Hello! I'm Adrienn. I work with women, immigrants, and organisations that supports them to build the skills, wellbeing and community they need to move forward in their personal and professional lives. I help individuals gain practical tools for overcoming challenges, while partnering with organizations to enhance their teams and elevate their programs, ensuring they are more effective in supporting women and immigrants.
With over 15 years of experience across business, consulting, social impact, and education, I’ve worked with individuals to rebuild their lives in new countries, overcome setbacks, and pursue opportunities that align with their goals. I’ve also partnered with organizations to help them transform their teams and support their client programs, ensuring they provide practical, relevant support in ways that drive real progress.
My journey hasn’t been straightforward (but, whose is?). Growing up in a small town in Hungary, I was the first in my family to attend university, carrying the weight of internal and external expectations. At the time, my idea of success was working and living in Budapest (our capital city), but when I got there, I felt stuck - constantly busy but disconnected from what truly mattered to me.
Moving abroad forced me to start over in ways I hadn’t expected. It was a process of unlearning, adapting, and rebuilding, facing challenges like cultural shock, loneliness, and imposter syndrome. Therapy and coaching helped me break that cycle, and ultimately, led me to this work.
​
​Now, as a mental health coach (studied with Light University powered by the American Association of Christian Counselors in 2020 and 2024/2025), I combine my lived experience with my professional expertise to guide individuals strengthen their personal and professional foundations. For organisations, I provide capacity-building programs, leadership development, and strategic support to create stronger teams and better-designed programs for women and immigrants.
In 2023, I founded Impact Waves to bridge the gap between education and the world of work. Our programs go beyond knowledge sharing: they help participants build the self-leadership, career skills, and emotional resilience needed to confidently move towards their futures.
During my career, I've had the privilege of supporting over 700 individuals and multiple organisations - supporting people in building new careers, launching businesses, regaining confidence, and making informed decisions about their next steps.
