A system on your side
If your responsibility grows faster than your capacity, at some point you start acting like a shock absorber for the entire system. On the outside, everything holds together. On the inside, the cost increases: decisions are rehashed, tension becomes fuel, and change begins to feel like a risk for which "there's no room."
This work is intended to distinguish two things:
• whether the problem lies in the direction or in the structure that has long been broken,
• what needs to be corrected to make the decisions and change sustainable.
We'll start with a short, 20-minute introductory meeting. This is the time to learn about the topic and tailor the format.
After the meeting, I'll send you a link to book the appropriate session—or I'll tell you straight up that this isn't my area of expertise.
Schedule a 20-minute introductory meeting.
Two options:
Choose a 1:1 format
(Both options are available, but they serve different purposes.)
The most frequently chosen start
SYSTEM CHECK-in
(1:1) 60 min · 350 zł
A small step to get started when you have one specific thread to unclog.
60 minutes of sorting out one overload point in your operating model.
In this session:
• We select one overload point (decisions / dependencies / risk / buffer)
• You make one decision that immediately changes the structure
• We determine one correction to be implemented in 7–14 days
Result: Clarity + one move that relieves the system.
For those who want to pause for a moment, see the system from above, and regain clarity.
In this session, we take one specific topic and unclog it within the system logic.
Result: One decision and one correction to be implemented, taking you as a human into account.
Note: Check-in is an entry format. If the topic is multi-threaded or repetitive, the appropriate step is Diagnosis.
(If you don't know what to choose: write "DIAGNOSIS" - I will send you 5 questions and indicate the correct option.)
For change and restructuring
STRATEGIC SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
(1:1) 90 min · 950 zł
For change situations: scaling, restructuring, pivot, role/direction change - when you need a complete picture.
90 minutes of work that provides you with a map and corrections.
What it looks like:
• Pre-survey (10 min)
• Decision-dependency-risk-buffer map
• Corrections for 2-4 weeks
• Short email summary
After the diagnosis, you leave with:
• A map of where the system relies most on you
• Identification of 2-3 overloads that need correction
• Initial decisions that immediately reduce the cost of stress
• Clarity: do you need a process, or will spot changes suffice?
Availability: 12 diagnoses per month
How we start:
1. Write "DIAGNOSIS" - I will send you 5 questions and tell you if this is the right step.
2. If it matches, you'll get a link to the calendar.
3. If it doesn't, I'll be straightforward and save you time.
How to choose the right option (in 20 seconds)
Choose System Check-in if:
• you have one specific topic and want to start small,
• you need a decision and correction "right now,"
• you're not sure where the main leak is, but you feel like something is "clogging."
Choose Strategic Diagnosis if:
• you're in a transition (scaling / restructuring / pivot),
• the topic has several layers at once (decisions + relationships + responsibility + risk),
• you need a map of the whole, not just unclogging one area.
If you don't know: schedule a 20-minute introductory meeting - I will adjust the format after the conversation.
DESIGN REVIEW (10-SESSION 1:1 PROCESS)
For whom: When the diagnosis shows that the topic is structural and repeatable, not a one-off.
3 phases:
1. Stabilization and buffers (1–3)
2. Architecture redesign (4–7)
3. Integration and robustness testing (8–10)
Pace: Typically 10 weeks (sometimes 12–14).
To Enter: We begin with the Diagnosis.
FAQ
-
Is this business/strategic consulting?
No. I don't delve into company strategy, finances, or operations. We're working on your decision-making system, boundaries, pace, and accountability—and on how much change you can handle without paying for it yourself.
-
Is this therapy?
No. It's working on the structure of your system and how you operate.
-
Do I need a business?
No. The common denominator is high responsibility and a situation where the system begins to rely on you.
-
Does this make sense if I'm considering closing my business or changing careers?
Yes. Especially then, it's important to distinguish between a genuine need for a change of direction and a need to restructure my operating model.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Magda, Innovation Department Consultant
I came to the System Functioning Diagnostic Session feeling that “everything is okay,” but inside I had less and less space. After the session, I saw my life and work as a system for the first time: what really energizes me and what systematically overloads me. The greatest relief was discovering that it wasn't me who needed to “fix” myself, but rather the way my system works, which doesn't take me into account. I left with a clear picture of the situation and two small steps that I could implement right away, without revolutionizing my life.
