🌍Working on how to scale up high-level leadership development to reach millions, even those who can’t afford it, so that we can spread the wings of global human potential!

🧩Growing up in war-torn society in Yugoslavia in the 90s drove me to become an activist. At 15, I joined Otpor (a Resistance movement) to end dictatorship in my country. The societal collapse and fragmentation that I witnessed as a teen was driven by individuals with absolute power, abusing it and failing to see diversity as an asset. This experience kicked off my quest to understand the relationship between power, authority, leadership and change. How does power affect people? And how do communities and organizations empower or disenfranchise people? What is effective leadership? How do we create leaders, at scale? The leadership failure that led to the demise of my community is why my career is fueled by a desire to unravel how we develop new leaders and help people grow, collaborate, work together by leveraging diversity as an asset.

⁉️The main question I am trying to answer: How do we scale up high quality Leadership Development and Coaching to make it available to millions worldwide who need it to make the change they want to see? Bringing empowering leadership and collaborative models to millions is the way to create empowered citizens and employees, thereby increasing individual and collective capacities and deepening our collective democratic potential. I invite you to try to answer these questions together with me!
