Hi, I'm Agnes
I'm a coach for senior tech professionals - architects, engineering directors, technical leads, information and knowledge managers, and the people who've spent a decade or two being the most competent person in the room, and are now quietly wondering what any of it is actually for.
I know this experience from the inside. I spent 25 years in IT as a developer, architect, and consultant. I have been a Microsoft MVP for 18+ years, and Microsoft Regional Director for 6 years - credentials awarded by Microsoft to recognized experts in the field. I've consulted for organizations across Europe and globally on knowledge management and information architecture.
From the outside, I had the career that was supposed to feel like enough.
It didn't.
When the job you're good at stops being enough
On paper, everything is fine. You're senior. You're respected. You deliver.
But the work that used to energize you now drains you. You're optimizing for a set of goals you don't remember choosing. You're performing — and you know it. And somewhere in the gap between what you project and what you actually feel, something has quietly broken.
This isn't burnout in the dramatic, collapse-in-the-office sense. It's more like a slow disconnection. You're still functioning. You're still delivering. But you've stopped being able to remember why.
For years, I hid my fear and overwhelm behind a facade of confidence.
I know how it feels to be paralyzed, not able to do anything. I know how this feels because I lived it for long...
Back then, I did what IT people do: I tried to analyse my way out. To solve this like just another new problem. I read the right things, talked to the right people, built the right frameworks. And none of it worked - because this isn't a problem you can solve with your brain.
What eventually worked was slower and messier.
Long walks. Hard conversations. A lot of unlearning. A move to a new country, a divorce, and eventually - clarity. Not the kind you plan for, but the kind that shows up when you stop performing.
That process is now my methodology. I call it the Four Stages: Realize, Explore, Claim, Embody. I built it from my own transition, and I've guided dozens of clients through theirs.
Understanding my own path was only half the battle
Working with my own life coach, I learned to let go of my old definitions of success, peeled back the layers, and pinpointed what was holding me back.
This deep inner work led me to where I am now: running a thriving coaching business. I am excited every day to support my clients through their struggles and unlock the potential waiting for them.
My coaching practice creates a space for genuine growth, leading to lasting fulfillment and satisfaction
Would you like to start your journey towards a more authentic life?
If you’re in a transition and you want a steady companion - someone who can help you rebuild self-confidence, self-trust, and boundaries that actually stick - you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to help.
Take a slow breath.
One step at a time.
You are not broken. You are becoming.
