Hi there,
I got feedback that it’s been a while since I wrote something about my personal life. So, here are a few things that have been going on lately:
In April I turned 30 and hosted TWO birthday parties 🥳 One for my friends in Warsaw and one for my friends in London. Slightly off-brand for a professional introvert, but hey, these are the people that energise me!
I watched The Pitt and Heated Rivalry, and can’t decide which one I loved more. Great shows are back!
I read lots of books but most of them were 3/5, which has been disappointing. The ones that stood out were There Are Rivers In The Sky, Brooklyn & Long Island, The Wedding People, and The Song of Achilles (Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams would be perfect as Achilles and Patroclus, right??)
I’m going on a hiking holiday with my best friends next week. Can’t wait to be physically exhausted and then enjoy breathtaking-view-induced amnesia at the top! We’re going to Zakopane, Poland - any recommendations in that area? 🏔️
I have another hiking trip scheduled in August - very excited to visit Wales for the first time! Any recommendations near Betws-y-Coed / Snowdon?
Now, today’s piece is quite straightforward and YOU get to shine: this is Ask Me Anything edition!
There are two reasons why I want to do this:
First: digital marketers tell me I need to make sure people respond to this newsletter, every now and then. That will teach the virtual gods that my emails are not spam and that people WANT to engage with them. So, if you enjoy my emails (or anybody else’s newsletter!), there’s great benefit to hitting reply and sending even a very quick note back.
Second: I feel really honoured and privileged to have your attention and interest. If my work resonates with you, I’m sure there’s something you might be curious about. So, ask me anything - perhaps something about
what it’s like to run my coaching practice full time, or
quitting my marketing career, or
leadership advice for introverts, or
my thoughts on a challenge that you’re facing, or
a dilemma that you’re desperate to resolve?
I’d love to hear from you.
This would really help me tailor my upcoming writing and make sure I cover topics you’re interested in.
Thank you kindly 💛
Speak soon,
Karolina
