How can we learn from a family calendar about leadership, motivation, and ownership.

👉 New blog is live:

People naturally support leaders who genuinely care about them. Leaders who help them grow. Leaders who acknowledge their contribution. If we don’t care about people - their ideas, opinions, and feedback - leadership may not be for us. We might become average leaders. But never exceptional ones. I...

We don't always need to go faster. Sometimes we need to STOP. To listen. To learn. To choose what comes next. 🤔 When was your last STOP & GO moment?

Danes imam rojstni dan. 🎉🍰
In danes razmišljam o tem, kako dolgo že zapisujem življenje?

Dnevnike, planerje in rokovnike polnim že od svojega petnajstega leta. Romantična pisma sem pisal še prej. Če se prav spomnim, smo začeli s spominskimi knjigami v osnovni šoli. Se jih spomniš?

V službi cilje dosegamo lažje. Imamo sestanke. KPI-je. Roke. Doma pa…

Domov pridemo utrujeni. Pozno. Z glavo polno vsega – razen sebe. In če stvari ne vzamemo v svoje roke, jih bo v svoje vzelo življenje.
👇
Zato danes lansiram dnevnik/planer: Vedno začni v ogledalu
https://asklistencare.com/product/dnevnik-planer-vedno-zacni-v-ogledalu-prednarocilo

Temelji na komunikacijskem modelu moje prve knjige: Vprašaj, poslušaj, razumi in naj ti bo mar.
📖
Nekaj se zgodi, ko se usedeš. Ko utihneš. Ko misli zliješ na papir.

Ta dnevnik ni planer časa. Je planer odnosa – do sebe, do drugih, do sanj. Če ne zapisujemo, ne izginejo le cilji. Izginejo dnevi, teni, meseci in leta.

Vse se začne v ogledalu - komunikacijski dnevnik in planer za ljudi, ki jim je mar: Ker danes se – spet – vse začne v ogledalu.

Prednaročilo je odprto!

Slo:
Med prazniki je vsega veliko.
Besed. Obiskov. Pogovorov. Hrupnih dni.

Včasih pa največ naredi tišina.

Pomaga nam poslušati, umiriti misli in biti res prisotni – doma, v odnosih, pri sebi.

Napisal sem kratek zapis o moči tišine, iz življenja in iz knjige Vprašaj, poslušaj, razumi & naj ti bo mar.
😉
Morda vam pride prav prav v teh dneh.

Eng:
During the holidays, there is a lot of everything.
Words. Visits. Conversations. Noisy days.

And sometimes, silence does the most.

It helps us listen, calm our thoughts, and be truly present—at home, in our relationships, and with ourselves.

I’ve written a short piece about the power of silence, drawn from real life and my book Ask, Listen, Understand & Care.
😉
Maybe it’s exactly what you need during these days.

Silence is a powerful communication skill. This article explains how intentional pauses increase attention, trust, and influence - drawing from real experience and the book Ask, Listen, Understand & Care.

ENG: Effective goal setting or New Year’s resolutions🥳 that fade after two weeks?😭
Why do some people reach the finish line while others stop halfway?

In my book I dedicated an entire chapter to this topic, and today I’m sharing a short summary on my new Added Value blog.

👇 Reading time: 2 min
🎯 That moment you finally reach your goal? Unforgettable.

SLO: Učinkovito postavljanje ciljev ali novoletne zaobljube🥳, ki zbledijo po dveh tednih?😭
Kako to, da nekateri cilje izpeljejo do konca, drugi pa odnehajo že na polovici?

V svoji knjigi temu namenjam celo poglavje, danes pa sem pripravil kratek povzetek v angleščini na novem blogu Added Value. Če želite bolj jasen način, kako si zastaviti cilj in ga tudi doseči, vas čaka tukaj:

👇 Čas branja: 2 min
🎯 Občutek, ko končno pridete do cilja? Neprimerljiv.

What does goalsetting have to do with communication? A lot! It's essential if you want to: become clearer in your communication, pay more attention to body language, negotiate better, speak more confidently in public or stay patient in conversations. It all depends on your ability to set clear goals...

V osnovni šoli nisem bil ravno talent za risanje, sem pa imel lepo pisavo. To je bil moj prvi šolski "superpower".
😀
In če se spomniš spominskih knjig… tistih, ki so potovale med prijatelji in vsak je dodal del sebe? Ja, tam se je vse začelo. In kasneje še romantična pisma. Od srednje šole dalje pa polnim dnevnike in planerje. In vsaka stran je majhno ogledalo.
🪞
Včasih se mi zdi, da se nekaj od tistega obdobja vrača. Morda je čas, da eno takšno ogledalo odprem še komu.

Kmalu.

📖 Excerpt from the book (Eng): Questions separate professionals from amateurs. A great interrogator is the one who digs deep. The same principle applies to becoming a great bartender, teacher, or leader. If you Google “qualities of a great waiter” and then search for “qualities of a great leader” or “qualities of a great friend,” the top results will always include being a good listener, willing to listen, and active listening.
👂
And the easiest way to start becoming a better listener is simple: Start with a question!
👇


📖 Odsek iz knjige (Slo): Vprašanja ločijo strokovnjaka od amaterja. Dober preiskovalec je tisti, ki zna kopati globlje. Odličen natakar, učitelj, vodja – vsi uporabljajo prava vprašanja. Če v Googlu poiščete 'lastnosti odličnega natakarja', nato pa še 'lastnosti odličnega vodje' ali 'lastnosti odličnega prijatelja', boste med glavnimi zadetki vedno našli: dober poslušalec, pripravljen poslušati, aktivno poslušanje …
👂
In najlažji način, da postanemo boljši poslušalci? Začnimo z vprašanjem!
