Marija believes firmly that the greatest growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. That’s why, during her studies at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology, she decided to take her first big leap and spend some time living and working abroad. This desire led her to Germany, India, and Spain, where she worked on organizing international projects and discovered her passion for leadership, as well as for people and organizational development.

Upon returning to her native Serbia, Marija decided to deepen her knowledge in these fields and enrolled in a Master’s program in Project Management at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences in Belgrade. At the same time, out of curiosity and a desire for further growth, she discovered neurolinguistic programming (NLP), which she fell completely in love with, along with the entire field of personal and professional development.

After several years of education, personal transformation, and achieving her goals, Marija decided to share this knowledge with others and became an international NLP trainer, certified by the Swiss organization IANLP.

Since then, Marija has also trained in coaching and obtained the title of NLP coach, later becoming a coach in the Points of You methodology. Believing that learning is a lifelong process, in 2021 she enrolled in a second Master’s program in Leadership, Coaching, and Emotional Intelligence at the EAE International Business School in Madrid.

After completing that program, Marija chose to stay in Spain and continued delivering training and working with people and companies worldwide. Today, she lives in Marbella, where she works at Les Roches as the coordinator of the Diploma of Advanced Study in Leadership & Talent Management, as well as a pathway coordinator and lecturer in the fields of human resources, leadership, and communication skills.
