A coach is partnering with clients to help them expand their awareness of the issues they are facing, gain clarity about what they want to achieve (future vision, goals, preferred outcome), identify obstacles in their way, and create a strategy to overcome those obstacles. 

Everyone should know the person they learn from and cooperate with. That is why I want to share with you that I have been working on the development of my own and other people’s businesses for more than 13 years. As an entrepreneur, my area of expertise is financial education, consulting and business coaching. I enjoy debunking myths about how finance is a boring and difficult topic. 

I help individuals and legal entities, as well as their employees to:

– take control of their finances,

– increase their savings and invest,

– generate passive income and additional income,

– achieve their personal and business goals.

So far, more than 1,500 people have gone through my coaching sessions and consultations.

I believe that financial education should be available to everyone and that is why I founded the Center for Financial Education and Empowerment (CEFIN) in Serbia with my associates in 2007, of which I am the president.

I have more than eight years of managerial experience in finance. During my work as the director of the “Exclusive Change” exchange offices for Serbia, I was in charge of the entire business of the company, since its founding in 2008. I opened more than 30 exchange offices, managed a company with 75+ employees, which in 2017 generated more than EUR 370,000 net profit.

As the President of the Association of Exchange Offices of Serbia, in the period from 2013 to 2018, I cooperated with regulators, authorized exchange offices and payment institutions in interpreting regulations, and I proposed amending and modernizing the regulations.

I completed my undergraduate and master’s studies in “Business Management” at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia.

I have a license / work permit issued by the National Bank of Serbia for:

– insurance agency and mediation,

– providing information on membership in voluntary pension funds.

I also have an “Integrative Constructivist Coaching Diploma”, a diploma obtained through a program accredited by the ICF (International Coach Federation), as well as a “Certificate in Coaching Skills”, recognized by the International Society for Coaching Psychology.

You can learn more about me on the About me page or my LinkedIn profile.

To effectively support my clients, I find myself in three roles: consultant – mentor – coach.
As a consultant, I tell them what they need to do to solve their issues. This is an immediate fix to help them with the challenges they are facing right now, but it often does not have long-lasting value. They aren’t learning how to get to these conclusions by themselves. 

As a mentor, I teach and share my experience, so clients have a deeper insight into the issues and challenges they are facing. As a coach, I do not tell, but rather ask questions that enable others to develop their own path. Clients who create their own visions and strategies are far more likely to implement and sustain them—and get the results they are hoping for. 

Whether you want to take control of your spending and pay down debt, or you need help with big money goals, or support in your first steps towards investing or in starting and growing your business, you can work with a coach.
However, if you want retirement financial planning, to receive business financial advice, legal or tax advice, you should contact other professionals who focus on advisory services.

No, each session is a well-rounded whole; you are not in any way obliged to a certain number of sessions.
When you know for sure that you want another session with the coach, it is recommended that you schedule sessions in advance due to the availability of the coach and free dates.

The great part about working with a financial coach is that I’ll guide you through every step of the process. But during your first session, I will ask questions to get to know you – about your goals and area of focus. What are the 1-3 most compelling outcomes you want to achieve by the end of our coaching engagement? For each one, consider where you are now and where you want to be. So be sure to have your answers ready.
