Małgorzata Jakubicz

RECOMMENDATIONS The corporate world has built a stereotype of a leader – strong, charismatic, always right. The pace of life in the 21st century limits the time for reflection and development in harmony with its character and values. Małgorzata combines business and managerial experience with coaching knowledge. This unique combination makes you take care of your personal development and improve efficiency at work during the process. In my case, discovering the key values I follow and creating a life mission has allowed me to become a more effective leader who leads in harmony with each other. Whether you are a novice manager or a leader with a lot of experience – Małgorzata will adapt the process to your needs and help you take the next step in development. Andrzej Sadecki Country Selling Manager , IKEA Group Gosia and I went through the process of creating the mission of life and completed it a dozen months ago. I will not be very high-flying as I will say that the meetings with Gosia were for me the biggest change in my life, both professional and private. Thanks to this holistic and profound process in my analysis, I understood what kind of leader I am today and what I want to be. After a few months of work, I definitely raised my self-esteem and strengths as a leader, but I did not lose humility and constant reflection on the impact of my actions on others. Today I am a leader who listens much more, works for others and is more successful in achieving goals than before. The results of cooperation with Gosia are very tangible, because in my global organization I work today in a high-leading national position and fulfill not only as a sales leader, but also as a leader for people. In leadership, it is important to be honest with self, self-aware, human, courageous in being self, and I rediscovered all this as I went through this process with Gosia, where there was a lot of laughter, even more reflection, but also tears of emotion. I recommend working with Gosia to any leader who wants to understand his role, the power to influence others, but also to anyone who wants to discover his mission of life, which will be a compass in decision-making in his professional and private life. Agnieszka Maćkowiak Country Business Leader, IKEA Group Everyone has their own... and the way, and the mission. Margaret invited me to explore it. Was I ready for this journey and the accompanying emotions and experiences? Certainly not. Who among us is ready to "change internally" and delve into ourselves, while our daily life itself is filled with a mass of sensations and intensity of action. This was further compounded by a lack of faith in the possibility of changing the current state of affairs and the words "certainly not yet at this point". And yet, when the process started, I wanted to last as long as possible. Once upon a time, I wasn't so close to myself. Thanks to the proposed exercises, intriguing homework and often used metaphors, I believed in my potential and "regained" confidence in myself. Professionally, I introduced a large amount of peace and harmony to my work, while constantly presented dynamic form of task execution and cooperation with others. A new dimension has become known for "respect" not only for others, but also for oneself. I now learn to interpret the word "leader" every day, more often "stopping", listening and looking at others. The result of the process is a specific internal "signpost" indicating the next concrete steps that I am already taking when experiencing and traversing "my path". If you have missed yourself, want to look at yourself and the way you act from a different perspective, or just feel that this is the time for the next chapter of your life, I encourage you to take this adventure. Agnieszka Witkowska HR Business Partner, Coach, Senior Manager, PwC Polska I have always believed that a good leader can only be a conscious and mature person. Someone with whom you can discover your true talents and develop for the sake of yourself and your organization in a sense of security. Like a good parent who serves as an example to a child, but also opens the door and invites you to explore the world, so a good leader feels the greatest satisfaction when his team achieves successes and its individual members gain new competences and experiences. Sessions with Małgosia allowed me to discover and better understand my natural leadership talents and predispositions. It was a wonderful journey deep into myself as a human being and as a leader that allowed me to integrate these two areas and take care of their harmonious development. And the life mission worked out with Małgosia helps me to change the world for the better. Dorota Banaszak Customer Experience Planning Leader, IKEA Group Let's be honest, self-development is a very hard and endless job. Highs and lows. In addition, it is not easy to meet someone like that on your way, who would guide you and support you, facing your limitless ambitions and dreams, while fighting against the daily routine, laziness, eternal timelessness. Gosia is a development leader, passionate about deep contact with people, who with baked goods on her face is looking for ideas for you to make (make) a career. A career like you want, though you may not know what you want. We have gone down the path of my leadership together as head of department. Our (working group) was diverse in almost every way (unless the only link can be called passions for sustainable development, besides everything we had different). Many things surprised me, first of all, what I learned about myself and how I function at work, but also in everyday life. I had to name my weaknesses and answer the question of whether I really want them to keep limiting me, or whether I prefer to build on strengths. In addition, I programmed myself internally the next steps. I am glad that I allowed Gosi to support me. If it wasn't for her polite stubbornness, I would still run a little like a hamster on the carousel. And look, I'm doing pretty well.. Katarzyna Dulko-Gaszyna Sustainability Manager Every day at work, in life we are a LEADER. Many of us strive to be a good manager. It was thanks to Gosi that I was able to discover and develop the skills that everyone so needed in today's dynamic world, where nothing is certain. Self-awareness of my talents, but also of weaknesses, working on them and strengthening values and competences has resulted in me making a huge change and moving forward. Exactly this knowledge, which I practiced with Gosia for many hours, weeks, months, was included in the book "LEADER IN SNEAKERS" to which I invite you very much. Łukasz Smolarski www.biznesmisja.pl Leadership?! ... it's a very good understanding and understanding of yourself. It is also continuous development, self-development, gaining confidence and, on the other hand, listening and drawing conclusions. But leadership is all about AUTHENTICITY and living in harmony with one another, respect for others, trust and understanding. The leader is a bit like a watchmaker. He needs to know the design of the clock and combine all the elements to create one common whole. If the leader understands that people in a given group have to work together, despite many differences, have confidence in each other and have a chance to develop, then there is a chance of achieving a result, often above average. I encourage you to reach for the book "Leader in sneakers". Małgosia writes with great lightness about her experience as a leader, but also about what transformation she has undergone. There are valuable tips for everyone. Magdalena Jasak Warehouse coordinator in FULFILLMENT, INTEGER GROUP SERVICES SP Z O.O. (InPost) Working with Margaret as part of my development, I had the opportunity to stop and detach myself from everyday duties, so as to explore my known and unknown talents. This time, full of reflection and self-knowledge, I would call it a great inner journey that has resulted in self-awareness. It highlighted the strengths and allowed us to explore areas that, thanks to clear guidance or tools learned in the process, can be improved and developed. It was self-awareness and better self-knowledge that was the biggest driver for me this year, significantly affecting the quality of life in the private and professional spheres. During my journey with Margaret, I learned to understand others even better, but also to understand how my words and behavior affect the other person. I have become a confident and self-conscious leader, leading my life and career. Thanks to working together, I made the necessary decisions and actions that resulted in the promotion and change of the current career path. This change has rekindling the fire of desire and the need for further development that is in each of us, which is why I continue my long-ago journey with my best mental companion, Margaret.
