Her mentoring session will focus on helping participants reflect on their ambitions, define meaningful goals and approach both career and life decisions with confidence.
Through her mentoring, Lidija aims to inspire participants to think boldly about their future and to recognize that success is not only about achievement, but also about awareness, balance and purpose.
Participants are warmly invited to register for the mentoring tables of their choice through the Happenee event application and not miss the inspiring conversation in person.
“In Croatia, women make up around 30% of business leaders, showing steady but still gradual progress toward greater representation in leadership. At the same time, the country is highly connected digitally, with internet access reaching roughly 80-85% of the population, opening new opportunities for entrepreneurship, innovation and global collaboration.”
