Testimonials

Iwona Lebiedowicz has been privileged to work with some fantastic brands and people.We have been working with clients on both a retained and project basis.

Jan Immel

Enterprise Europe Network

“Enterprise Europe Network enlisted the services of Iwona Lebiedowicz to contribute to the launch event of our trade mission to Poland in 2016. Iwona delivered an excellent interactive session about the practicalities of doing business in Poland and the cultural nuances, which companies need to be aware of when attempting to enter the market. Iwona was an engaging speaker and our delegates went home extremely pleased with what they had learned.”

“Iwona's cross-cultural, in-depth knowledge, awareness, and acumen across business disciplines, enables her to understand the challenges from a 'front line' perspective, and the fact that her passion is value driven, she builds trust and rapport quickly and effectively to provide solutions that support businesses to thrive and grow.

All sectors can benefit from Iwona's skills and product portfolio; we live in a multi cultural society, and our business environments are becoming increasingly diverse, and perhaps uncertain for some as Brexit unfolds. Understanding culture; respecting it, and the role it plays within our businesses is crucial if we want to evolve further, influence, and succeed.

Iwona's experience of cross cultural business environments is proving invaluable to businesses operating both locally and globally; creating and building awareness; adding value for employers and employees.

I have worked with Iwona on a number of occasions and look forward to our collaborating again in the future; I recommend her highly!”

Iwona is driven by her strong personal values and ethos, which she lives by in her business life. She exhibits excellent communication skills – whether to staff, clients or peers – and her standards have often forced me to challenge my own behaviours.
