1. Your best decision in 2024?

In 2024, after 18 years of exclusivity, I decided to train the first certified trainers in de Bono’s structured and focused thinking methods—Six Thinking Hats (for effective meetings) and Lateral Thinking (for out-of-the-box ideas). This decision allows us to spread these "recipes" for efficiency and co-creation more widely in increasingly engaged teams. This year, I am continuing with new trainers and methods—Thinking by Design (for guided innovation from focus to action plan) and Six Value Medals (for assessing and creating value in all areas).

1. What are your personal and business growth goals for the year ahead?

On a personal level, I strive to practice what I teach: balancing creative and structured thinking in everyday decisions while staying open to new ideas. Professionally, my goal is to further expand the network of de Bono thinking trainers across Europe, making structured thinking a standard skill in organizations, education, and leadership. I aim to inspire more people to embrace deliberate thinking to improve collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation.

1. Important decisions we must make 10 years ahead

Looking a decade ahead, the key decisions revolve around sustainability, technology, and human values. We must balance rapid technological advancements (AI, automation) with ethical responsibility, ensuring they serve humanity rather than divide it further. Organizations and governments must invest in deliberate thinking methodologies to navigate complexity, foster (ethical, socially responsible) innovation, and make long-term strategic decisions that benefit both business and society.

1. What is your added value as a keynote speaker on stage

I don’t just talk about structured thinking—I demonstrate it in real-time. My keynotes are interactive, thought-provoking, and packed with practical tools that audiences can immediately apply. I bridge science and practice, making complex thinking methodologies accessible, engaging, and fun. The audience doesn’t just leave inspired; they leave equipped with a new way of thinking that transforms their decision-making and collaboration.

1. Share tips that will help select the right keynote speaker for an event/conference?

• Clarity of Purpose – Know what impact you want the speaker to have on your audience.
• Relevance – Choose a speaker whose expertise aligns with your industry’s challenges.
• Engagement – Watch past talks to see if the speaker can hold attention and inspire action.
• Authenticity – The best speakers don’t just deliver content; they live their message.
• Practical Takeaways – Ensure the audience gets actionable insights, not just inspiration.

1. Which Slovene or international speaker would you like to hear on stage at Festival Odločitev next year?

I would love to hear Dr. Julia Sloane, an expert on strategic thinking, who brings a deep understanding of how leaders can develop their cognitive agility to navigate complexity. From Slovenia, I truly enjoy listening to President Nataša Pirc Musar, as she delivers insightful and thought-provoking speeches with clarity and impact.

1. What do you appreciate in Slovenia most?

I admire our ambition. With only 2 million people, Slovenia consistently ranks among the top 30 countries in the world. But we don’t stop there—we strive to be among the top five. This relentless drive for excellence, innovation, and progress is what makes Slovenia truly special.

• Your favorite gift from Slovenia?

A bottle of Slovenian sparkling wine—a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and joyful moments. 

1. What is your motto in life?

"Think before you open your mouth." – Because deliberate thinking leads to better decisions, greater innovation, and a more fulfilling life.

1. Why are YOU excited about the Festival Odločitev (Summit of Decisions)?

The Summit of Decisions brings together bold thinkers, forward-looking leaders, and people willing to challenge the status quo. It’s a space where structured and creative thinking collide, inspiring better choices for individuals, businesses, and society. I am excited to share practical tools that empower people to think with purpose, make better decisions, and create a future worth looking forward to.
