Listen here.

In this episode I am speaking with Kamil Barbarski. As an entrepreneur he co-created many products and companies including MAK3it, Innovation Kickbox, Start One Thing, Walkaboutyou, Purpose Exploration, and a flower shop. Kamil is also a Certified Teacher for Search Inside Yourself – SIY, a Google-born leadership program for emotional intelligence, resilience and mindfulness.

Kamil truly embodies what he talks about and it felt like listening to a more zen-like brother from another mother. Please enjoy my relaxing and deep conversation with Kamil about Wholeness at the level of Teams, (our second systemic level in this season).

You will hopefully also feel inspired to follow my Call to Action (CTA) which comes right after the conversation with Kamil at the end of this episode (you can check the chapter notes in your app for precise time – if you need a re-listen to take notes).
