MARIO ŠUŠAK, General Manager, The Westin Zagreb, Maistra
“Iva did a fantastic job of transforming a “standard” workshop theme into a highly engaging and eye-opening experience.”A component part of my company’s Corporate Leadership Journey Program was a Communication Skills Module that Iva facilitated. This was my personal favorite session, as Iva did a fantastic job of transforming a “standard” workshop theme into a highly engaging and eye-opening experience. My group consisted of peers, Hotel GM’s from our portfolio, people of different backgrounds, managing properties in three different destinations: Zagreb, Rovinj & Dubrovnik.
Iva’s interactive, exceptionally informative, yet entertaining approach in facilitating this workshop served to be especially revealing on two levels. First and foremost, we as colleagues got to know one another better than ever.
Furthermore, Iva provided me with a valuable take-away: a personal communication improvement plan. I was under the impression I was as a good communicator, but Iva managed to shine light on the fact I had a margin of improvement to capitalize on in restrictive time communication scenarios. I highly recommend Iva to anyone looking to develop the communication competencies of themselves or their teams.
ALFRED JOVOVIĆ, Director, Risk Management, Erste & Steiermärkische S-Leasing d.o.o.
“I really like her ability to interact with the participants and the creation of a relaxed and open atmosphere.”I attended two trainings with Iva on the topic of leading people and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Apart from the fact that it was very useful and interesting, I really like Iva’s way of communication and coaching, her ability to interact with the participants and the creation of a relaxed and open atmosphere.
Her vast experience with various types of participants, situations and cultures is very tangible, as well as her empathic approach to curious and unusual questions from the participants.
I recommend Iva’s training because she is a top trainer & coach who, with the use of modern tools, methods and her own personality, makes all participants interested during the entire duration of the training. Her programs are something that every manager and leader should attend at least once a year, and if you took away even a tiny bit of what was shared, you already gain a lot in everyday business and private life.
