Some of My Life Lessons
🦉 I learned a lot about the illusion of the end of history, and how wrong I was when I was 20, 30, 40, thinking I knew what I wanted in the future. Flexibility and the ability to adapt - that's my big ally.
🦉I have learned to distinguish between things I can influence and things I cannot influence.
🦉 I have learned how important it is to express true gratitude.
🦉 I have learned that the motivation to act is based on a personal system of values and a moral backbone
- and how important it is to know your values and treat them as a compass for life.
🦉 I've learned what a huge difference it is to have to do something, to do something out of obligation, to do something because I want to, or because I can.
🦉 I learned a lot about emotions, how to recognize them, how to react and how important emotional intelligence is.
🦉 I have learned where my limit of giving up on myself is.
🦉 I learned how important authenticity is and how valuable humility is.
🦉 I also learned that personal and professional life are the same life.

Customer Reviews
Katarzyna M.: Marketing Coordinator
Rysiek is, in one word, a TREASURE (after all, the name obliges!)
I came to Rysiek looking for many answers regarding my future career, focusing in particular on finding a path for myself. I was a bit lost, I felt that I was not in the right place and I was looking for a change, but I also couldn't answer the question of what else I could do and how to go about it.
From the first session, I knew I had found the right person. Already at the first meeting, Rysiek was able to touch strings in me that I didn't even know existed :) His extraordinary sensitivity and empathy make a person feel safe and thus not afraid to open up. Rysiek drew my attention to many important issues, each time doing it in an unusual, calm, attentive way. I know that without his support I wouldn't be here - I learned to 'stop' in difficult, sometimes inconvenient moments, realizing what is important to me, and I saw how with little steps you can build something big
- a change in yourself.
Thank you Rysiek for this wonderful journey into yourself, for your patience, peace, and sense of security that you build during each session. I am happy that I met you on my way and that you shared your wisdom, knowledge, and experience with me.
Agnieszka; HR Business Partner
Tomasz is an incredibly inspiring and very conscious Coach with a capital "C" who shows the meanders of life from a completely different perspective.
It turns out that when we look at our career, its possibilities and sum them up in relation to ourselves, a completely unexpected picture appears - a kind of "enchanted garden" of ourselves.
Tomasz is the one who can perfectly look inside another person, paraphrase what they feel and what effect it has on them. He helps them discover themselves, even deeply hidden.
Pascale Pouyet; Managing Director
Tomasz is a great professional! He mentored our Commercial Department of Makro chain of supermarkets for several years!
Always available to train and advise, he is also capable of mentoring different departments of corporate structures. I strongly advise working with Tomasz!
Venera Erzina; Chief HR Officer
Tomasz is a great strategist, stretching his team to think beyond the boundaries to drive the business toward and achieving more. This makes him an inspirational leader.
Rafał; Owner of an educational company
I remember my thought after my first meeting with Tomasz: THIS IS IT! From the very beginning I had the feeling that this man knew what he was doing and did it very well.
Working with a coach was something I thought about for a long time and I am glad that Tomasz was the person I met on my path.
His manner, care for the client, incredible knowledge built enormous trust in what he does, I took handfuls of it. Additionally, you have to pay attention to the interesting tools he has in his practice, they really work.
The atmosphere at the meetings allowed me to act very freely. Three words that define this coach are: PROFESSIONALISM, KNOWLEDGE AND CHARISMA.
Cornelia; Entrepreneur
I sincerely recommend working with Tomasz. During my 6-month journey, I learned a lot about running my own business, but most of all about myself.
Tomasz combined topics related to psychology and running a business in a very interesting way. It gave me the feeling that everything is in my head and nothing is impossible.
At the beginning of my journey, the support of such a mentor is invaluable. I felt safe enough to open up and share my doubts with Tomasz.
I am very grateful for this time! Working with Tomasz has given me a lot and I am convinced that it will be valuable for everyone :)
Anna K.; Category Manager, Buyer
I had the pleasure and honor to work with Tomasz on a project in Tajikistan.
Tomasz has extensive knowledge (which he willingly shares) in the field of purchasing, logistics, marketing, and HR.
He approaches every challenge or problem in an innovative way, looking at every topic from many different perspectives, thanks to which the impossible often becomes possible.
Tomasz is a leader and mentor who knows how to add new energy to the team and inspire them to achieve common goals.
Always committed, rational, consistent, open to others.
Margaret; Teacher
Tomasz is, above all, an exceptional person: empathetic, full of respect for others and giving a sense of security.
He has very high professional qualifications, yet he is constantly developing and broadening his horizons. I experienced Tomasz as a coach and mentor; I am extremely grateful for his strength and support, which had a decisive influence on changing the course of my life.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Tomasz, as he is a very inspiring person who cares for his clients with great passion and conscientiousness.
