For those who lead others
When you teach, consult or lead people, your own growth becomes part of the work — because you cannot take anyone further than you have gone yourself.
Over the years new questions come up
The familiar approach does not always work the way it used to. Some cases never quite make sense. You want to look deeper into your own practice and find an approach of your own, not a borrowed one.
Mentoring is where we work through it.
What we work on
- Your professional questions and the hard cases in your work with people.
- Your own reactions, expectations and boundaries in working with people.
- What exactly you are doing when you use a particular practice, and what it actually does to a person.
- Your own approach — step by step.
I wrote in an article about what I call information and how it takes hold in a person.

First step
An interview
Your experience, what you are looking for, your level and the terms of joining.
Two or four meetings a month
The work
We combine your own practice with a review of what happened between meetings.
We discuss cases from your work so that the people involved cannot be recognized.
Every so often
Reviewing the goals
We review the goals and ask whether it is worth continuing.
What changes in your work
The aim is for you to understand your work more deeply, see what it can and cannot do, and rely on your own experience rather than on someone else's authority.
We agree on the terms before we start
Personally led
Every meeting is led by me, Bogdan Adamiv-Kostyshyn. You work with me — not with an assistant, and not with a recording.
Confidentiality
What you tell me personally stays between us. And I will not quote my clients at you — their stories are theirs, and they will tell them themselves when they decide to.
Shared effort
You bring your situation, your decisions and the willingness to act. I help you see what is really going on in it, and I make sure we do not drift from what we agreed. The work goes on between meetings too — in your decisions, your conversations, your actions. I will not do it for you.
Watching for change
At the start we name what exactly you want to change and how you will notice that it has. As we work, we come back to that and change direction if we need to.
This work does not replace medical care, psychotherapy, or financial or legal advice.
Where I learned it
Bogdan Adamiv-Kostyshyn
Founder, School of Informational Yoga
I did not come to this from books. I ran two companies of my own in Ukraine and lost them both — the first to a man I had trusted, the second in a fight with a partner that, at the time, could not be ended cleanly. Trust, partnership, quarrels you do not know how to end — I know them from the inside.
Since 2014 I have run delivery in IT — today in Dubai. That means daily work with teams, with other people's expectations, and being responsible for making sure that what was agreed actually gets done.
That is how I learned to see how a leader's state, beliefs and way of talking to people spread through the whole company — and how a culture we build together can support people instead of pressuring them. I teach this at the School of Informational Yoga.
Let's start with your practice
Write a few sentences about your practice and what you would like to work through.
I read every message myself and answer within two business days.
Other formats
For owners and senior managers
A hard decision, a partner, your own role in the business. Someone to talk it through with when the responsibility is heavy and there is never a moment to stop and think.
Individual work →For companies and leadership teams
Shared values, a team that actually works together, and a company where people want to work, take responsibility and grow.
