Meet Jolanta Debek-Kozyra an architect, developer, and coach who turned decades of professional expertise into a mission to empower architects to become powerful business leaders.
Born in Poland and now based in Australia, Jolanta built a thriving career in architecture and property development, leading teams and creating innovative projects. Yet after thirty years in the industry, she felt a calling to do more to bridge the gap she saw between architectural education and real-world business success. “I realized architects needed more than technical skills; they needed business and leadership training to truly thrive,” she shares.
When she discovered Mastermind, Jolanta was seeking structure and community to help her transform her ideas into a scalable business. “I had taken so many courses before and felt overwhelmed I knew I needed a system,” she recalls. “Mastermind gave me that framework, step-by-step guidance, and the community to remind me I wasn’t alone.”
Through the program, Jolanta launched Architect2Entrepreneur Institute and created her first online course to help architects transition from employees to confident business owners. “It’s thrilling to watch my students go from frustrated and stuck to creating their own opportunities,” she says.
Now, Jolanta’s passion is helping others unlock their full potential, combining her architectural background with her entrepreneurial spirit. “Mastermind connected all the pieces for me; it showed me that transformation isn’t just possible; it’s scalable.”
Jolanta, your determination to reinvent your career and uplift an entire profession is extraordinary. We’re proud to celebrate your journey and the global impact of Architect2Entrepreneur Institute!
