“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
(J.R.R. Tolkien)
I am encouraging my clients to ask the right questions.
We are the authors of our own stories. The real challenge of being a leader is to tell our stories in a way that they become compelling enough for others to use them as their own… As a companion to leaders and management teams,
I invite them to be more conscious and self-confident owners of their own stories, of their own lives.
With a unique background as an HR consultant, business leader & ex diplomat I have been always acting as an interface and interpreter between stakeholders of different mindset: business & HR; leaders & employees, white & blue collars… this allows me to create real value to my clients in building more people centric organisations for the sake of the ultimate business goals.

EXPERIENCE
I have been a consultant throughout my professional career. After graduating from ELTE as a psychologist – with a specialization in organizational studies – I started working as a PR consultant. For a couple of years I had been working as a talent management consultant at an international HR consulting agency. Competency modelling, and assessment/development centers aligned well with my ever-present interest in applied research. From talent management I have moved on to become a consultant – later research director – of a market leading Hungarian OD consultancy firm for 9 years. I had the opportunity to work with all kinds of clients in challenging situations. Now I lead a diverse professional practice including personal development, specialized experiential teaching, foresight engagements and the distribution of PCM® – Process Communication Model – in Hungary. I had been the Vice-President of Research at EMCC International – Europe’s largest professional body of coaches & mentors for 3 years, which volunteer role has provided me with an international leadership experience and a cultural perspective too.

Things I care about
EMCC – European Mentoring and Coaching Council
The EMCC exists to promote good and next practices in the fields of coaching, mentoring and supervision. As a professional body it has quality assurance and professional development on its main flags. I do support EMCC’s goals, and I follow the Global Code of Ethics as a professional. I have received my individual accreditation – Master Practitioner – from EMCC, and I have been working as a volunteer for EMCC for long time. I was the International Vice-President of Research of EMCC, taking care of the promotion of evidence-based practices in this profession, and now I work with the Hungarian board of EMCC to support the growth of quality coaching in Hungary.
PCM® – Process Communication Model
PCM® is a practically valid theory of personal interactions, providing practical tools for self-development and cooperation development. As a psychologist and consultant I have seen and got certified in a number of tools. For me PCM® is the one that offers all I need: amazing theoretical background, observable outcomes and easy application. I am a fan of PCM®. Currently I am leading the distribution of PCM® in Hungary , part of the European Partner Network. I am in charge with the „train-the-trainer” and „train-the-coach” programs in Hungary.
Zoltán Örkényi
Ex-Diplomat turned Leadership & Organisation Strategist.
I help leaders & organisations in translating between different worlds: cultures, functions, leadership perspectives and organisational realities to help organisations grow and perform better.
EXPERIENCE
I am a Leadership & Organisation Developer, Employer Branding Advisor, PCM® Trainer & coach and a former Diplomat with more than 15 years of international experience across consulting, corporate leadership and organisational development.
My expertise spans leadership development, organisational culture, employer branding, employee experience, change management and cross-cultural collaboration. I support organisations in building stronger leadership capabilities, more engaging employee experiences and healthier organisational cultures, while helping multicultural teams and organisations work more effectively together.
Throughout my career, I have worked with multinational corporations, SMEs, start-ups and non-profit organisations across a broad range of industries, including manufacturing, financial services, energy, FMCG, technology, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and shared service centres. My work has taken me across Central and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East.
Before founding my own consulting practice, I held leadership and consulting roles at PwC Hungary, Dentons and Morgan Stanley. At PwC, I led HR consulting projects and regional research programmes across the EMEA region, while at Morgan Stanley, I served as Vice President and People Program Lead, driving strategic people and organisational development initiatives in a complex international environment.

Krisztina Svéd
The most meaningful shifts I’ve seen didn’t come from big plans, but from honest conversations where people felt safe enough to be real.
I work with those who want to lead with more clarity and ease, not just in their roles, but in how they relate to themselves and others.
In our one-on-one work, I offer a steady space to slow down, untangle what feels unclear, and listen inward.
It’s not about fixing things quickly. It’s about being met in a way that makes new understanding and gentle change possible.
“It’s the relationship that heals.”

Eszter Kéri
I am a psychologist, coach, and HR professional. I support my clients in finding meaning,
growth, and a sense of fulfillment in their work.
EXPERIENCE
For more than 20 years I worked in multinational corporate environments, as an HR Business
Partner, People and Organizational Development Manager and HR Head responsible for five
CEE countries. I have led change management and organizational transformation projects,
facilitated leadership trainings and international Development Centers, and supported
leaders through team coaching processes.
In recent years, I have been working independently with companies on topics including
mental health, psychological safety, while also supporting individuals in employee assistance
programs. I provide psychological consultation and coaching processes, mainly applying a
cognitive behavioral therapy approach.
A special area of my professional interest is the challenges faced by women leaders. For
several years, I participated in mentoring programs for female leaders, and I have been
volunteering for years at an association working against violence toward women. I believe it
is important for leaders to understand the broader context in which women work: the often
contradictory role expectations, the invisible biases present in society, and everything that
truly makes a workplace inclusive and psychologically safe.

Dorka Beke
For me, organisation development is an exciting shared journey. I work alongside individuals, teams and organisations as a facilitator, coach, trainer, thought partner and source of inspiration, supporting them in achieving their unique goals and aspirations.
I create a safe, trust-based learning environment where people can explore, reflect and grow. I ask questions, provide support, offer honest feedback, listen deeply and, when needed, challenge assumptions and encourage action. I believe that the potential for change and development exists within every individual and every team. The role of a skilled organisation development consultant, coach or trainer is to unlock and accelerate that potential, helping it translate into meaningful and sustainable results.
EXPERIENCE
I work as an organisation development consultant, supervisor, coach, team coach, trainer and mediator across both the corporate and non-profit sectors.
After earning my diploma in Organisation Development Supervision, Coaching and Team Coaching from IBS International Business School, I established my own consultancy practice. Initially, I focused on individual, group and team supervision and coaching processes, later expanding my work to training and mediation assignments across a wide range of organisations.
Over the years, I have collaborated with several leading organisation development consultancies. At Grow Group, I was actively involved in coach and team coach training programmes while facilitating individual coaching, team coaching and supervision processes. Later, I joined ValueTeam, where in addition to coaching engagements, I delivered a broad range of training programmes, including leadership development, innovation and creativity, communication and conflict management, team leadership, and emotional and social intelligence development.
Alongside organisation development, my professional interests include family and couples therapy, mediation and divorce mediation, as well as art psychology. I also teach Art Psychology at the Metropolitan University.
Over the past two decades, I have worked with nearly one hundred organisations and an even greater number of individual clients.
My approach is integrative, drawing on a wide range of methodologies and frameworks, including Solution Focus, Transactional Analysis, Focusing, Gestalt, PCM (Process Communication Model), NLP, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Business Coaching, and leadership self-awareness and development methodologies.

Kata Beck-Bíró, PhD
While pursuing my doctoral degree, I began working as an organizational development consultant, trainer, and coach. I believe it is important to bridge the gap between theory and practice, as well as to collaborate with both young people and those with more experience; thus, I have remained active in both the academic world (BCE, Budapest, HU, and JKU Linz, AT) and the corporate sector ever since. My two main areas of focus are self-actualization and cross-cultural management. I encourage individual, team, and organizational clients in striving for self-fulfillment because I believe that where there is courage and trust, performance is also higher. I found cross-culture management very relevant lately, because performance can only grow when people from different backgrounds see each other as opportunities for learning. I am very grateful to be able to serve as a catalyst in all these development processes.
