I'm Ania — founder of engaged.lab.
For sixteen years, I worked in tech — building programs, designing concepts, and leading teams.
Then, about four years ago, I decided to focus on something I had been noticing for a long time: the smartest strategies and best tools meant nothing if teams couldn't actually communicate, trust, and make decisions together.
That observation became my focus. I started studying psychological safety deeply, became a certified Fearless Organization Practitioner, and began working with leaders and organizations to understand — and shift — how they actually function.
Today, I work with both fast-growing startups and established companies, including McKinsey and ASML.
What I bring isn't a template. It's the ability to see what's really happening beneath the surface — and design the right interventions to change it.
I notice patterns others miss.
Now I know what to do with them.
Based in Amsterdam, working across the Netherlands, Poland, and Europe — in English and Polish.
