Grzegorz

Prosze, Julio! Jesteśmy na Ty!

He opposed over the phone when I accidentally called him «pan» again.

Very sincerely. Directly but with no pressure. He is so approachable. So easy-going.

Wow. What a great encounter. Imagine? For us to meet in a year like 2021.

Design Thinking.Perhaps, the best class I took in 2021. The best class it was so easy to engage in.

- Do you know this guy?

Silence in aula A. Emotional Intelligence presentations. Me in front of 20 people trying to sound like one of those TEDx speakers while being nervous as hell.

And Grzegorz was my hero.

Some of my audience might have taken his classes, and I was curious to see what they have to say.

- He is… a teacher?

Yes. The most empathetic teacher I’ve ever met. And one girl who recognised Gregorz on my crappy power point slide agreed.

I could tell... by talking to you and reading your books, I start believe in unconditional love to everything in this world. Wonder. Curiosity. Freedom. Fearlessness. To write. I have never been so inspired to write until I met you. And it’s hard to explain why - but there is something about that openness, and excitement, and eagerness to discuss ideas and share… that just makes you do it. Do your thing, design your future and make it happen. And so I’ve been writing.

To leave a little sparkle of myrself in people who I come across. The sparkle I see in them. The sparkle you saw in me. Or so my intuition tells me. But yeah, Grzegorz. Your impulse echoed in me. And brought about an avalanche of exploration.

Moodnotes. Sketching with words. Journals. Drawing. Meditating. Or just… being present. It’s hard not to call the person who you see as a mentor «pan», you know? Even if they are being really friendly and chill. Break the convention / Złam konwencję Wear the colour / Noś kolor. Write / Pisz.
