Just a few days ago, I had a fascinating radio conversation that touched upon, among other topics, agency and self-development \u2013 subjects very close to my heart (after all, I have a Gestalt therapy diploma to my name). My guests on Dublin City FM were Dr Kamila Kowalska and Dr Rafa\u0142 Raczy\u0144ski from the Emigration Museum in Gdynia \u2013 experts who, after researching entrepreneurial Polish women in Italy and Norway, decided to focus on us \u2013 Polish businesswomen in Ireland. The research project is titled Femigratory. Enterprising Polish Women in Ireland<\/em> The task is to capture the driving force and creativity of women in emigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In life, I always seek a deeper meaning, so for those of you who know me personally or have met me at my workshops, it will come as no surprise when I write that for me, behind everything we call entrepreneurship and success in emigration, lies something much deeper. For me, it's the love of self-realisation and the need to manifest my potential (even in this land flowing with rain). Yes, I realise this may sound lofty (or even pathetic).

And so, returning to the beginning: I asked my guests on Dublin City Fm what is so unique about Ireland that they undertook to research this place and its inhabitants (at least the beautiful part of it). As Dr. Raczy\u0144ski emphasised, our emigration is a relatively new phenomenon, and the Green Isle, as an island nation, is a place with a specific character. All of this, therefore, according to him, constitutes a fascinating comparative case (at least when it comes to researching the entrepreneurship of Polish women).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
