It was an extraordinary experience for me not only because of the turbulent pandemic times but also due to the feeling of bonding and certainty Milena shaped in everyone. She has the talent to be a leader in her field, but a type of leader you find as a friend and a supporter, the most sustainable type. Milena's mastermind sessions were the "pill" we all necessitated in order to be resilient and strong in the difficult times. Moreover, her professionalism and passion for tackling a problem or a dilemma revealed Milena's personal excellence. Thank you, Milena, for being so inspirational and devoted!"

It's a great place for connecting with similarly minded people who understand you and often are troubled by the same issues.

Overall a great experience that I recommend to everyone who manages a business."

"Milena is one of the most active and consistently supportive members of BAUH throughout the organization's history. However, that description doesn't do her justice. She innovates. She provokes. She inspires. We've seen her in various roles at our major events: as an engaging presenter, a successful moderator, and a fierce debater. But for me, the most memorable was her participation as a motivational keynote speaker at the BAUH international conference in May 2017. Her spontaneously told story, 'Where Things Happen Effortlessly... In Leadership, in Life,' touched everyone in the audience. It was different, thought-provoking, and unforgettable."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Absolutely! I myself am a pretty good example of this 🙂
Transforming from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset is entirely possible (both – for persons and organizations). It involves recognizing that your abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence.
Our training provides you with the tools and strategies to shift your thinking, embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and continually grow. With commitment and practice, you can cultivate a growth mindset and unlock your full potential.
Just decide to put some efforts ☺
In the actual leadership model, there's an increasing emphasis on the "human touch" – the leader's ability to make genuine human connections. That’s why our portfolio includes various modules to cover this aspect.
I believe leadership requires continuous growth, evolving from the inside out, and involves a relentless process of development as both a professional and a person.
I personally, as part of my work, support leaders who share these values with training programs, academies, personal profiling, and individual coaching.
A leadership academy also could include some of this topics:
#Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence; #Communication Skills; #Change Management; #Conflict Resolution; #Team Effectiveness and Collaboration; #Innovation and Creativity and many more…
You can check out our mind map for modern leaders, developed from my extensive experience, which forms the foundation of our leadership academies.
The market is flooded with team-building options. Some are blatantly childish, while others are overly pretentious.
Choose your format based on how interested the provider is in understanding your specific needs (versus just trying to sell what they have).
Ask about and research the people involved—do they understand group dynamics? Meaningful team-building isn't just about eating, drinking, and having fun. All these expenses can turn into an investment if the team works on suitable tasks, has space to enjoy themselves while working, experiences uncertainty, reacts to unexpected situations, and most importantly, connects what they experience now with the upcoming business reality.
Look for the unconventional. Make your team feel valued by selecting the right people to facilitate the event. Add a motivational element. Prepare your team emotionally—let them have the motivation and desire to grow together!
Of course, you can contact us and ask us. We don't insist on taking on a project at any cost—we will refer you to our colleagues if we determine that we are not the best provider for your needs.
Blind spots are aspects of our behavior or personality that we are unaware of but can impact our effectiveness and relationships. You can identify them through honest feedback, self-reflection, and observing the reactions of others.
With the right tools and in the right group of like-minded people, you can find some answers about yourself and starting points for further development.
Choosing the right format is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of a program. With many years of experience, we have identified the following key differences between two of the main formats we offer:
- Small Group Training: Ideal for up to 15 participants, this format allows for personalized attention, deeper discussions, and tailored feedback. It's perfect for intensive skill development and team cohesion.
- Large Events: Suitable for up to 100 participants, large events are great for motivational sessions, organizational alignment, and broader skill-building activities. They foster a sense of unity and shared purpose across larger teams.
When working with large groups, we employ a main facilitator and small group facilitators. This approach combines the benefits of team sharing and motivational elements in the large group with skill development and model practice in smaller groups.
Choosing the Right Format:
- - Objective: Determine whether the goal is in-depth skill development (small group) or broader engagement and motivation (large event).
- - Team Dynamics: Consider the size and characteristics of your team. Smaller groups benefit from more intimate settings, while larger groups can gain from the energy and networking opportunities of big events.
- - Desired Outcomes: Small groups are effective for focused learning and personal growth, whereas large events are excellent for creating a unified vision and inspiring large-scale change.
For more personalized advice, feel free to reach out to me personally or my team at www.h-vision.com. We can help you determine the best format for your specific needs and goals.
Embracing vulnerability means acknowledging and accepting your weaknesses and limitations. This openness allows for genuine self-improvement, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of authenticity in your personal and professional life.
Embrace Vulnerability is a mindset that enables much greater transformation. It represents a halfway journey where you are ready to open your mind and take the maximum for yourself.
In the events we lead, we create a safe space that allows for this discovery and vulnerability, free from judgments, stereotypes, and prejudices.
This is part of the masterful facilitation of development events.
ur training programs and my signature courses are definitely not for everyone. Honestly, even after 20 years, I still haven’t found a magic pill 🙂
But I believe our uniqueness lies in our willingness to share real-life experiences and be genuinely authentic, honest, and true. We're here to give you everything you need for your personal, team, and organizational growth.
We don't worry about anyone stealing our ideas—we're genuinely thrilled when you transform and put your new skills into practice!
We offer follow-up support through coaching sessions, online resources, and a community of like-minded individuals to help you continue your growth. This ensures that you can apply what you've learned and sustain your progress.
It's really so simple—at least the first step! ☺
