Client Experiences
We had the pleasure working with Magda for a DEI session at Everphone. The preparation of the session as well as the workshop itself were insightful and eye opening. We had very much fun working with Magda and would book her again. Highly recommendable!

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Magda. She facilitated a workshop for our community at Impact Hub Berlin and I believe this participant quote says it all: "I don’t think I’ve attended something so positive and warm before! The space you created for everyone was perfect and I’m so grateful to have been there ❤️". Thank you Magda!
Vera Kämpfer, Head of DEI Ecosystem, Impact Hub Berlin
Magda was one of the speakers in AMS DEI week in September 2022 and opened our minds and hearts. She honestly described her transition journey of becoming a women. It is an amazing story, a true inspiration of individual affirmation. We are super grateful and honored. Magda, thank you for sharing your story and answering our questions! You are brave and beautiful! I'm sure that thanks to you there are more LGBTQ+ Allies.

Magda was our guest speaker at our 2023 Coming Out Day event in October, the central theme of which was ‘Creating an inclusive workplace’. It was a real pleasure to have her with us and hear her valuable insights into how we can make our workplace more inclusive for our transgender colleagues and create safe spaces for everyone. Thank you, Magda, for sharing your personal story and experiences with us and inspiring us to do better every day!

Magda was a guest speaker during one of the Pride events organised by the Spectrum Employee Resource Group. Her amazing energy and openness to share her journey and story is truly inspiring. She had a great approach when giving the presentation on supporting trans employees in the workplace in English, was open to questions and did a wonderful job at explaining the obstacles one might face when transitioning. She has an ease at making human connections and finds great ways of explaining trans issues for people with very little background in the subject.

Magda was an invited speaker at a FLINTA* Panel hosted by Zalando for Berlin Pride Month 2023. Magda was a true professional during the organisation process, offering her insights and valuable experience when deciding on the topics we would discuss at the event. During the panel itself Magda was very generous to share with the large audience her personal experiences and learnings which she delivered in a very clear and engaging manner. During the networking after Magda chatted with many people and even started the dancing to our live DJ! THANK YOU again Magda for your contribution and being YOU, I hope we can collaborate again in the future!

I met Magda when she gave a speach @Stuart focused on how we as cis people can be better allies for our transgender folks at the workplace. It was not only very informative and engaging but also helped me understand how world looks like through Magda’s lens. After that, Magda agreed to meet with me and record a short follow-up answering the questions we did not have time to address during her main speach so we could share it with the rest of the company. As a member of LGBTQ+ community I found working with her eye opening in many areas. I’m so excited to see where she will get next! I can recommend working with Magda and inviting her to your company if you wish to raise awareness on various queer topics and how we can all work to make tomorrow better than today ✨

As Magda said: “we are all ;earning to be inclusive” and listening how Magda has approached to the engagement session with approximately 160 participants joining virtual session was unique experience. Magda designed the session in a very comprehensive way, mixing her personal story and inclusive tips on supporting trans employees in the workplace. The session was deliver in English and the way how Magda created human connections encouraged participants to ask questions to learn and understand transgender issues.
