Testimonials
Govind Pai, PhD
I have known Dr. Natalia Bielczyk since August 2020. Natalia is a qualified computational and cognitive neuroscientist, a forthright communicator with entrepreneurial talent and the drive to support her clients in making their vision a reality.
Her approach to coaching is bold, and one-of-a-kind. Her workshops are well-structured, insightful and engaging. The program comprehensively lays out the various career paths available to clients and participants from diverse educational and professional backgrounds.
Natalia is meticulous and perceptive to individual personality traits as well as the professional and workplace environment needs that best suit her clients. She is keen on putting in place a flexible and tailored approach for her clients. She excels in coaching doctoral candidates and PhD holders in particular, who often find the task of navigating through the job market with their niche domain knowledge daunting. As one of the early participants in the program, I have witnessed progressive refinement in both her coaching strategies as well as her workshop curriculum. Natalia’s never-say-no-to-be-of-assistance attitude makes her a facilitator for young talent on their path to self-discovery to foster both personal and professional success. Ontology of Value embodies this spirit of a life-long endeavor to become the best version of oneself and Natalia’s personal success is an inspiration for young entrepreneurial aspirants such as myself.
Laerke Krohne, PhD candidate
The career coaching I had with Natalia was extremely enlightening both with regards to my options on the job market, as well as my personal preferences, needs and wishes.
I had chosen the “Ontology of Value Test” for Industry professionals, followed by a one hour coaching session. I cannot believe how much we managed to cover within one session. The results from the test helped me to navigate and clarify my questions already prior to the coaching. Natalia was very well prepared for our coaching session (based on both my test results and resume), such that we could start straight away with digging deeper into some of the topics that hold me back, and what concrete steps I can take to move my career forward while keeping true to myself and my priorities. After the coaching, I had a clear idea about my next steps, and furthermore Natalia has provided me with a lot of concrete feedback and inspiration for the more practical aspects, such as updating my CV and LinkedIn profile.
Leo Tiokhin, PhD
I met Natalia at the end of my Postdoc contract. I knew that I wanted to leave academia but had no idea where to begin, what my competencies were, or for which types of jobs I’d be a good fit. Natalia was extremely helpful and generous with her time. Her guidance helped me to narrow down the path that I wanted to take and to feel confident that I could have a successful career outside of academia.
