Meet me

My name is Klaudyna Smit.

I am from Krakow, Poland; the city where I currently live. Having spent multiple years working in the United States, I now find myself navigating between these two locations for both business and personal life.

I have a Juris Doctor degree in law, I am a graduate of the Management Consulting program through Harvard and I have several years of experience in various leadership roles in the finance industry. Over the years, I have led and developed domestic and international teams across Europe, Asia and the United States. I have designed and executed multiple projects in a high-pressure environment and have successfully managed and delivered significant organizational changes. I have mentored and consulted individuals who have grown into successful leaders, and developed new and existing teams to ensure they are setup for success.

My goal is to do meaningful work and make an impact. As a business leadership consultant, mentor, and an expert in the field of leadership I assist leaders, managers, CEOs and entrepreneurs in becoming world-class leaders – leaders who inspire others to take action, who manage talents effectively, and who as a result transform their teams into highest performing ones, achieving impressive results across the organization.

I have proven multiple times in my career that the most substantial return on investment in leadership is achieved by creating a lasting impact.

Let’s create that impact together.

“Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.”

— Simon Sinek

“The best way to predict the future is to create it”.

As a leader, you possess the power to shape the future. Collaborate with me, and I'll guide you through the process.

In my consulting, mentoring, and coaching sessions, whether one-on-one or in group workshops with leaders, the emphasis is always on addressing individual needs and determining the most suitable and personalized path forward. This is because I understand that optimal results and significant influence are derived from a customized approach.

A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.
