Arthur Smolarkiewicz, the founder of Have The Edge, is passionate about consulting and counselling individuals and organizations to achieve their utmost potential. With over 20 years of experience, including roles as a business owner, CEO, COO, and CBDO, Arthur has assisted businesses and individuals across private, nonprofit, and public sectors. Throughout his career, he realized that failure often resulted not from a lack of technical solutions but from unaddressed individual mindsets and perspectives.
Following a personal and professional crisis, Arthur immersed himself in three years of personal development courses. Influenced by thought leaders such as Covey, Tracy, Peterson, Dispenza, Chopra, and others, he co-authored a book with Brian Tracy and participated as a speaker with Robert Kiyosaki. Drawing from these experiences, he developed his own techniques, combining insights from additional courses, CBT, psychology literature, and his personal journey, making him his first client.

I carried a heavy weight I couldn’t fully understand. My fears and self-doubts seemed deeply ingrained, like invisible chains holding me back. It wasn’t until I started counselling with Arthur that I began to uncover the roots of these feelings. Through this transformative process, I discovered that many of my limiting beliefs about myself stemmed from my upbringing. As the youngest in the family, I often felt overshadowed by my older brother’s strong personality and high expectations. While my parents loved me in their way, their methods of showing it often left me questioning my worth. Over time, I internalized these experiences, believing I wasn’t enough or that I had to constantly prove my value to others. Counselling helped me not only identify these patterns but also challenge them. Arthur gently guided me to see how these fears were not truths—they were stories I had been telling myself based on my childhood experiences. For the first time, I understood that I had the power to rewrite this narrative. This journey wasn’t easy. It required honesty, vulnerability, and courage. Today, I feel more grounded and empowered than ever. I understand that my worth isn’t defined by others’ expectations or comparisons. I have found clarity, peace, and a deeper connection with myself. To anyone considering counselling, I can wholeheartedly say it has been one of the most valuable decisions of my life. It opened the door to healing and allowed me to embrace the person I was always meant to be.
The primary advantage of working with Arthur which sets him apart from many other coaches is his holistic approach. He incorporates body, mind wellness, and fitness into his session coupled with is his experience in having worked companies ranging from startups to well established Fortune 500 companies. This approach supports a complete understanding of a clients needs and generally leads to much better sustainable results.
As a busy professional managing a fast-paced life and running my own business, I often felt overwhelmed. Stress, procrastination, and fears of failure became constant companions, leaving me stuck and questioning my ability to keep up. Working with Arthur changed all of that. Through the process, I gained a deeper understanding of why I procrastinated and how my fear of missing out was driving me to overcommit and underdeliver. Arthur introduced practical tools to manage my time effectively, set priorities, and stay focused on what truly matters. Most importantly, I learned to confront my fear of failure. Instead of avoiding challenges, I began to see them as opportunities for growth. This shift in mindset helped me regain confidence and approach my business and personal life with clarity and balance. Counselling didn’t just help me manage stress—it gave me the tools to thrive in the chaos of a demanding lifestyle. I’m now more productive, focused, and at peace, and I can’t recommend this process enough to anyone feeling stuck in the grind.
I’m Mark, and when I decided to pursue a new career and business, I found myself overwhelmed with self-doubt and the urge to give up when things got tough. I felt stuck, questioning if I had what it took to follow through on my goals and dreams. That’s when I turned to working with Arthur. Through this process, I learned to recognize and challenge the negative thoughts holding me back. Arthur helped me reframe my fears and taught me strategies to stay focused and motivated, even when progress felt slow. I gained tools to build perseverance and navigate the uncertainties of starting fresh. Counselling didn’t just help me stay on track—it reignited my belief in myself.
