Every stage of my career taught me something my clients benefit from today.
I don't believe that a good mentor is made by diplomas and certificates alone. I believe a good mentor is made by experience, by responsibility for the decisions taken, and by the ability to draw conclusions from every stage of one's career.
My professional path began a long way from the beauty industry.
Four perspectives.
People
Working as a business coach, I supported business owners in developing their skills and reaching their goals.
That was when I understood that what usually limits a company is not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of self-belief, chaos, postponed decisions and fear of change.
I still draw on that experience in my mentoring today.

I began my professional path as Executive Assistant to the Board at Balticon Sp. z o.o., taking part in decision-making, sales development and team building.
At ZooKarina I started as Assistant to the President and was then promoted to Sales and Staff Development Coordinator. I was responsible for team development, sales processes and onboarding.
That experience showed me that the greatest potential of any company is its people. Even the best product will not succeed without a properly developed team.
Business
My first business of my own was a salon. Later came further brands, a training centre, an online shop and projects that each demanded a completely different way of managing.
I built a company from the ground up, making the decisions that business owners face every day.
That is why in mentoring I don't talk about solutions from books. I show solutions I have implemented and tested in practice myself.
More
Before I founded my own company, I saw management from the inside. That was when I understood that a thriving company is not a matter of chance. It is the result of a considered strategy, consistency and responsibility.
Building my own brands and an international industry event showed me in turn that a strong brand does not appear by chance. It comes from consistency, quality and relationships.
Education
As a teacher at a post-secondary school and as a trainer, I saw that even the greatest knowledge has no value if we cannot pass it on simply and clearly.
That is why my clients don't receive complicated theories. They receive specific solutions they can put in place straight away.
More
That teaching experience shaped the way I build training programmes and the whole of my educational work under the GK Academy name.
Health
Gaining a medical education and working as a nurse, I understood that professional success cannot come at the cost of health.
That is why my work does not focus on financial results alone. I help people build a business that also brings calm, a sense of security and satisfaction in life.
More
And then came my own experiences with health. They reminded me that even the best-growing business has no value if its owner has no strength left to enjoy it.
Since then I have looked at growth differently. I don't believe in entrepreneurship built on constant rush. I believe in building a company that gives independence, a sense of security and room for a life.
My path. Your gain.
Education
My experience is founded on practice. My growth is founded on education.
Master's degree in pedagogy Career and personal development guidance
Selected areas of education and qualifications

…and many others.
What this knowledge brings to my work
Pedagogy, career and personal development guidance, and knowledge of human resource management help me recognise potential, resources and barriers instead of handing out ready-made prescriptions.
Knowledge of economics, accounting and controlling helps me base decisions on data rather than on intuition alone.
My pedagogical preparation and years of working with people let me translate knowledge into practical action.
Growth does not end with a diploma.
I am currently continuing a Master's degree in nursing, to understand people even better - including how health, physical condition and everyday functioning affect motivation, energy and readiness for change.

Brands and projects
Each of these undertakings gave me different experience in building a brand, in sales, in management and in working with people.
GK Academy
All my educational work runs under this name: programmes, training and the instructor path.

The place where my treatment practice still continues.
Today I look at a company from several perspectives.
The same difficulty can have completely different sources. Sometimes it lies in strategy, sometimes in finances or in how work is organised. Other times in the team - or in the person running the company.
That is why I don't start with a solution. First I want to understand what is really happening in the company and where it came from.
Only then is it possible to look for something that makes sense for this particular business owner.
I believe that…
…a brand is built over years, not with a viral post.
…trust is worth more than a thousand followers.
…a business should give you freedom, not take your health.
…a mentor does not lead you down their own path, but helps you see yours.
I am not a mentor for everything.
And I never will be.
If you are looking for someone who will promise you success in 30 days, I am not the right choice. If you expect ready-made formulas copied from others, the same applies.
But if you are looking for a partner who will help you look at your business strategically, put your actions in order and grow your brand in a way that fits you, I will be glad to walk that path with you.
