Once upon a time I've been a lawyer.
But then communications won.

So far that was a beautiful nine years journey (and ongoing) with teams of different types and scales.

Upon this road, I did my best to “boost” myself as a creator and team leader by learning how to tell &listen to stories, to trust&build trust in return, how to collaborate&delegate. That was a story about being brave where needed, making hard decisions, finding alternative scenarios (when smth goes in the way not expected).

A pretty “eclectic” work path brought me an understanding of how different types of organizations live, develop, and change. I’ve got a chance to “feel” the spirit and vibes of the startup world, nonprofits, public sector, impact tech, agencies field, and social projects. This mix stayed in my mind, heart, and soul to solve puzzles of further challenges. 

Using emotional intelligence, empathy, and respect as main working tools.
