Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through The Break Program 2024
Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through The Break Program 2024 I am honored to have been part of The Break Program 2024, an initiative hosted by Impact Hub Zagreb that brings together remarkable women entrepreneurs from Spain. This incredible program, held in collaboration with the EOI Business School, is a testament to the power of connection, innovation, and knowledge-sharing across borders. Over the course of two dynamic weeks, 38 women entrepreneurs gathered in Samobor and Zabok, Croatia, to challenge their business models, foster meaningful connections, and explore strategies for growth. The program combined workshops, networking meetups, and a hackathon designed to spark creativity and collaboration. https://ivamiakruslin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/osnazivanje_poduzetnica.mp4 As a trainer and mentor, I had the privilege of leading two workshops on “My Strategy & Self-Management,” where we explored: Aligning personal values with strategic business goals Practical tools for project management and self-reflection Peer-to-peer learning and collaboration The sessions focused on equipping these entrepreneurs with the tools to stay true to their vision while effectively managing the challenges of business and growth. It was truly inspiring to witness the passion, resilience, and creativity of these women as they worked to drive impact in their communities and beyond. This program was further elevated by visits from distinguished guests, such as H.E. Juan González-Barba Pera, Ambassador of Spain to Croatia, who joined us to engage with the participants and share insights on the significance of international collaboration. A special thank you to Impact Hub Zagreb and their incredible team for organizing such a transformative program. Your dedication to empowering women entrepreneurs is making a tangible difference. Together, we can create an ecosystem where women entrepreneurs thrive, lead with purpose, and make lasting contributions to their communities.

With this achievement, Viškovo has become the first municipality in Croatia to earn the prestigious title of Caring Municipality, demonstrating its commitment to creating a better work environment for employees and improving the quality of services provided to citizens. https://ivamiakruslin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/opcinaviskovo_video.mp4The Cities and Municipalities That Care project is built on a three-phase approach designed to equip municipalities with tools to develop emotional culture, strengthen resilience, improve collaboration, and establish a positive and productive workplace atmosphere.

Excited to Join the Mindfulness India Summit 2024 in Mumbai!
Excited to Join the Mindfulness India Summit 2024 in Mumbai! I am honored to announce that I’ve been invited to speak at the Mindfulness India Summit, Asia’s largest mindfulness event, taking place on October 17th and 18th, 2024, in Mumbai, India. This summit will bring together global leaders and practitioners to explore how mindfulness and other transformative practices can positively impact leadership and society. At the event, I will be representing the WeCare platform, www.wecare.eu.hr, as its founder. I’ll share insights into our initiatives, including Caring Cities and Municipalities and Caring Companies. These initiatives incorporate mindfulness and other key practices aimed at improving working conditions, enhancing efficiency, communication, and conflict management, and fostering more supportive, productive environments both in workplaces and communities. In addition to this, I will also be participating as a board member of the European Association of Mindfulness (EAMBA), where I’ll join a panel discussion on Authentic Leadership and Bringing Positive Change to the Environment. During this discussion, I’ll explore how mindfulness can play a crucial role in leadership, alongside other practices, to bring about positive societal shifts. I’m excited to contribute to these conversations and share our work at WeCare while engaging with fellow global leaders and practitioners. Stay tuned for more updates from the summit!
Caring Cities: A Project to Empower Local Communities and Improve Citizen Services
Caring Cities: A Project to Empower Local Communities and Improve Citizen Services The project was born from an adaptive problem that local citizens were asking for better services and expecting more from their local governments. It became clear that the key to meeting these needs was to first empower the local officials themselves. Issues such as stress management, team dynamics, and effective communication were identified as crucial areas to address in order to create a more supportive and efficient work environment. The Caring Cities Project is a three-phase program designed to equip local officials with the tools they need to reduce stress, collaborate effectively, and ultimately improve the services they provide to their communities. By fostering a healthier and more resilient working environment, the project creates a ripple effect that benefits both the officials and the citizens they serve. I have had the privilege of leading this project from the beginning, working closely with municipality such as Općina Viškovo and city Nova Gradiška. We are now approaching the final phase of the project, and I am excited to share the journey and outcomes at the EAMBA Conference Festival, where I will discuss how this initiative has helped transform local governance. This project not only integrates mindfulness and resilience-building, but it also directly addresses the well-being of officials and citizens alike. By improving the internal dynamics within local government teams, we have seen a tangible improvement in the quality of services delivered to citizens. The Caring Cities Project offers a model for other communities seeking to improve both their internal operations and their relationship with citizens. For more information and to learn about the outcomes of the project, please join us on October 5th, 2025, at the EAMBA Conference Festival.
