About us
We have been running competence development programs for 25 years. We have participated in thousands of group and individual sessions by giving support, thrust and structure to each process.
We rely on conventional training methods, including workshops, trainings, simulations, coaching, lectures, presentations, etc.
Our focus is always on the needs of the other person and, on a broader scale, the needs of a team which embodies a great potential but often suffers from an information overload. This potential is not fully used, and it is "clogged" by new, redundant information.
We help our Clients structure their thoughts and actions to deliver optimal results and greater satisfaction. We cooperate with various experts who also view the man from a similar perspective.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to two wonderful people whom I first met 7 years ago (...).
Our last meeting was yet another break-through point in my professional growth, my self-knowledge and understanding of other people. Above all, the training taught me how to plan and live a meaningful life.
I have the great pleasure of recommending Kasia and Darek as professional business partners who will accurately diagnose the group's needs and effectively assist the client in solving his problems. An innovative approach to conveying philosophical and psychological knowledge to training participants makes Kasia and Darek the most unique trainers I have ever worked with. Their workshops are always highly motivating, they give me an energy boost and they inspire me to continue searching for what we call the meaning of life.

As a trainer who works for a large foreign corporation, I took part in many training courses and workshops in Poland and abroad.
Mediator's "Team Management" training was a break-through experience in my professional and personal life. In short, the course provided me with a new outlook on seemingly unimportant situations. I have developed a&nbps;conscious and structured approach to situations that I had always considered to be important.
I recommend this course to all those who have seen everything as well as those who are only beginning to learn the ropes – you can't overestimate the power of higher awareness.

Initially, my expectations were based on what I had experienced during other training courses and workshops, namely the development of effective work tools (...). It turned out, however, that we would receive much more. Kasia and Darek led us through a group analysis process which provided me with an in-depth understanding of the underlying causes of my actions and other people's behavior.
During every workshop with Mediator, I expanded my level of awareness as a human being, manager, investor, father and husband. I participated in three Mediator courses.
When working with Mediator's trainers, you have to be ready for change, but in my case, every change was positive, and it enabled me to beat a crisis.
Every time we examine the nature of a problem, we diagnose its root causes. Mediator's trainers provide me with the relevant knowledge as well as tools for implementing the new skills in practice.

We have been working with Mediator on a myriad of projects over the past 5 years. All projects have been developed based on the results of an extended audit covering every area of operation (...). They were thoroughly consulted and modified to meet the specific needs of our business.
Various exercises and tasks were planned in between sessions, and the results were discussed in joint effort. All courses had highly attractive content and form which built the participants' trust and involvement. Our staff members found the learned skills to be highly useful not only in the workplace, but also in their personal lives.
Mediator's trainers are extremely flexible and innovative, and they swiftly respond to any changes that arise during the project. The communication process was always open, and Mediator's trainers and consultants were always available during the training and in between sessions.
