“What are you willing to risk as a leader?”
The real challenge always comes down to this key question. If you are not really ready to risk anything in your comfortable world, then what is your leadership really about?
Our experience tells us that leaders have two types of conversations:
How to ensure business as usual; and
How to create a bold new normal.
Our work with you is the latter.
You can choose to stay fully head-centred and very cautious in your business as usual, OR
You can dare to make bold decisions.
We believe that bolder conversations generate bold decisions which then beget bigger outcomes. Bolder conversations help your innovation, creativity, results and collaboration go up.
Your influence skyrockets. They transform your leadership impact forever.
And your bolder leadership impact transforms our collective world.
We know that the choice between a safe cautious leader and a bold impactful one is a paradox to hold and we love supporting bigger thinking leaders to navigate this paradox and nuanced dance.
We’re in the business of human development. We can spot resistance. We don’t judge it; we reflect it back.
It’s our task to meet you where you are and our mission to then take you places.
For that to happen, you can count on us to tell you – from the place of our integrity – if we see you not being ready for the change. And you can also count on us to encourage you to cross that edge.
Some of our bold clients
"I worked with Žana when I attended the training for Business Coaching Diploma (under the PwC Croatia organisation). I was amazed by the level of professionalism Žana showed during the training - both in terms of excellent technical skills as well as her ability to understand and accept each individual. She managed the training with high level of compassion, business acumen and excellent relationship skills. Part of the training was also doing the direct 1:1 coaching and due to her excellent coaching skills (put into practice and not just the theoretical parts) I was able to achieve personal goals that before I would not even dare to attempt.
Žana also conducted a workshop for PwC Slovenia (How to manage your time effectively to achieve work life balance) which was very well accepted by our colleagues. The feedback from attendees was amazing and I would highly recommend Žana for any similar events.
On a personal level - it is very easy to work with Žana as she creates an environment where you feel respected, valued and where a high level of confidentiality is present."
"I acknowledge and recommend Žana as a passionate, inspiring and professional coach, mentor and trainer. Žana was one of the two excellent executive coaching trainers that influenced my mindset and stimulated transformation towards modern coaching practises, which made impact in my business and private life. As a co-active coach she introduced me into new ways of thinking, exploring and supporting others. As a cherry on the cake she always creates a pleasant and safe place and atmosphere."
"Working with Zana was a great experience. During our sessions, Zana helped me to successfully address “all of my issues” that I was aware of, to realize there are many more and also to unlock my leadership horizons and self-awareness. For me, each of our sessions was an eye-opening experience and overall had high influence on my further leadership development. Thank you Zana for all your dedication, patience and for showing me the way to be better leader!"
"I had the great pleasure of having Zana as a teacher, mentor, and coach. In each of the roles, Zana embodied excellence and ease inspiring me to constantly want to give more and stretch myself. Her passion and dedication create an atmosphere that is safe and inviting and above all, it encourages change in all planes of life resulting in a new and improved version of you as a human being."
"I had a pleasure to experience Zana's coaching in the middle of 2020. With a bit of knowledge on coaching, this was my first actual experience. And it was an amazing one thanks to unbelievably easy and pleasant communication as well as huge sense of reliability Zana gave me from the first minute. Not only that in busy everyday schedule I was sincerely looking forward to each session, but I could see my evident progress after every single session. The best description was the fact that on more than one occasion I had "Ally McBeal experience" looking on myself from outside and asking - what are you talking about and why didn't you figure it out earlier on your own?? :-) Zana's knowledge and experience makes her perfect fit for newly appointed managers, however also to very senior roles without any hesitatation."
