As a psychologist I’m used to helping others find clarity but at some point I realised I had lost some of it myself. The Kairos Strategic Retreat helped me slow down and rebuild structure in my practice. Working with Zvoni and Stefan gave me the tools to align my professional goals with my personal values. Their mix of empathy and precision created an environment where change felt natural. I came back home more focused and with a system that actually supports my growth instead of draining it.

Zvonimira and I met by accident when she proactively responded to the Alumni EFRI invitation for the first cohort of the AWE Croatia program funded by the American Embassy in Zagreb. After just a short online meeting, I realized she is an entre-soul, a woman entrepreneur who not only took part as a panelist at the opening ceremony but also supported the program as a mentor, lecturer and consultant for all the women who aimed to expand their businesses in Europe and Germany. Zvonimira is a soul devoted to creation, driven by both grit and positive feminine energy. Always with a big warm smile.
