Charisma: We practice and teach behaviors that play important roles in developing our clients' charisma, supporting them in gaining grace and charm when telling their stories.
Magdalena Mot, PhD, CMCS
Magdalena is a certified coach, experiential learning leader, educator, author, and a co-founder of The Other Storyteller. She is passionate about culturally integrated storytelling, a term she coined in 2024 with the launch of a fall webinar series offered through CERIC. She took her research further and implemented a new coaching system that focuses on storytelling techniques. With an academic background in cultural anthropology, her current research interests focus on cultural identities, storytelling during life transitions, and the invisible ties between one's cultural heritage and their professional development decision-making process. Magdalena empowers both organizations and individuals to move ahead using an authentic, step-by-step system that’s based on overlapping realities. Her work connects experiences gathered over 30 years of living, working, and studying in four countries and speaks directly to her core values of diversity, authenticity, and a drive to build inclusive communities.
Board Director at CERIC and ACE-WIL, an experienced educator, with over 14 years of teaching experience, Magdalena is able to place a unique spin on intercultural communication, career development, and life transitions in a global business ecosystem. Her holistic approach, tailored to each unique situation, has changed many lives.
