Here's my story in nine pieces: the experiences that shaped how I work.

Inga Knysh

My story in nine pieces

Coach, expat, former Communications Director, and visual artist bringing structure, creativity, and intercultural understanding into my work.

Certified Coach

Trained by the globally recognised Co-Active institute, one of the programmes that helped shape the coaching profession.

Expat

I've relocated four times across Russia, the UK, and the Netherlands.

Corporate Background

Before coaching, I built my career from Copywriter to Communications Director, working with WPP, GroupM, ABBYY, Kantar, and startups.

Trauma-informed

I work with care, presence, and choice, supporting people without forcing solutions or pushing beyond what feels safe.

Intercultural Focus

I care deeply about helping people feel understood across languages, cultures, and different life experiences.

Love My Job

I changed careers at 33 to become a coach, and I still feel grateful that I found work that feels meaningful and fully mine.

Entrepreneur

I run two businesses — as a coach and as a visual artist — combining strategy, growth, and creativity.

Remote & Worldwide

I work online with clients based in different countries and time zones, making coaching accessible wherever you are.

Rotterdam-based

I now live in Rotterdam with my husband and our dog, Yumi, and continue building my work from here.
