2024 was a year of significant change. Since August 2022 (when we closed Project: People), I took a two-year sabbatical. I didn’t work much during that year, and I decided to come back to work in September 2024. So, as you can imagine, I had time to explore new skills and new areas of my life, and to discover what I’d like to focus on for the years to come <3

New skills

I had ample time to learn new skills. In contrast to my work in previous years, I explored creativity and vulnerability through art and literature. I learned sketching, writing poetry, and writing essays:

• I wrote more than 300 poems. Here’s a small example 🙂

• I learned sketching, both manually and digitally (using an Apple Pencil on an iPad). Here are the results after 3 months of learning.

• I wrote almost 450 pages of essays and notes.

Work / Projects

Despite working less than 400 hours this year (approximately 2.5 months of regular work), my financial results were higher than in 2023. This experience forces me to think about work efficiency, and how much can be achieved when focusing on results, not on hours worked. However, I wanna work more this year – would you like to work with me? Reach out!

I launched a new brand, CIRCMODEL.com, which explores new business models and frameworks for AI-based organizations. I also expanded my university work, taking on new roles as a lecturer, course creator, and study visit partner.

Public Speaking

Even though I didn’t speak as much this year, I:

• Gave 5 talks at conferences.
• Made 4 appearances in vlogs/podcasts.
• Led 2 open workshops.

My mosor.pl brand also became a media partner for the AI<>BA Conference for the first time! (wow! wanna more of that in 2025 🙂 ).

Charity

I participated in two mentoring programs:

• Be visible in IT by Splunk and Women in Technology (mentoring and workshop)
• Przedsiębiorcze Krakowianki by Mamo Pracuj (mentoring and panel discussion)

I also continued my own private mentoring program—which expanded to include three additional mentors and mentees this year (thank you Aleksandra Hatala Stypka, Mariusz Smenżyk, and Dominik for joining me on this mentoring path!). I also gave two talks with my mentee, Zuza Patulska—I couldn’t be prouder! ❤️

Private goals

A few key metrics:

• I lost more than 40 kg over the last two years.
• I traveled quite a bit—including Finland and Japan for the first time!
• I saw more than 40 films at the cinema.
• I read countless books—I didn’t even keep track! XD

2025 seems promising! Let’s see what new doors and opportunities it brings. XD
