What made you choose that career path?

What is your favourite quote?
Currently this quote by Walt Whitman:

Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long path before me leading wherever I choose.’

If you could buy anything at all and money wasn’t an issue, what would it be?
Everything that the closest to me would need.
What is your dream work?
Work that includes a challenge, is inspirational and pushes boundaries.
What brings out your inner child?
I am having problems reigning him in!
If you could have any TV box set, what would it be?
Anything narrated by David Attenborough.
Give one example of how you have been DARING in your life.
Dreaming everyday is DARING.
Give one example of how you have been MIGHTY in your life.
Coming to the UK at the age of 17 alone without knowing any English.
Name one thing you will achieve in the next year?
Letting go of my fears.
What song gets you on the dance-floor?
I am always on the dance floor.
If you had one day left on earth, what would you do?
Walk on my beach in Poland with my parents.
What did you love most about the ‘Art of Affirmations’ workshop?
The whole experience was incredibly uplifting and it helped me clarify my intentions. I found the meditation a particularly beautiful experience. The time just flew and I enjoyed myself very much, especially the creative vision board making exercise. A day with Katie makes one realise the power of ones thoughts and the impact affirmations have on our everyday lives.
The next Art of Affirmations Workshop is Sunday 27th May. Please check-out the ‘Workshop’ page on this web-site for more information. Look forward to seeing you there!
