“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success”
- Henry Ford
My Story
Growing up in the Balkans, where change was a constant, gave me a deep understanding of how uncertainty impacts individuals and systems. This early insight proved essential throughout my career, including over 15 years spent in the financial industry.
During this time, I witnessed firsthand the challenges large companies face when implementing new strategies or adapting to market shifts, often observing how communication breakdowns and a lack of employee buy-in could disrupt even the most well-intentioned initiatives.
These experiences underlined the critical need for clear communication and inclusive collaboration. My background in Communication Science was instrumental in addressing these challenges at all organisational levels more effectively.
My expertise as a seasoned facilitator of the Taylor System and Method and other collaborative methodologies provides me with a robust framework for guiding teams through transformative experiences, enabling me to design and run workshops that foster open dialogue, build trust, and generate actionable solutions.
Facilitating groups of all sizes is constantly refined by my most demanding (and adorable) clients: my two little boys, right here in Turin, Italy. If I can navigate their needs, a strategy session is a breeze ☺
What I Do
I believe in the power of people working together to create remarkable things. I partner with leaders, teams, and organisations to support them in achieving their objectives, solving problems, driving cultural transformation, and aligning their leadership strategies through experiential and creative group approach.
If your team or company is facing any of these challenges, we can develop a tailor-made solution to tackle them. Whether online or face-to-face, through focused two-day workshops, facilitation trainings or event series – I'm happy to discuss how I can help.
