Hello, my name is Alicja Magierska. Privately, I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a registered nurse by profession. Mary Kay has changed a lot in my life. It changed mainly on the level of relations. As I mentioned at the beginning I needed a change because I came to such a point, I can say burnout. For me, the patient was always the most important in professional work and there was a moment when I began to notice that I started to treat people objectively. After this incident a red lamp lit me, that I must change something in my life, because it can not go on like this. Very much in my life gave me training in personal development, that I know myself, who I am, work with myself gives me great satisfaction because every day I have the opportunity to become a better version of myself and going to other women I can be hope for each women sharing the possibilities that Mary Kay gives and make them feel beautiful and special, so that they are important to each other. What I've learned is that people who are in my path are definitely more important. That I can help them and give them a chance for a better tomorrow.

Mary Kay is a unique place for every woman, not only to build herself as a woman, her femininity, sense of value because we often miss it, it is also looking through the prism of others, so we perceive ourselves and other people. When it comes to business, it is very simple, but at the same time it is not easy like any business, we have to start with becoming a better version of ourselves, taking fears, building ourselves and also seeing other women. Going to a cosmetic meeting I go with the idea that I will make a woman feel special, teach her how to care about her skin, how to increase her value and attractiveness, also on the job market, but also in her personal life because it is known that if we look cool, it's great we feel we are better moms, better wives and women, we smile more often and the world becomes happier and merrier.

I worked in my profession for many years, but at some point in my life, Mary Kay stood on my way, it was almost 7 years ago, when my neighbor invited me to care workshops, then I met Mary Kay's brand and its luxury products for the first time. At the caring workshops, I did not feel well as a woman because I had neglected skin and huge nursing needs, but with women I met there I felt exceptionally well, almost like in a family home. Although the product was my love from the first touch and for this reason I started cooperation with Mary Kay and go out with their offer to other women. At this point, I wanted to improve my skin's appearance and satisfy her needs. After some time, I went to the workshop and the needs of my heart were met there. I felt then that I wanted to cooperate with them, because the company values are in line with my values, i.e. faith, family, career. Because I was at such a stage in my life when I needed a change and decided that in order to make any change in me, I have to change my surroundings. And so I started the adventure with the product, I felt that I needed a change for myself and my development. The added value, in addition to the luxury product, is that we have unlimited opportunities to grow and help others. As I was doing the job of a nurse with love and vocation because I always wanted to help others. After many years of work, I came to the moment when I decided to give up my job and professionally develop my own business. The knowledge that I gained during the trainings offered by Mary Kay from personal development, I also used the professional experience of others to achieve the result I dreamed of.

As most business is suitable for women with disabilities. We have women with disabilities in wheelchairs in our ranks and this is always the most touching women who have two arms and legs, since disabled women can achieve success, we think that we are lazy and sometimes we sin because this business is really for every woman who wants something more in her life. Mary Kay is literally an incubator for every woman, for development, growth and it is us who decide at what time, at what pace we develop our business. Nobody here tells us how fast we are to do programs, starting cooperation with Mary Kay we are independent cosmetic consultants. Every woman starts from the same level, no different. And this is how we walk along the career path is our personal matter because everyone needs something different, each comes for a different reason, because the place is for every woman regardless of age, origin, education, appearance. It is important what we want in life and whether we want it. In fact, we can achieve successes at a fast pace because we have so-called Corporate programs and challenges, we set ourselves goals, what we want and when. We create these programs so that they are a career path, a signpost. If we set our goals and implement them, then we commit ourselves to ourselves and this is the most important thing in our career, so that we are honest, because if we have something, if we have certain values then we try to be coherent, honest and sincere with ourselves. That is why every woman, like I said, regardless of her age, her origin, can find her place here, space. Some come for diamonds, just like my senior director, who invited me to business, she was inspired by diamonds. Others come for relationships, cool energy, development, training, appearance and departure, as we call it, to the ''pink world''.

It is known that every business is difficult but, at the same time very simple, because every woman, if you are inspired by the history of another woman, will find yourself in an environment where she will find support from others, where she will be inspired by the story of another woman, we have unlimited possibilities, huge potential lies in us . It is important that we want to act, be women of action, an example for our children, because we know that we always lead by example and it captivates me most in our business, that we lead people by example that we do not have managers here, but we have leaders and they lead us, women that are successful. If we let ourselves be inspired and led, follow the directions, we can achieve unlimited successes. This is the most beautiful, that our adventure never ends.
