I’m Dijana, my passion is empowering people

I’m founder and lead facilitator of
We believe you already have a wealth of knowledge.
Therefore our work is focused on the challenge that comes with that wealth:
bridging the gap between knowledge and practice.
… and the author of 2 books
A small book about biases.
Containing 15 animated cartoons explaining most common biases.
Using visual storytelling and introducing Lena, an ordinary girl who suddenly grew a weird superpower, this book tackles diversity, fitting in, finding support, and the good roots for one’s happiness. It aims to serve as a conversation trigger.
This is how & why I write
I love writing in the “small book” format, each tackling one big thing at a time.
I always use visual language, so my books are full of drawings, animated cartoons and illustrations.
Therefore they are great conversation starters and association triggers, a fantastic tool for diving into a deeper understanding of sensitive topics.
Feel free to use them in your workshops and the coaching process too.

About facilitation
Facilitation is a process of enabling groups to work cooperatively and effectively together, and it emphasises the involvement of all participants in a meaningful way.
The facilitator acts as a catalyst for better group interaction. Her/his role isn’t about providing knowledge or ideas but helping participants make better use of the knowledge and ideas that they collectively possess.

Firstly made it for my own use, later I shared it with my clients and friends in international Design Thinkers groups I’m in.
At this moment, iQUEio brainstorming aid app has been installed 200+ times and it has catalysed thousands of ideas that wouldn’t be noted without it.
iQUEio is a web app, therefore it can be used on any smart device that has access to the internet.
You’ll find a short tutorial in the app, and if you need assistance, I’d be happy to facilitate iQUEio ideation session for you!
… and now I host LinkedIn Local Zagreb meetup
I believe in the power of networking, and I’m a better listener than a talker.
You can usually find me at some startup meetup and networking event, or capturing daily life videos in Zagreb town centre and whenever I am. If you want to take a peek, please visit my YT channel EGLIBU .
