About the Book
Of all the people in the world, some say they want to change something in their lives. Of these, some actually want to do it. Of these, some actively work on it. Of these, some are practicing one of proven frameworks, based on goals, habits, or anything else. Of these, some are growing tired with no progress and are considering giving up.
I was in the last group for many years. Struggling, looking for options, unsettling. I felt tired on a verge of melancholia, yet somehow, I found the strength to plough on. I kept trying different approaches, just for sake of changing my life to what I wanted it to be.
One day, something clicked. Final pieces of the puzzle kicked in. The change it brought to my life was so spectacular, that I just can’t withhold it. Hence the Target, Theme, and Routine - my latest book.
About the Author
You could say I’m into IT for three decades – that is, if geek kid pushing BASIC code into his Atari counts.
I struggled when choosing college, so I needed to make a wise choice. I flipped a coin and ended up being programmer. Then manager. Then the Agile began and (following achieving mastery over two days of training) I became the worst Scrum Master I’ve ever seen. Then (hopefully) a somewhat better Product Owner. Then Agile Coach.
Now I run a small strategic consulting agency, focused on actual business outcomes, not means to an end.
I’m an introvert, yet I love to go on stage and boldly challenge all the misconceptions, myths, and legends that arose around Agile on numerous conferences.
I’m a philosopher of stoicism and essentialism. By pure coincidence (or not), these two streams of thought actually combine to create what I mean by Agile.
I lived in nineteen different places, before deciding to settle in Gdynia, Poland. For now.
As a passionate petrol-head, I believe jogging to be reserved for lunatics only – which explains why you can see me jogging a few early mornings each week.
