Why Swander?

Hi, I'm Szilvia.

Psychologist. Coach. Founder of Swander. Curious questioner of the obvious.

I work with capable professionals who are used to figuring things out.

You've built the career. You carry responsibility. Other people come to you for answers.

But some questions are harder when you're standing right in the middle of them.

Is this still what I want?
What's next?
Why do I keep going round in circles on this?

I know that territory.

After 16 years of career in Big Tech and Financial Services, I was laid off. The obvious next move was another similar role.

Instead, I started to build Swander.

Since then, life has continued to ignore the conventional script. I've become a first-time mother over 40, stepped into my first Board-level role and continued building a business. All at the same time.

Too old for one? Too inexperienced for the other? Bad timing?

These questions did cross my mind - but I could overcome them.

I've learned that some of the best decisions begin when we stop asking what we're supposed to do and get curious about what actually makes sense for us.

That's the kind of thinking I bring to Swander.

Why Swander?

Because you probably don't need more advice.

You can Google it. Read another book. Ask AI. Ask five friends and get five different answers.

And still find yourself thinking about the same thing six months later.

Swander is for the moments when something matters enough to deserve better thinking.

A career decision. A change you keep postponing. An ambition you haven't acted on. Or simply the sense that something that used to work doesn't quite fit anymore.

I won't tell you what to do.

Instead, I'll bring psychology, curiosity, thoughtful challenge and over two decades of workplace experience to a conversation designed to take your thinking somewhere new.

We'll question the obvious. Notice what you might be missing. Explore possibilities. Trust the evidence and your intuition.

And then you'll do something with what you discover.

Sometimes that means a bold move. Sometimes it means going surprisingly small.

Your answers. Your choices. Your progress.
