🌿Sustainable Future of Organizations Training Course 30 October - 6 November 2025, Stubičke Toplice, Croatia.🇭🇷
💫Focused on exploring various strategies and methods regarding organizational sustainability and regenerative thinking, this training course was an opportunity for me to change my perspective on association development.
💥First of all, it was an intensive process of self-discovery and what is the personal attitude to new approaches and tools, including the financial side and then as an organizational leader, looking at the whole.
📌During this process, guided by Juraj and Thomas, we discovered the 8 forms of capital as tools for the organization: social, material, financial, living, intellectual, experiential, spiritual and cultural, but also what sustainable and regenerative organizational models are.
👀I identified the biggest challenges in the organization I lead and, with the help of the other participants, I was able to find solutions at the team level, at the decision-making level and at the organizational culture level, so that our association can grow and be regenerative, with a team actively involved in both decision-making and assuming responsibilities. My action plan developed during the training will be implemented.
💰Financially, the projects we are involved in will partially provide us with the necessary financial resources, but in the meantime we will need to become stronger and have the realistic capacity - people, time, money - to support the organization in the long term.
🎯I realized that to achieve this I had to raise my own standard of living, to be able to support the organization's work, and thank you Thomas for the challenge.
🌅Also, Juraj, thank you for the work-life balance, the list of green and red flags, which provided me with qualitative and quantitative indicators for a better life as well as for all the challenges of teamwork.
🥳I really enjoyed the connection with the other participants and all the moments spent with all of you, in which we had unique experiences and in which we saw that we have common values ​​and objectives regardless of the organizational culture or country we come from.
🫶Thank you Anja for the logistics and for familiarizing me with the local nature, which made me feel safe.
🤗Thank you Juraj, Thomas and Anja for this immersive training in which I was challenged to develop both personally and professionally, being more aware than ever of my potential, of the organization I lead, but especially of a new perspective in which to use the new tools and methods learned for a win-win pattern.
