Zuzanna Malek

My name is Zuzanna Malek. I am an executive and leadership coach partnering with global leaders to navigate complexity, strengthen leadership capability, and build high-performing, sustainable workplaces.

With over 12 years’ experience in learning and development across sectors, I combine a culturally informed perspective with an evidence-based approach grounded in coaching and positive psychology. I create a confidential, challenging space for leaders to think clearly, make better decisions, and lead with greater impact. I see coaching as a strategic lever for organisational performance, not a standalone intervention.

My practice is integrative, person-centred, and outcome-focused. I work 1:1 with senior leaders and middle managers, and deliver team and group coaching for global organisations. My areas of focus include leadership effectiveness, workplace relationships, career transitions, resilience and burnout, confidence, and performance. I have worked with clients across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the US in industries including insurance, technology, media, pharmaceuticals, retail, manufacturing, and the not-for-profit sector.

In addition to coaching, I design and facilitate leadership development programmes and wellbeing initiatives, and have supported the development of early-career high performers.

I hold an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, alongside postgraduate diplomas in Applied Social Psychology and Managing Organisational Learning and Development. I am accredited as an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and with the EMCC at Senior Practitioner level, and I am a member of the British Psychological Society Division of Coaching Psychology (BPS DoCP), the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD), and the Association of Mental Health First Aiders (AoMHFA).
