Testimonials
"Tijana led a workshop with my community Her Workplace on exploring creativity and innovation through Human Design.
Her Workshop was educational, fun and super motivating to dig deep and explore different career paths based on your own Human Design with our members. Tijana is a special person and cares about taking the time to help you explore all the wonderful things that make each of us unique based on our Human Design."
Siena Cashan
Community Manager, Her Workplace
"The Human Design reports, discussions and takeaways were amazing for our small and growing team.
It was not only a fun way for us to get to know each other (and ourselves) better, but it also was a more detailed, nuanced, and specific way to understand how to better communicate and operate as a team. We've already been able to approach things differently based on our learnings, and are so excited to incorporate them daily.
I highly recommend working with Tijana if you're a team dedicated to ongoing learning, amazing communication, and high-performance!"

"Tijana's passion for the topic was truly infectious, and it was clear that she had a deep understanding of the subject matter.
What really set Tijana's presentation apart was her personal attention to each team member's map. Rather than simply providing general information, Tijana took the time to make sure that everyone felt seen and heard, and that the information provided was tailored to our team specifically. This made the session incredibly valuable and helped us to better understand ourselves and our team dynamics.
In addition to her knowledge and expertise, Tijana also has a wonderful attitude and a caring approach. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone felt included and valued, and her professionalism was top-notch."
