Monika Matuszewska - LaMatu - Coaching and Mentoring Services - Amsterdam, the Netherlands
As far back as I can remember, I have been driven by a deep curiosity and a genuine passion for learning. This motivation led me to pursue higher education extensively, culminating in four Master’s degrees. Alongside my academic path, I continued to invest in my development throughout my corporate career, with a strong focus on vocational training in project management, leadership, and team dynamics.
My learning trajectory reflects a consistent, life-long commitment to growth. I have always been inspired by the opportunity to expand my knowledge, broaden my horizons, and explore perspectives beyond conventional education. This curiosity has taken me beyond traditional academic frameworks—encouraging me to seek new experiences, stretch my comfort zone, and continuously develop new skills. The achievements presented below are the result of both focused effort and pure joy of learning.

CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

My journey into professional coaching is a natural extension of this path. It is rooted in a strong foundation of professional experience and a deep interest in human development. Throughout my managerial career, I completed multiple leadership programmes and courses to develop and apply coaching skills in a business context. Over more than a decade, I have refined my expertise through formal training in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, integrating business acumen with psychological frameworks and approaches such as neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and mindfulness. In addition to my academic background, I have completed extensive formal training at recognised institutions in the fields of professional coaching, psychology, counselling, NLP, and yoga. I hold professional credentials across these disciplines and maintain active membership in relevant professional associations. To qualify as a certified career, mindset, personal leadership, and lifestyle coach, I have undertaken comprehensive training over a period of more than 10 years. These experiences—combined with numerous personal development programmes and in-company training initiatives throughout my corporate career—have enabled me to build a multi-disciplinary coaching toolkit that supports my clients in a practical, grounded, and effective way.
