The meeting took place in a very intimate circle of few chosen people with exhibitory and private atmosphere that Wojciech Eichelberger could feel and get to know, accompanied by 14 “Defensive shields” on 3th of October. It was a moment of agitation, deep conversations, extremely warm gestures and understanding.

In an atmosphere of mystery that Shields deserve, I’ve heard words from Mr Wojciech that no one has ever told me before.

I’m grateful for SACREDNESS, dignity, seriousness, affection and meaning of this meeting – because what I was given remains. The feeling that fills me is briefly called – GRATITUDE.

I am thankful to everybody who joined and participated this special and specific meeting. I am thankful to those who made it possible to create the whole event – Justyna Rutkowska with her cycle of valuable seminars organized by VERSO.

I’m thankful to Wojciech Eichelberger.

CONFERENCE „DIVERSITY CHANGEMAKERS”

22th of September 2016 | Cracow

I was a special guest during a conference entitled “Diversity Changemakers” along with prof. Rosemarie Garland – Thomson (Emory University in Atlanta) organized by “Diversity Hub”. The conference was spared to practical solutions in managing variety in business. As a part of the conference I was leading a workshop “How to reforge weakness into creative work? – Change through art” and I attended a panel discussion with experts entitled “To pick human out in organization. What is slow management?” www.diversityhub.pl/event/changemakers

I’m happy that role of art was also spotted in business and that knowledge, awareness of one’s emotions, managing stress and putting borders is communicated by art and has a chance to find use in business psychology. During the conference we were considering dilemma hidden in ascertainment “I am a human being, not a human resource” striking a conclusion that this problem will stop being a dilemma when we will become more efficient by caring of mental health, learning and respecting our own borders and sensify to others’ needs in our career life.

WOJCIECH EICHELBERGER

Recommends seminar with AGATA NOREK

Agata about Wojciech Eichelberger’s recommendation:

“Life had me beaten not once, not twice. Yet it gifts me regularly with specific honors and privileges. This time I will be wiping my eyes for a long time…

A man whom I admire and look with respect from several years. A man whom books I’ve been reading since high school. A man whom I am learning till today, who brings clear answers to many of us and sensitize on stuff of things.

Wojciech Eichelberger singled out seminar “Integration of life – to better love, work and be” organized collectively with VERSO and recommends this event. Dreams come true.

I want to thank Justyna Rutkowska for inviting me to join in the seminar which means to stand in line with such superior personalities.”
