changed.
Uncertainty and Trust
When you can't know the outcome, what holds the work together? Not certainty but something stronger: the capacity to stay in relationship with what we don't yet understand.
"Wojtek was an incredible teacher. Empathetic, powerful, honest. Not afraid to push conversations in interesting and unexpected directions. He had a remarkable ability to keep everyone in the room engaged"
from an MBA Student
"Prof Wojtek is wise, generous with his knowledge and amazing at his explanation of complex theories. Love every lecture and exercise he has gone through with us. I've learned a lot from him and his team of coaches - thank you!"
from a participant of a company-specific workshop
"Wojtek was passionate and so very knowledgeable. He took us through some uncomfortable moments for ourselves and he was thoughtful and kind in his approach. He also has a sense of humour, which makes this challenging programme a little easier to work through"
