🌳 Skillforests Workshop

Design Your Personal Skill Growth Tree

What is this workshop?

Most people know what they want to achieve, but struggle to answer an important question:

“What skills should I develop next?”

In this interactive workshop, you will create your own Skill Tree—a visual map that helps you identify where you are today, where you want to go, and which skills will help you get there.

Rather than leaving with another checklist or action plan, you’ll leave with a clear and motivating picture of your personal growth journey.

Facilitators

Juliusz Fedyk

Juliusz Fedyk is the founder of Skillforests and an engineering leader with over 15 years of experience building digital products, leading engineering teams, and developing people.

Throughout his career, Juliusz has worked across software engineering, product development, and innovation, including leadership roles at Peatix and the Accenture Innovation Centre (Fjord). He is passionate about creating products that solve real human problems through technology, design thinking, and user-centered innovation.

While leading and coaching engineering teams, Juliusz noticed that traditional competency matrices and skill assessments rarely motivated people or reflected how they actually learned. Inspired by these finding he developed a gamified competency management system for his own team, which became Skillforests—a visual, tree-based approach that makes skill development engaging, intuitive, and actionable.
