If you’re in a place in life where you’re unhappy, if you feel that you’re only scratching the surface of true potential or maybe even if you are lost and you have got no idea what to do, you’ve come to the right place. It’s tricky at first to get the ball rolling and gain the momentum but with the right guidance and nurturing, it’s just a matter of time. If you put in your time, energy and effort, you might soon understand what you're meant to do in this life and then… the real fun begins! I consider myself a guy with a big heart, a guide and mentor to these who seek, a traveller and one hell of a truth & thrill seeker. I have tried to suppress my potential and hunger for life for over 25 years. I failed at that. Being mediocre and full of fear wasn’t my thing. I embraced it, started reorganizing myself, and decided to begin befriending my fears that held me hostage. I knew that I needed to uncover a solution of tapping into my potential and I went right into it, just to name a few, I: - travelled over 25 countries across 4 continents; - trained Muay Thai in Thailand to get over my fear of standing up to people; - set a Guinness World Record at arranging a deck of playing cards memorized underwater on a single breath of oxygen to get my memory to work again and calm my fear of diving; - endured a 12 hour physical “crucible” led by Navy Seals (Sealfit 20X) in Temecula, CA to push beyond my physical and mental limits to see what I'm capable of. Over my 10 years of professional experience of working in organizations on projects, products and change management, within teams from 5 to 120 people, I have realized that entrepreneurship and working with people is my call. I also find important to mention that for the past 8 years I'd been working with different mentors, coaches and therapists (conventional and non-conventional streams) that helped me get to the depths of myself thus I'm now equipped to help others do it. Kinda "I"ve been there, I"ve done that".

10.May 2023If you do not want to be challenged, grow, or work on yourself, do not speak with Krzysztof! Krzysztof will put your ideas and actions to the test. Yes, he assigns you homework that you will dislike but it will help you grow. So, take small steps toward the 2.0 version of yourself. Know yourself, doubt yourself, do it anyway, and discover you can do it. I really like the mentoring style. It may not be for everyone, but I will continue to benefit from his direct mentorship.
