About me

About me

I am Katalin Dömötör; optimistic, full of energy and a great deal of passion for Italy. Variety is my natural medium, I am at home in the world of possibilities, the glass is half full for me. I see the good in even the smallest things and immerse myself in the moment. I have been waiting like a messiah for the coming of mindfulness, which is the savior for me from the misunderstood necessity of multitasking; I believe that it is worth truly focusing on one thing at a time and doing it with all my heart and soul.

That’s why my business is called “Vivida” – because it’s lively, full of life, vibrant and cheerful, exactly how I operate. It’s perfectly personalized, energetic and unique, like a masterful espresso that not only wakes you up, but also makes you reinterpret things and bring about positive change! ☕

 

Why can I authentically help?

 

I didn’t follow a sterile, perfect path, I’ve been in deep water, (re)starting, losing, learning, developing and building myself over and over again in both my business and personal life. I know what it’s like when “life knocks you down”, and also how to come back from there with renewed vigor, stronger and more conscious. That’s why I know that you can find a way out of any situation if you have perspective, awareness and a little courage.

 

From the start…

 

I started my career as an economist, in the financial field, which suited me about as well as a vegan diet suits me. Fortunately, I realized in time that my real strength is not the fascination with numbers, but with people, so I switched to the field of human resources. Having outgrown the “personnel” era, I now support companies and individual clients as a strategic HR consultant, trainer and coach.

I have 15+ years of HR management experience behind me, in multicultural environments, at startups and large corporations alike. I have seen a lot: from stable concrete structures to the “let’s do everything quickly and at once” chaos. And as an HR professional, as a well-trained survivor, I have found workable solutions everywhere.

I have worked with international teams, built new HR processes, fine-tuned old ones, implemented corporate systems, and more than once I have been the person who convinced everyone after a meeting that new ideas not only work, but are necessary. I am particularly at home in strategic thinking, developing corporate culture, and motivating people – because I believe that a company can only be truly successful if its employees are also successful.

 

MY PROFESSIONAL “ARS POETICA”:

Why I don’t provide a “from the shelf-service” and why it will be good fo you, too

 

🛠 Personalized service – Because I believe that you are not a template, nor is your team a statistical data that fits into an Excel spreadsheet. That’s why I don’t have “Nescafé, 3-in-1 pre-packaged, “universal” solutions that work the same for everyone – because spoiler: I don’t think they work. Instead, you get what’s really for you, and what will really work for you.

🎯 Practice-oriented solutions – It is a scientific fact confirmed by British scientists (if not, but in my experience it certainly is) that a person does not develop by looking at PowerPoint slides, but by trying, living, experiencing. That’s why I don’t have boring, passive training sessions – instead, I have exciting, real-life exercises that are guaranteed to be more effective than a multi-hour monologue on an overcrowded slide.

🌍 Broad professional perspective – Over the past 20 years, I have been in small companies, large corporations, startups, the heart of multinationals, and agency chaos. If there is an HR situation, chances are I have solved it at least once. I blend this experience like a divine coffee according to the time of day: using the best ingredients, always tailored to the given situation.

👀 Openness – New situations and challenges are not stressful for me, but an opportunity for a new perspective. I believe that if we truly understand the situation and the people, we can find better and more sustainable solutions – and in the process, we can even learn something new from each other.

💡 Creativity and Diversity – I am not the “we’ve been doing it this way for twenty years” type. If something works, I improve it, if something doesn’t work, I reform it. If a process has become so fossilized that it’s almost a museum piece, I help to give it new momentum and move it out of the usual patterns.

🤣 Humor and good vibes – Because life is too short to sit in deadly serious meetings, while a team building session is as fun as a dentist’s waiting room. I believe that a light-hearted atmosphere is not only more pleasant, but also more effective – because a team in a good mood is always more productive than one operating in a tense atmosphere.

 

I believe that:

✅ There are multiple good solutions for every situation

✅ Human relationships can work wonders in a partnership

✅ Change is not time-bound – it can start at any time

✅ With a conscious attitude, we can not only survive, but also reshape our lives

If you are ready to discover new perspectives, change and gain momentum – then I am here and let’s see how to do it.

Kata is very practice-oriented. She feels comfortable using any tools. Without telling me the solution, she makes me discover and makes me say things out. She brings the problem to the ground, so it’s not unsolvable anymore, I can work with it and Kata strengthens me along the way. Using tools as a “medium” brings the situation as well as the solution closer to me.
Kati
From our conversations with Kata, it was clear that she had been dealing and communicating with people for a long time. There is "power" in her. Her radio-buzzing voice can always be understood and it is always clear what she wants to say. She writes proportionately, beautifully. One who writes beautifully also has order in her head.

I look up to Kata for her determination, persistent manner, she knows what she wants. I feel safe with her, I can open up to her.
Zsuzsi
mom and entrepreneur
When we talked to Kata, it was like a loose, casual conversation, and then she suddenly asks something that stops the air and is really very relevant and thought-provoking. It was shocking to me how much she felt about my situation and the critical / important points I had to think about.
