About Me

My Story

WHO AM I?

I am an energetic being, an eternal optimist and a life explorer. I am a warm-hearted person, a good listener and careful observer. I am a soul that is constantly learning and developing. As Gordana Novak, I act in many roles; as myself, daughter, life partner, mother, grandmother, friend, colleague, co-creator, mentor, coach and advisor…

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

I have been willingly helping people all my life, both privately and professionally. This is my mission, which I wasn’t really aware of in the past. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, due to my enthusiasm and past patterns, I have often ended up in burnout. But apparently, I needed that in order to finally open my eyes and start listening to myself.

From the turning point onwards, when life painfully reminded me that it was time to finally listen to myself, I became more familiar with Neurolinguistic Programming – NLP and with the field of discovering self-love. Even from my hospital bed, I gained new knowledge and participated in online workshops. When I really hit the ground, in a serious medical condition and ending up without a job and therefore finances, and after the initial panic, I looked into myself with the help of coaches and mentors. It was in that moment that I decided and said publicly for the first time that I would also change my career path. Every new path is difficult, but if you perceive changes as challenges, not as obstacles, everything becomes easier.

I discovered a new path, paved with various experiences. In the beginning it was anything but easy, as I had been struggling with health issues for some time. I went through a hypnosis process (using the RTT method), where I discovered some patterns that led me to exhaustion and burnout. I continued the process with a mentor /coach for personal growth and well-being, with whom I embarked on a journey of discovering myself and my true value. With her help and my willpower, I successfully overcame my challenges. I successfully applied all the techniques and methods that I now use with clients, first to myself.

I performed a “RESET” on myself. Hence the imaginary name of the company which I founded at the not so prime years of 55. Now I know how to help myself and others, so I want to pass on this knowledge as a mentor and coach.

And that is it now! I am living my mission, which I enjoy, and at the same time help others on their path of self-discovery, self-love and desired changes. I am driven by an immense will to live, ethics, and a desire to constantly upgrade my knowledge.

I am grateful for all, even the most brutal “lessons” and “teachers” throughout my life, because they brought me to where I am now and enabled me to do what I love, based on all the experiences and knowledge I have gained. Based on all that, I can successfully help you on your path of life changes.

ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

In addition to the formal knowledge acquired during my studies, I have gained valuable experience in the field of people management and interpersonal relationships throughout my life and work. I have a university degree in Pedagogy (Andragogy) and English language and literature.

All the way from the beginning of my career to my independent path, which is 26 years, I have worked in the field of human resources, 16 years as the HR Manager. During that time, I have organized and participated in a huge number of education and training courses in the field of management, HR management and other areas (e.g. NLP, mobbing, computer training…). Even in my private life, I have attended various workshops in the field of personal growth and self-love (Louise L. Hay method workshops – Heal Your Life).

At a turning point, when life painfully reminded me that it was time to finally listen to myself, I obtained my NLP Practitioner certification. I continued as a mentee in the field of personal growth and well-being, working on myself through the OMM Academy program for achievement of inner happiness and business success.

I can say that I have learned a lot in recent years. I enriched all the knowledge I have gained with experience and have truly begun to use it to its fullest for my own good and for the benefit of my clients.
