VOICES & PEOPLE
I am truly humbled by your generosity and your endless perseverance to bring to the fore so much creative talent, knowledge sharing and collaborative exchange to touch the lives of others. You truly are an inspirational leader! In New Zealand Maori culture a leader of great respect is deemed a taonga, “a treasure” or a person of great knowledge. It is bestowed.
Your aspirations to further creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship for positive change are defining your role as a guardian of knowledge truly worthy of the titles of taonga and te waka huia which means “a vessel of knowledge”.

Firstly, I didn’t actually “thank you” personally for your obvious contribution to the evening. For making it to our quiet corner of the planet just for the event and for giving us such a glorious taster in your chosen subject that suits you so well! You were the evening’s natural center of gravity!

I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful speech you gave at the Bombardier Female Engineer network conference in May. All of the ladies were extremely impressed by you.

"… an energetic lecturer - Selma Prodanovic - who made four hours of training simply fly by with interesting topics and entertaining manner. Through challenging exercises, engaging discussion and exchange of ideas we not only learned about the challenges of "business start-up", but also about our own feelings, hopes and fears relating to it. It was an evening that gave me a deeper insight into my own business ideas (which I wasn't even aware of!) and motivation to start thinking of them more seriously. Well done!"
Renate Filipowski (CTBTO, Vienna)
Volles Lob für den Vortrag, ein Gedicht, spannend, interessant und packend.

„Ohne Netzwerken geht es nun mal nicht und hier aus erfahrenem Mund von Frau Prodanovic 'live' noch Tipps zu hören, war eine große Bereicherung für mich. Daher ein großes Danke an Frau Prodanovic.“
Werner Groß (Thorn Licht GmbH, Vienna)
„Meeting Selma was a true delight. She deserves the most honest congratulations for the way she is and for the projects she is running.

„Die heutige Keynote war ein Riesenerfolg. Denke, das hast Du auch selbst gespürt. Es war genau der richtige Mix für diese internationale Gruppe und das Ambiente war schon fast staatstragend. Ich danke Dir sehr, und vor allem gratuliere ich herzlichst zu Deiner Vision, mit der Du die Kids heute bewegt hast. Soviel Beifall und Zustimmung aus über 40 Ländern hat selten jemand."
Bernhard Wanicek (Businesskey, Vienna)
„Die Bereitschaft der eingeladenen Expertin, Selma Prodanovic, als CNO (Chief Networking Officer) ihre Erfahrungen zu teilen, war sehr groß; ja, ein angewandtes, gelebtes Beispiel von Wissensteilung und Networking. Ihr persönlicher interkultureller Hintergrund ist faszinierend. Konkrete Tipps sind nur so gesprudelt und genau deshalb ist der einleitende Impulsvortrag gleich direkt in eine Fülle von Fragen und eine sehr befruchtende Diskussion übergegangen. Ein herzliches Danke dafür, Frau Prodanovic.“
Wolfgang Auinger (Vienna Guides, Vienna)
"Wanted to let you know that your inspirational message truly affected my mental positioning in the best way. Having tons of ideas, yet caught in autopilot mode of not pursuing good ideas left me empty feeling. The point you made about taking on life\'s simplest challenges with an almost mathematical approach to solving these roadblock. Thanks again for speaking to our group!"
