🎙️ How Do Constant Learners Challenge the Status Quo?
In this episode of the Strong Women in IT podcast series, we explore a mindset that drives innovation, challenges comfort zones, and often becomes a catalyst for meaningful change in organizations and communities.
Constant learners ask thought-provoking questions, challenge existing ways of thinking, and inspire others to see new possibilities. Their curiosity fuels growth, but what impact does their approach have on the people and ecosystems around them?
During this conversation, our guests explore:
💡 The challenger’s mindset, its DNA, and the power of asking “Why?” – especially in an AI-driven world.
💡 How important communication, delivery, and perception are when challenging existing ideas and norms.
💡 What value challengers bring to others, as well as the benefits and challenges that come with questioning the status quo.
To unpack these topics, we are joined by three inspiring leaders and lifelong learners:
🔹 Florentyna Frend – Head of Product at Authologic
🔹 Audrey Turay-Magdato – Regional Sales Manager at CrowdStrike
🔹 Łukasz Foks – AI National Skills Director at Microsoft
The discussion is hosted by Małgorzata Gryz, VP & Partner at Strong Women in IT.
