Žana brings a combination of more than 15 years of experience as a corporate manager, entrepreneur, executive leadership coach, leadership development consultant, coaching trainer and mentor with a great passion for writing, lecturing and public speaking.
She emphasizes that, regardless of her role and methodology, the transforming power of bigger and bolder conversations always occupies a central place in her work. She believes that bold leaders have a sixth sense of speech and are responsible for opening such conversations in their organizations, thus taking personal risk in the service of conscious contribution to shaping the world in which we live.
Some of her formal roles are: founder of Bold Leadership Culture, a company offering leadership development solutions; The Leadership Circle Ambassador for Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia in charge of expanding the community of leadership development consultants and users of tools for effective individual and collective leadership successfully applied in global companies in various industries; trainer of PwC's Academy for Croatia, Romania and Poland on the ICF accredited Business Coaching Diploma program where she trains and mentors new coaches believing that coaching is the new language of modern leadership. She is the author of a book called Bold Reinvented: Next Level Leading with Courage, Consciousness and Conviction which comes out in September this year.
Žana is a mother and stepmother, a wife and daughter who believes that to live is to learn.
