Ola - on becoming and courage journey
๐Journey: Poland -> New Zealand, England and Germany-> Switzerland
Aleksandra (Ola)Potrykus-Majewska comes from Poland and she is an expat from 12 years old. During her lifetime the shy girl found her way to grow into a courageous and society changing woman. She is a mom and a wife, a dog owner and an entrepreneur. She is co-founder of WeWent.com and Shake Up The Workplace.
Tips from Ola:
๐ Find a group or organisation that you could belong to
๐ Use the advantages of the virtual world and find your community even before landing at a new place.
๐ Cultural values might affect us in a negative way, even if they were meant to protect us. Closed societies value privacy, modesty and security more than outspokenness, bravery and ambitions. It is a growth journey for each of us to find our voice and courage.
๐ Moving between countries is a way to figure out who we really are. Dare to explore something that you might not find if you stay in your comfort zone
