Bio
Klemen Medved
I had the opportunity to be part of Simona’s group mentorship in 2022, on the topic of Responsibility towards employees, which was organized by the Managers’ Association of Slovenia. Simona demonstrated in practice what an amazing mentor and executive coach she is. She managed to create an empowering environment within the group, where challenges, ideas, knowledge, and experiences were openly exchanged in all directions. She encouraged us to prepare a discussion topic for each session. Based on this, she prepared an introduction to the topic to ensure we all (regardless of our professional background and experience) had a good understanding of the topic to spark a constructive debate where all opinions were heard and considered. Moreover, her solution-based and structured approach led to valuable insights and further opportunities for self-development and professional advancement, guiding us toward a healthy balance in life. Simona is full of positive energy and wisdom. Her international experience with personal and organizational change, leadership development, and business in general perfectly complement her executive coaching and mentoring skills. I would gladly recommend Simona as an executive coach, mentor, and HR strategy partner to anyone looking for positive change.
