Alex Bakowski

Human Performance Expert. I help people do their best work and live better lives.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the business arena. A career highlight? Leading a team across five continents simultaneously and being told it was so good, they didn’t want to go back to the real world.

I’ve got credentials that count: I’m an ACC with the International Coaching Federation, a Certified Flow Coach with the Flow Centre, and I hold multiple degrees to boot. But that doesn’t stop me from still finding joy in a psychology textbook and a coffee in bed on a Sunday morning.

I’m evidence-based. No fluff. No BS.
I’m all about performance that brings the head and the heart together in action, so high-achieving women can find flow and be at their best.

I entered the workforce bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, chasing the promise of meaningful work. But what I found was people sleepwalking through their days like zombies. Corporate values that meant nothing. Success defined by nodding along.

So I went on a quest to figure out why work felt so lifeless and what it would take to make it better. That journey led me to walk away from my senior executive role (and all the perks that came with it) to start my own business and do the work I was meant to do.

It’s all about making work better.
Because when it is, we perform better, our lives are better, and our world is better.

My clients don’t call it the ‘Alex Effect’ for nothing.
