For almost one hour I was a guest at Kopernikus TV show “In-Life” with my friend and strategic partner Tijana Sekulic from AT House company. We had a great opportunity to talk about our companies, about our work and our friendship, and at the same time we have had a great time at the show.

At the beginning of February we were doing consulting project with Regional Agency for Socio Economic Development Banat, as guests of “Stamenković d.o.o.” company from Zrenjanin. Here are some working photos:
Day before New Year my dear friends from Cromer Group have organized great meeting and diner for all of their partners and associates. We have enjoyed a great time together.
The first day of New Year temperature was 15 degrees Celsius and I was at ADA riding a bicycle. What a great way to start in 2010.
We held two day public training “Sales and selling strategy” in Macedonia organized by Kapital Media Group in Skopje. The people were just great, Skopje is a beautiful city, Kapital Media is a great host, all in all we had wonderful time.
This week we had wonderful training experience in VIP mobile Serbia in Belgrade where we performed “Telephone Debt Collection training” for their collections department. Working with these wonderful enthusiastic young people, we have enjoined the interactive workshops we have performed together. It was like the best theater you can imagine (and a great learning experience).
I took my bicycle and photo camera to ADA today. It was just wonderful.

New revolutionary search engine WOWD introduced on October 20th at Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, was presented in Belgrade on press conference on November 6th. I can say with great pride that I have been one out of a few dozen people who were working in Serbia to make that great project possible. My contribution was modest, regarding initial web content and communication messages, but never the less I feel grateful for the chance to be part of it.

What is Wowd? Real-time search engine for discovering what’s popular on the web right now. It is revolutionary P2P (distributed index) search architecture and it offers fresher, deeper and more relevant search. I believe that is how Google in 2030 will look like, and I hope its name will be Wowd. Here is my picture with Mark Drummond Wowd CEO and Ben Tarabar Wowd director in Serbia. We had a great time together at Caruso restorant in Belgrade and wonderful conversation I have enjoyed so much.

Akter magazine has published an article, written by my colleague Slavoljub Arsenijevic, about me and my consulting practice “Business Knowledge” and importance of active listening skills in sales. Well done!
One day seminar with Brian Tracey in person. Over 800 participants at EXPO XXI Center. Unforgettable!
I am in Canada for the whole month of September. Here are some of the (couple of thousand) photos I have made.
Today was a perfect day for bicycling. Let these pictures tell the story how much I enjoy my nieces (from Canada) vacation in Serbia.
At “FON” Belgrade Faculty for Organizational Sciences, there was an international meeting of foreign technical students “What World Wants? WWW Marketing!”. As part of their educational program, I have held a training in English language on “Innovation on the Internet” for the group of students from at least a dozen European countries. It felt so good speaking English continuously for some time, it reminded me of my previous life in the USA.
These are some of the pictures from one day training in Holcim Serbia. on “Personal Selling Skills”. Great company, great people.
I just came back from Montenegro. Two weeks of sales and customer service improvement program for Montenegro Stars Hotel Group. The program consisted of 8 full days training and 3 days of consulting. It was hard work, but we had so much fun too.
I had such a wonderful time. Weather was perfect, sea water conditions were perfect, pool had water that didn’t smell of chlorine, all in all, hotel Splendid was magnificent. But most important of all, the people were great.
This is the most memorable training experience I had ever had. Bright young, energetic, positive, people. I can only say, Montenegro will have great future when this young people come to their age.
Coffee breaks were fun too
For the weekend we went to KOTOR
This was the view from my hotel room
What can I say? … I LOVE MY JOB
Today there was a founding session of Serbian management consultants association. I was voted member of the board of directors (5 members). Today was a festive day, but what lies ahead is hard work to make consulting and consultants accepted and respected in Serbian business environment.
Few days ago I was able to try a new mobile gadget, Huawei Telenor mobile internet 3G modem. What can I say? Finally its worthy to have a laptop. Before it was dial-up, than it was wireless, now it is 3G freedom. No more looking for hot spots or cafes’ that offer free internet. And it works, all 3 Mbps of it, and remotely (and affordable). Finally we can fulfill our old dreams of working on the beach (or in the park, or in the woods, or wherever we like).
Last Saturday I enjoyed so much. In Novi Sad for Crest Home company we did one day interactive training “Retail Selling Skills”. Let these pictures tell the story about great people I met at Crest Home.
Great news!!! On the fourth regional conference on contextual advertising and search engine marketing in Zagreb “Web::Strategija 4 - Izgubljeni u kontekstu” McCann Erickson Public Relations agency from Belgrade wan Golden Award “Web Strategije za izvođače web marketing kampanja“ (web strategies for marketing campaign). The on-line PR campaign “Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking Widget“ was created and implemented by my dear friend Miloje Sekulic e-PR director of McCann Erickson PR agency. The main innovation was the introduction of desktop Widget and the viral effect it created. I am so glad about Miloje.
