Working with Magda is a delight. I have had the opportunity to work in tandem with Magda, most recently during last year's Witches Retreat in Poland. I was struck by the dynamism and creativity she showed up with-- before, during and after the event. Her innate wisdom and professionalism serves her well in everything she touches, be it workshops, individual coaching or retreats.

Magda has been a trusted partner since Chaperone's inception. Every year, she consistently delivers the high quality we aim both on the formats of 1on1 career support and group training. The ratings she received and the written feedback makes me no doubt that she is among the best professionals I know in this space, and I've worked with hundreds internationally

I had the wonderful fortune of participating in Magda's career coaching program. The sessions were unbelievably useful. Magda has an absolutely wonderful — and very unique — combination of helping us to keep "head in the clouds, feet on the ground." She brings a wonderful combination of extremely useful, practical, actionable insight and guidance with an incomparably warm, encouraging, and positive personality.
Robyn Randle

I had the privilege of receiving career coaching from Magda Kufrej, and her guidance was a game-changer. She offers both practical actions to take and fresh perspectives on how to see yourself, your experience, and your potential. From skills mapping to resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, and networking, she helped me reframe the whole job search process. It became fun!
Elsa Higby
Environmental Consultant and Business Owner
I came to Work Ally with the intention of shaping a portfolio career. What I’ve gained is so much more: a clearer career path, yes—but also a re-orientation of my relationship with myself and the community in which I work and play. The journey has been nothing short of transformative.
It’s rare to find a professional coach who is both deeply empathetic and fully attuned to the demands of the corporate world. Magda Kufrej is that rare combination. She is an exceptional coach with a rare blend of market-savvy insight and deep emotional intelligence.
