My name is Petra Založnik


I work with individuals, teams and organisations who want to work and implement changes in a more connected, inclusive and sustanaible way.


My background
I believe in the power of conversation, collaboration and action. I believe in inquisitiveness, openness, respect for difference, boldness, professional competency and bravery. I believe that on our own and together we can achieve our goals. And I believe in the power of changes, if they are necessary and meaningful.

Every change starts with us. It depends on the amount of time and energy we have to make the change. On whether we are prepared to learn and take risks. On whether we are willing to persevere even during moments of discomfort and trust in the process. And on whether we permit ourselves to think and work differently.

And I believe that every long journey starts with a simple first step. It would be my pleasure to set out together with you on this journey.
