What if the most powerful career strategy is leading from within?

On 10 September 2026, I’ll be joining Connecting Futures 2026 to discuss exactly that: how personal power, financial confidence, and strategic career decisions can create lasting success.

This event is particularly special to me because I’ve known the incredible Adela Mehic-Džanić for at least eight years and have seen firsthand how she has built a vibrant, international community around growth, connection, and opportunity.

I’m looking forward to speaking on the panel:

🎤 LEADING FROM WITHIN: How Personal Power Creates Success
Advanced strategies for ambitious forward-thinkers

Together with:

  • Tetyana Kohansal – Managing Partner at KS Actuaries and author on financial literacy for children
  • Katarina Roder– Head of People Development at ÖBB and Board Member, Women Leadership Alliance

We’ll be diving into:

✅ Skill stacking
✅ Opportunity radar
✅ Financial empowerment
✅ Negotiating from strength

I’m also excited to learn from the many other inspiring speakers and panelists Sebastian Kortmann, Ana Simic, Enver Sirucic, Adelina Shickova, Maja Puskaric, Özlem Onen and Mark Philipp who will be sharing their insights throughout the afternoon.
