For over 30 years in Poland, we have had the opportunity to use the Internet. However, recent years have been a time of rapid technological changes, a time of emergence of new applications and solutions that, on the one hand, help us in life, but on the other hand, lead to our fatigue, information overload, or lack of concentration. Knowing that new technologies are neither inherently good nor bad, it is crucial to seek the right balance between the real and virtual worlds at all costs. How can this be achieved? By taking care of our digital hygiene. What is it? What are its components? How can we take care of it on a daily basis? Why is our brain not prepared for such rapid technological advancement, and what negative consequences can such a situation bring us?

The job market is evolving, and in recent years, this process has accelerated and intensified. According to the latest research from the McKinsey Global Institute, there will be a demand for completely new skills worldwide over the next 10 years. So far, highly valued hard skills in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) will take a back seat, and achieving success will require a high development of so-called human skills.
Business analysts and economists are observing how quickly the very definition of work is changing, and consequently, the ways of management. Hard skills, which previously guaranteed high-paying jobs, such as those in IT, will not bring such financial results by 2030 if we do not expand them with soft skills. Paradoxically, 80 percent of society - after achieving a relatively stable professional position - stops learning, losing interest in new knowledge.
It turns out that the perfect tools for building future skills are found in contemporary art, which uses them consciously and extremely modernly. Artists, to achieve success, are open to self-improvement and dialogue. They do not fear unpredictability or improvisation and see them as a space for development, originality, and artistic freedom. That's why they break the boundaries of their time and even epochs, breaking patterns and old norms.
I will talk about how to discover art to discover the competencies of future leaders. To use art as a tool in achieving success - drawing from it, to create the mindset of a new leader. People who are close to art cross boundaries, think unconventionally, quickly implement changes, and achieve tangible results. They have passion, are inspired, and inspire others around them.

Are you curious why Magda found the archetype of a Servant Leader in nomadic pastoralism within the organization? As we look around, we see more and more organizations boldly deciding to build businesses differently. They've had enough of hierarchical structures, dominant leadership, or a cult of individual OKRs. Already, the new generation entering the workforce refuses to accept solely pursuing individual goals because they associate them with competition. We really have little time to change our thinking about organizations and leadership!

Imagine a vast, bustling city where everyone is saying or doing something, bustling almost into chaos. Suddenly, you smell an extraordinary, earthy scent. You look around and see it: there it is, standing! It's... a shepherd! What is he doing here?

She'll reveal to you how she found clues in the world of shepherds and sheep on how to build a modern, conscious, and responsible organization. An organization that puts people first and wins with them. Does that sound intriguing...? (PS Did you know that shepherds are probably the happiest professional group in the world?!)
Magda has seen transformations of presidents, scrum masters, clergy, managers... and they start to become shepherds. She herself has been a shepherdess for 3 years now and invites those who are ready to follow the path of a Servant Leader to this amazing world.
