Meet Krzysztof Meisinger

We recently connected with Krzysztof Meisinger and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Krzysztof, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

In my opinion, self-confidence always follows belief in what you do and what you love. Be true to yourself and do what you love for the good of others, and you will see that self-confidence is always present. It is directly proportional to the faith and positive energy we emanate. Let’s not be afraid to look into the future, because fear always weakens us and tries to deceive us. We create the future and the more faith and confidence there is in this creation, the more beautiful it will be!

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

His recordings received many international awards and critical acclaim.

In May 2022, in the plebiscite of the British portal uDiscoverMusic, Krzysztof Meisinger has been recognized as one of the 20 greatest classical guitarists of all time.
Krzysztof Meisinger is the artistic director of the MEISINGER Music Festival – an annual music festival whose first edition took place in September 2017 in Szczecin.

Krzysztof Meisinger plays on the copy of Ignacio Fleta’s guitar created by Anders Sterner and the Augustine strings.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking, not just seeing. Listen, not just hear. To love, not to possess.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

The greatest value in our lives is family. Family gives life balance and strength to move forward. When I come home from concert tours, my son Bernard needs a father, not a guitar virtuoso. With his presence, he shows me what is really important in life. It is amazing and full of beauty.
