#MonikaStruzek
Hi, I’m Moni.
What defines me as a person? Unbridled curiosity about everything and everyone, a pronounced social vein, and the need to leave the world in a slightly better state than I found it.
My CV contains a few twists and turns – an aborted theology degree, a bachelor’s degree in English and political science, then a master’s in media and communications management, a divorce and a sabbatical… Yet, each of these steps has brought me closer to myself, as I have learned something from all my experiences, and this is the most important thing for me.
#MyWhy
My Why?
Networks – open for all!
Born in a country at a time where nepotism was the order of the day, for a long time I viewed networks as something negative: they had this undertone of exclusion and selfishness – I build a network so that I can benefit from it. That’s not my thing. However, I have since learned that networks can also be different – open to everyone and oriented towards a higher goal – and that I can contribute a lot to my network.
Networks are also becoming increasingly important in our professional lives – I need to know who can do the things that I can’t do. This is why I want to help people to feel comfortable in networks – both digital and analogue. And I want people to have fun – to feel seen, to be able to contribute their strengths, and to find meaning in what they do.
