Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kinga
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my own journey of resilience and personal growth. As a child, I was often criticized for my weight and faced constant bullying, but instead of allowing those experiences to define me, I used them as motivation to become stronger and continually improve myself. Every challenge taught me the value of perseverance, self-reflection, and determination. Those experiences shaped who I am today and continue to inspire me to help others recognize their own strength and potential.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
One of the best pieces of career advice I've ever received was that I should be speaking on stage and sharing my experiences with others. Another person encouraged me to write my story, reminding me that my journey could inspire and help people facing similar challenges. That advice gave me the confidence to embrace my voice, share my message, and use my personal experiences to make a meaningful impact.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to be patient and not rush the process. Take your career one step at a time, focusing on learning and mastering one skill before moving on to the next. You don't have to know everything at the beginning. Building confidence and expertise comes through consistent learning, experience, and a willingness to grow over time.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is helping people, especially women, believe in themselves and recognize their own potential. Too often, self-doubt holds talented individuals back from pursuing opportunities or taking the next step in their personal and professional growth. One of the greatest opportunities is empowering women to build confidence, trust their abilities, and realize they are capable of achieving success on their own.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The value that is most important to me in both my work and personal life is trust. I believe trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship, whether with clients, colleagues, family, or friends. Building and maintaining trust through honesty, reliability, and authenticity creates stronger connections and allows people to work together with confidence and respect.
