January Client Feature: Ewa Ladkowska
/I feel so honoured to work with so many amazing clients and I can’t wait to share this particular lady with you (with her permission, of course!)
I met Ewa back in the Summer of 2017 when we started working together. If I could personify the essence of following your dreams into a living being, Ewa would be the person. As a creative on many fronts, Ewa is as enthused about your creations as she is about her own. A supportive force and lady following her heart.
I hope my short interview with her will inspire you to follow yours too.
What do you do for your career?
I’m an actor, writer and a set & production runner. I freelance.
Why do you do it?
I love writing because it helps me to discover and unlock my creativity.
I love acting because it allows me to work with other creative and passionate individuals.
What were the biggest challenges you faced on the journey to where you are today?
I think one of the biggest challenges has been when I’ve been stuck with indecision when faced with big choices about my life and career. It can be hard when you don’t know where to start but I’ve learnt that usually, in the end, the key is to make a decision regardless of whether it turns out to be right or wrong. At least, you’ll learn something. You can’t move forward if you stay undecided.
Can you say more about how you’ve overcome this challenge?
With a lot of personal growth and awareness. Having a mentor is great because you can ask them questions and they will push you. As soon as I’ve made a decision, I feel better and worry less. Another thing that helps is exploring why you want to do something. With that explored, I believe it’s easier to follow through with your decision and you’ll be less likely to fall off track.
At what point in your journey did my support come into play?
I was already working on personal growth, attending webinars about my field and reading books. I knew working on my mindset was the key to success. Working with you though is so much more personal than doing it on your own. It’s tailored, consistent, personalized and a constant reminder to keep growing. It’s structured and has me follow through.
And the amazing thing about you is you is that you also encourage me to ‘drive my own car’. To take control of who I am and how I want to live my life.
What are your goals moving forward?
I have many goals and love to keep working towards them. There is always space for growth and I want to continue working on being the best version of myself.
What’s one thing you’ve taken from your journey so far that will help you with what’s next?
The importance of mind-set and personal growth. That I can achieve anything once I decide to.
What advice would you give to someone going after a career of their dreams?
Go into unknown situations and keep going!
Also, books and seminars are great but the importance of having a personal mentor is key. You can go anywhere you want with it and get the personalized support you need.
