What participants say

Matea Lay, Communications Manager, Croatia

I had an amazing experience with Happiness Academy course! Mirna is an amazing coach, motivated, smiling and full of energy. The course is well structured and I enjoyed learning new things. The groups are small so we all became friends and felt safe and free discusing delicate and personal topics and challenges, finding comfort and support in the group. I warmly recommend it! 🙂

Lana Novosel, Deputy Director at Outward Bound Croatia, Croatia

We definitely recommend Mirna as a trainer, besides huge experience and professional background, her approach, positive attitude, adapting skills and ability to design custom made trainings for a given group of people, are standing skills that made us choose Mirna for the next team development training.

Laura Betancort, Translator and Interpreter, Spain

I attended two workshops with Mirna that were absolutely worth it. In both of them, she made sure to understand the audience to tailor the content to our needs.
She created the perfect atmosphere: On the one hand, a safe and even fun space where we could self-reflect and have enriching discussions. On the other hand, a dynamic space where we would not get stuck in overthinking so we could focus on action.

Marin Futač, Brand operations manager, Croatia

Workshop with Mirna was fun, exciting and very eye-opening. The techniques and exercises were concrete and helpful in giving directions on what to focus – whether it was finding out what you want to do and/or changes you want or need to make in order to boost your career and career goals.
The most important thing was the group atmosphere that Mirna managed to provide where everyone felt comfortable to pitch in with their experiences and questions.

Monica Schneider, Marketing Director Luxe Adria-Balkan and Romania at L’Oreal, Croatia

I have collaborated with Mirna in several instances. Every time she has demonstrated a precious balance between strong theoretical background and the ability to pass on key messages through practical experiences.

Thari Codrington, coach, The Netherlands

Mirna was a very positive and engaged workshop leader. She excelled in translating scientific findings in real life and very practical exercises. The exercises during the workshop were very illuminating and the practices to continue after the workshop are still part of my daily routine.

Stefan Fiedrich, psychologist, Germany

Mirna’s training has been a wonderful experience with great content, ideas and group dynamics! Mirna managed to give us a broad structured and science based overview on this vitally important field of applied psychology. Always enthusiastically and engaging, with interactive discussions and personal reflections and exercises! Even with a background as psychologist and prior knowledge in the field I learned new things and enjoy the nicely prepared and useful materials and resources. I can highly recommend the course to everyone who is interested in self development and life improvement. As for myself – I left every session inspired to reflect upon aspects of my life and with some ideas how they could be improved, and overall, a little bit happier than before
– Great job, Mirna & Hvala!

Ivan Suvar, Brands and Portfolio strategy director CEE, Molson Coors

Mirna was leading the Flow workshop as an induction and inspirational part of the whole day Ideation process for the CEE Brand and portfolio strategy team in Molson Coors. I could only emphasize exceptional interaction, great preparation and a really inspiring and motivating session we had with Mirna. Too bad this workshop with Mirna wasn’t for the full day or even longer.

Antonija Burcul, Founder & CEO, FOUR, Switzerland

Mirna has a remarkable ability to almost immediately draw the audience to whom she’s speaking to into her world and seemingly effortlessly hold their attention throughout the duration of her speech.

Listening to her talk puts me personally in the state of flow: time passess in an instant, without one even noticing.
To paraphrase & quote Tressie McMillan Cottom, a MacArthur Fellow, who describes creating an experience that holds the audience, even when learning gets uncomfortable (because learning something new is uncomfortable all the time) through the following words: “to give the experience (to the audience) of my confidence of knowing what I know”: walking out of Mirna’s talk with even a part of Mirna’s confidence is the professional & personal career & general boost one will cherish & be propelled with for the time to come.

Audrey Baker, EMEA Program Manager – Employee Experience at Twilio Inc., Ireland

Mirna creates engaging content that is easy to understand, insightful and offers practical guidance on how to implement into everyday life. 

I recently worked with Mirna as part of the Think Week program at Twilio. Mirna designed a program to introduce the concept of Flow, what it is and how to harness it in respect to our work lives. Producing a toolkit of elements including a bitesized introductory video to the concept of flow, a Think Week planning workbook and a live interactive workshop meant that regardless of how and where individuals chose to engage with the topic there was an equally valuable resource available to them. 

Mirna was a pleasure to work with. She was committed to understanding the purpose of the program, the people involved and how best to connect to them on the topic. Tailoring everything to suit the particular needs of our company and people meant the materials were bespoke to our exact requirements. 

Can’t wait to collaborate with Mirna again in the future.
