Foundation Podobri’s Journey at the Joyful Leadership Training
In the picturesque setting of Somogyvamos, Hungary, Foundation Podobri embarked on a transformative journey as part of the Joyful Leadership training. With 36 participants coming from diverse backgrounds, the experience was nothing short of enlightening as they delved into the core values and goals that define a true leader.
At the heart of the Joyful Leadership training lies the holistic approach of the Tree of Life, a method employed to impart essential insights into prioritizing the most significant aspects of leadership. Participants were guided on how to grasp crucial aspects, stay motivated, find moments for rest and recreation, manage tasks effectively, and, most importantly, lead a group of people with authenticity and purpose.
Foundation Podobri, committed to the positive transformation, proudly affirms the impact of this magnificent leadership journey. Guided by skilled mentors, the training exploited non-formal education methodologies to deliver valuable lessons that transcend far beyond traditional leadership approaches.
One of the key figures ensuring the success of the training was Flip Brnicevic, the Founder and President of O.A.Z.A., who played a critical part in facilitating the sessions and ensuring a positive and supportive environment for learning, addressing mistakes and seeking improvement.
“Leadership is not about making people happy but about delivering value to them and making their lives and themselves better. Don’t make your colleagues feel like robots!”

“What a way to finish off the year! It has been quite a week, which allowed me to reflect while learning new skills and things about myself. But it’s not always about learning new things. Sometimes reminding yourself things you already know, can be very transformative experience as well.”

The workshops on time and task management were incredibly practical, offering tools and strategies that I can easily integrate into my daily life. The introduction to Krishna consciousness added a unique and thoughtful dimension, enhancing my personal growth. Additionally, the circus practical workshops were not only fun but also a creative way to learn about teamwork and leadership. Overall, the course’s vibrant atmosphere and diverse curriculum have left a lasting positive impact on me.”
