“I’m a biochemist at a large international pharmaceutical company. I love my job, but I know my organization is facing changes. I was looking for someone who could see me from the outside and help me identify and then articulate my skills in a pragmatic way - one that I could turn into additional professions. Today, thanks to Ania’s help, I not only sell my hand-painted scarves on 3 continents, but I also run workshops for youth at a private high school.”

"I save lives during the day. That's the simple version. The complicated version is that I'd come home from a 14-hour shift and spend an hour writing notes about the hotel I'd stayed at last weekend - what they got right, what they didn't, what I'd change if it were mine. I've done this for years. My wife thought it was charming but pointless.

Then one day Ania encouraged me to actually sent one of those reviews to the hotel. Unsolicited. Very detailed. They wrote back within a week, asking if I had more. That was the moment I thought - wait, people will pay for this?

What I was looking for was someone who knows how to connect dreams with the reality of actually building a business. A colleague who'd been through Ania's process three years earlier recommended her. I notice things other guests don't. I think in systems - probably the ER trained me for that. Today I run a small practice called J’s Restaurant Tips. I do guest-perspective audits for hotels and restaurants. Friendly, specific, things they can actually act on.

It's not my main income. But it's real. And honestly? For the first time in my life, I don't have to choose between the doctor and the food obsessive. Both get to exist."

“I work at one of the so-called ‘Big Four’ firms and for the past few years, I’ve felt tremendous frustration, as if I’ve missed something. I’m approaching fifty, and it often seemed to me that it was too late for changes. On the market, I’m perceived mainly through the lens of consulting. Last year, thanks to collaboration with Anna and her team, I managed to develop a new work model - or rather, a new way of life. I moved from Wrocław to the seaside, where I work 50% time at my previous company. I devote the other half to developing, with my wife - a Germanist with a passion for sewing - an eco-friendly business related to children’s clothing. Our target market is Germany. Additionally, every Thursday, I develop my communication skills through Toastmasters. I dream of becoming a mentor for young people.”
