Book IWD Speaker: Kasia Szczesniak

Kasia Szczesniak is a vertical leadership development expert and creator of Breakthrough Methods, a transformational system that expands leaders’ capacity to lead beyond skills and knowledge, so they can operate effectively under high-pressure, uncertainty, and complexity.

With over 20 years of international experience spanning corporate and entrepreneurial environments, including nearly a decade at Google, Kasia brings deep, real-world insight into how leadership actually operates inside complex organizations and why performance-driven models eventually plateau.

In her keynotes, Kasia introduces the different levels of leadership, giving audiences clarity on where they are operating from, what is limiting their advancement, and how vertical leadership development occurs. She explains why leadership often plateaus despite increased effort, tools, or strategies, and how leadership growth comes from expanding the internal capacity from which leaders operate.

Audiences leave with a clear understanding of the different levels of leadership, the level they are currently operating from, what is keeping them at that level, and what must evolve for them to progress to the next level.

Kasia delivers high-impact keynotes for founders, executives, and senior leaders who are ready to step into a new level of leadership.

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, she speaks internationally.
