Lecture is giving. The task of the speaker is to give knowledge & tools to the participants, not to make themselves look smart. The goal is not to show we’re smart, but to enable all those who made time and gave their money to listen to us to make smarter decisions right after they have gained new knowledge. With lectures like this, with sharing knowledge, we all benefit. That’s the only way I give, and the only way I teach. – Dragana Djermanovic

- ⑶ One on One workshops, training, and mentoring work, which Dragana is known for. This way, according to a predetermined methodology and time frame, Dragana guides a client through a process of defining goals, creating a map of activities and planning, managing time and resources, and developing relationships, skills, and knowledge that the client lacks to achieve defined goals. Dragana Djermanovic guided numerous celebrities, athletes, directors, public figures, politicians, ministers, and mayors through her “One on One” workshop program. “Among my clients, there were confused billionaires, rampant millionaires, unhappy directors, frightened managers, political leaders full of self-confidence and entrepreneurs who were at the beginning of their careers and are now among the most successful in their field,” Dragana says about her experiences. “My clients learn from me, and I learn from each and every one of them. In only one year, three out of four long-term clients wanted to buy a stake in my company, although none of them worked in my industry – one was in sports, one from the media business, and one from IT sector. When I asked them why, more or less they all said they would like us to work and grow together for as long as possible, in any way. I am proud of their success, but also of my perseverance to become and remain the best in my job.”

Since my business partner and I started working with Dragana Djermanovic, our business has risen to levels that we didn’t know existed. Before working with her, I was in a burnout phase, every day a new business problem would arise that diverted my focus from the wider image to the extent that I began to lose my life enthusiasm, which affected my private life also. She is a woman who leaves nothing to chance. She has tools to predict and prevent any future problem, to solve current problems, and she uses those tools without hesitation to shape the business and direct its growth in the right direction in a painless way. The beauty of working with her lies in the fact that she is able to present even the most complex analysis and solution in the way that everyone can understand and easily apply them. In addition to all that, since I have been working with her and applying her advice, there has been a noticeable improvement in all spheres of my life. I value myself and my time more, and I have more self-confidence. She taught me how to improve relationship with friends and family, and how to save energy without wasting it on people and jobs that do not deserve it. Thanks to that, I’ve finally found time to finish another faculty, to finish writing a book, and I could make time for people important to me.
If I had to use one word to describe working with Dragana, that word would be – magical! Yes, the work we’ve done, and the results of working with her seem like magic, but the fact is that the right analysis and the right organization are behind it, as well as separating the essential from the urgent, and understanding of one’s own identity and value. I would like to recommend her work and lectures to anyone who is diligent, to those who feel as if 24 hours in a day aren’t enough to do all the things, to everyone who wants to do well in every aspect of life and to do it with ease, and to people who want to be the best version of themselves. – S.K.
