Make your
projects fly!
Strategic Sparring, Coaching
& Project Development
by Malgorzata Goraczek
Having a great idea is easy. Making it fly is the real challenge.

That's where I come in.
Through strategic sparring, systemic coaching, bold questions and hands-on project development, I help founders, teams and organisations turn ambitious ideas into viable projects and ventures.
From challenging assumptions, exploring new perspectives to shaping strategies and finding the right path forward.

Ways to work with me
Strategic Sparring
Move forward: stronger ideas, fresh perspectives and a strategy you believe in!
Got a challenging idea, a strategic decision to make or a project that needs a fresh perspective?
Challenge your assumptions, rethink possibilities and trust both your gut and your brain. Together, we'll explore opportunities, sharpen your vision and find a way forward that makes sense for you.
Whether it's innovation strategy, project direction or navigating the funding landscape, I bring critical thinking, honest feedback and hands-on experience to the table.
What we can work on:
  • Sharpen your vision to strenghten your business concept.
  • Challenge assumptions and uncover new perspectives.
  • Explore opportunities and validate strategic options.
  • Build a roadmap for action.
Ways to work together:

  • Tailored strategic sparring packages, including funding strategy and application preparation support.
Pricing based on scope and needs.
Business Coaching & Mentoring
Think bigger, make better decisions and turn amibition into action!
Building something new is rarely a straight path. Systemic business coaching helps you define your goals and develop realistic steps to achieve them. It goes deeper. You understand yourself better, recognise your strengths and challenges, and explore how your environment, relationships and opportunities influence your journey. You develop solutions that fit who you are, where you want to go and the reality you operate in.
Ways to work together:
  • Individual coaching sessions
  • Tailored coaching packages

Bring real-world innovation into the room!
I work with founders inside innovation programmes as mentor, evaluator and expert, combining strategic thinking, systemic coaching and practical experience from innovation ecosystems and hands-on project work.
Ways to work together:
  • Hourly mentoring and expert support for innovation programmes
  • Tailored mentoring packages
Pricing based on scope and needs.

Project Development
From bold ideas to projects ready to take off!
Have an ambitious idea but need someone to help make it happen?
Turning an idea into a viable project takes more than a good concept. It takes fresh thinking, a clear strategy, the right partnerships and someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves.
That's where I come in. Working hands-on with organisations and teams, I help develop new projects, initiatives and programmes. From shaping concepts and building partnerships to developing strategies, exploring financing options and preparing for implementation. I enjoy the challenge of turning complexity into clarity, connecting ideas and people, and building something new from the ground up.

Ways to work together:
  • Project development assignments.
  • Interim support during project initiation and set-up.
  • Tailored collaboration based on scope, responsibilities and deliverables.
Pricing based on scope and needs.

  • If you want a shortcut to your dream investor, there is no way around Małgorzata, because: Her expertise, friendly but challenging manner combined with a good network and many helpful suggestions is THE shortcut. We had several sessions together and thanks to her we discovered many pitfalls and red flags that would otherwise have cost us a lot of time and perhaps even our suitable investor. An absolute recommendation!
