Waves of Seeing
ABOUT






I create experiential programs and coaching experiences that meet you where you are and invite transformation at multiple levels: individual awareness, relational dynamics, and systemic patterns. For over 20 years, I've partnered with leaders, teams, NGOs, foundations, creative studios, educational institutions, and diverse communities to cultivate:
-
Presence – the ability to show up fully, even in uncertainty
-
Perspective – seeing yourself, others, and challenges through new lenses
-
Connection – building trust, empathy, and collaboration across differences
-
Resilience – embracing complexity with creativity and courage
-
Clarity – finding direction in the midst of ambiguity
-
Courage – leading authentically and vulnerably
-
Capacity – for deeper reflection and systemic thinking
-
Growth – that ripples from individuals to teams to entire organisations
Working together, you'll experience spaces where vulnerability becomes a source of strength, where stories are truly shared and learned from, and where deeper self-awareness transforms how you lead and relate.
Experiential education, learning through doing, reflecting, and applying, is at the heart of how I work. It naturally integrates with organisational dynamics: when someone learns by tackling a real challenge, they're simultaneously experiencing the culture, testing the safety to experiment, exercising autonomy, and seeing purpose in action.
I create spaces for open dialogue where people are invited to see deeply, appreciate diverse perspectives, and cultivate empathy through transformative learning and development. Through integrating practices like systemic coaching, photo-language, and creative facilitation, I assist people in discovering not only their challenges, but how their inner landscape shapes their relationships, teams, culture, and the world they wish to create.
Another dimension of my work involves photography-based experiences that unlock deeper self-awareness and collective insight. Through the lens, participants discover new ways to see, feel, reflect, and take action, often uncovering perspectives that were always there, waiting to be noticed. This methodology has proven transformative across contexts: from leadership development and organizational change to therapeutic programs for youth, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those navigating mental or physical health challenges.
I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Pedagogy, completed postgraduate studies in Business Training, studied Photography at Pozytyw Photography School in Katowice, and trained in Systemic Coaching at VfTC Berlin. I'm also a certified Points of You® trainer. Originally from Tychy, Poland, I now call Berlin home.
As the founder of Mirror Neurons and Terapia Fotografia, I'm devoted to cultivating the Art of Facilitation, grounded in presence, intuition, and the courage to hold space for what wants to emerge. I co-create environments where conversation, silence, and connection naturally intertwine, inviting people to view themselves and others through new lenses.
I believe that self-leadership is not about perfection but about presence: the courage to witness ourselves fully, embrace our complexity, and choose how we show up in the world. This inner work ripples outward, transforming not just individuals but entire systems.
I envision a world where leaders lead from wholeness rather than fragmentation, where the inner work of integration becomes as valued as external achievement.
I would be delighted to listen to your story and explore what you or your organisation need most right now.
Warmly,
Joanna
