"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Karolina. Having witnessed her fantastic volunteering work with mentees at W+G, I contacted her for career coaching. We’ve only had one session so far, but I can already recommend her 100%. In only one session, she helped me decide exactly what I want to do next and suggested a roadmap that we will be working on in our upcoming sessions. If you need a experienced, supportive, and effective guide for your GIS professional career, Karolina is the best."

"I’ve long valued Karolina Lehotska within our Women + In Geospatial community, but our recent coaching session took that appreciation to a new level.
What truly sets Karolina apart is the rare balance of industry expertise and genuine empathy.
She didn't just provide a 'standard' CV critique; she took the time to listen to my specific doubts and career goals, offering tailored advice that only someone with her professional background could provide.
We walked through my CV together, and her guidance gave me the clarity I needed to rewrite it into a sharp, strategic document that finally reflects my path and true value.
I walked away with renewed confidence and a set of precious tips.
She also says something memorable: you are the CEO of your career, and you know better than anyone your achievements along the way.
If you are looking for a coach who truly understands our field and cares about the growth of others, I cannot recommend Karolina highly enough.
Thank you, Karolina."

"I’m truly grateful for the time and guidance Karolina shared with me.
As a Development Planning student exploring GIS, I’ve sometimes felt uncertain about my path. Speaking with Karolína brought a lot of clarity and practical direction.
What stood out most was her ability to break down complex career steps into clear, actionable advice. From building a strong portfolio and leveraging volunteer experience, to approaching networking and job searching strategically, her insights were both practical and encouraging.
Some key lessons I’m taking forward: Start building a portfolio early, (progress matters more than perfection) Treat volunteering and mapping contributions as real experience Learn by doing and share your work consistently Be intentional with networking, visibility and engagement matter Consider onsite or hybrid roles early to accelerate learning
I especially appreciated her honesty, clarity, and willingness to support early-career professionals like myself. I would highly recommend connecting with Karolína if you are looking for guidance in GIS careers and professional development. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn, and looking forward to applying these lessons step by step."
