Profile

Kasia graduated from the Technical University of Dresden where she gained a master’s degree in German as Foreign Language, French and Polish. As the result of her first-hand experience of seeing academic performance and work relationships flourish through greater appreciation of the different perspective of how we see the world, she helps students, researchers and staff fully embrace the potential of Cambridge’s international diversity through training and coaching.

This involves design and delivery of talks, lectures and workshops for specific audiences (undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, visitors and staff) and supporting individuals on a one-to-one basis by helping them develop agile interpersonal skills.

Kasia’s particular interest is supporting healthcare professionals by exploring how cultural diversity influences interactions between staff and the patients (and their relatives) and helps to develop strategies for enhanced communication. This involves design and delivery of workshops on intercultural communication for Y4 School of Clinical Medicine students.

Outside the University, she works as a trainer and coach which enables her to bring the practical experience from training in the international corporate world into academia. This ranges from intercultural leadership, communication, teamwork and personal development.
