What values do I live by? Family, well-being, challenging and exciting life
What do I do? I run trainings about business English, business communication and neurolinguistic programming (NLP)in Slovenian and English. I write books, articles, e-learning materials and now – this blog!
How do I train? When I teach business English or any communication skill in English I tend to join language with the way the language is used in practice. I firmly believe that a business English trainer can train far better if he or she knows well a particular communication skill (e.g. knows how to negotiate).
The courses I run in Slovenian excel at preparing the program and materials from the working environment of the group. It is necessary to make participants see how the skills trained can be applied in practice. For this reason I tend to use their working background.
As an NLP trainer I also use neurolinguistic programming throughout the workshops, especially when building rapport with the participants, exploring, discovering and building the entire workshop from their (limiting) beliefs and values.
Doing that the workshops tend to be packed with energy, motivation and the desire to improve. Excellent springboard to become more self-confident and assertive, sensitive to the needs and circumstances of the communicating partner to be able to contribute and achieve faster, better, more and with less effort.
What and where did I study? I studied English in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Later on I studied in UK to get a licence for teaching Business English, afterwards I started studying neurolinguistic programming in Ljubljana and the USA (Santa Cruz, CA and Orlando, FL).
I was trained by some exceptional trainers such as Tatjana Zidar Gale, Tatjana Dragović, Robert Dilts, Judy deLozier and Susie Smith from “the cradle of NLP”, Santa Cruz, dr. Richard Bandler (the founder of NLP), John La Valle and Katherine La Valle from Society of NLP and lately by Dott. Amadeo Furlan, an expert in team-building events.
