My Leadership Journey
Three-Day Transformational Leadership Training
What is My Leadership Journey?
My Leadership Journey is a three-day leadership development experience designed for senior managers who want to strengthen their personal leadership… the ability to lead themselves, their teams, and their business with clarity, consistency, and intention.
The program focuses on moving beyond reactive leadership driven by pressure, hierarchy, or circumstances, toward a more grounded and effective approach rooted in clear values, self-awareness, and accountability. It supports leaders in developing the presence and alignment needed to build trust, make sound decisions, and create direction in complex environments.
The intention of the program is to help participants reconnect with their core leadership identity, strengthen three essential leadership capacities, and apply them consistently, especially in moments of uncertainty, complexity, and stress.
Building on the foundation of My Identity Journey, this program translates deep personal insight into practical leadership behavior. It integrates three dimensions of mature leadership, six logical levels, and four archetypal energies into a structured and applicable model for modern leadership development.
What to Expect from the Training?
DAY 1 — Leadership and Identity
Who I Am as a Leader
The first day invites participants to step out of day-to-day operational demands and reconnect with the foundation of effective leadership: identity. Before influencing others, leaders shape outcomes through the quality of their attention, presence, and decisions.
Using the Logical Levels framework, participants explore how beliefs, values, purpose, and identity directly impact leadership behavior. They gain clarity on what drives their decisions and how to move from reactive patterns, driven by pressure, habit, or external expectations, toward more intentional and value-based leadership.
Throughout the day, participants work with four core leadership archetypes, identifying the strengths they bring, as well as potential overuses and blind spots. This creates a practical lens for understanding leadership behavior in real situations.
The program combines reflection with applied practices that support focus, awareness, and self-regulation, helping participants translate insight into consistent leadership behavior.
By the end of Day 1, participants leave with a clearer leadership identity, stronger self-awareness, and a more grounded approach to leading themselves and others.
DAY 2 — Achievement & Inner Connection
Leading with impact, empathy, and emotional coherence
Day 2 focuses on two essential dimensions of mature leadership: Impact and Inner Connection. In the morning, the emphasis is on Achievement – as the natural expression of clarity, intention, and purpose. Participants explore how to transform drive into meaningful creation, how to align personal fulfillment with leadership influence, and how to set direction that inspires others. The afternoon shifts to Inner Connection – the heart of authentic leadership. Participants will experience how empathy, emotional regulation, and relational awareness shape trust and psychological safety. Through essential-oil rituals, cards of essences, and guided reflection, they reconnect with the values that stabilize them under pressure. Somatic anchoring techniques help leaders develop a calm internal center, even in moments of conflict or intensity.
By the end of Day 2, participants will experience how powerful and balanced leadership emerges: from aligned intention, clear action, and genuine connection with the people they lead.
DAY 3 — Dealing With the Unexpected & Leadership in Motion
Leading Through Uncertainty and Complexity
The final day focuses on a leader’s ability to remain effective in conditions of uncertainty, complexity, and constant change, whether within themselves, their teams, or the broader organization.
In the first part of the day, participants work on navigating the unexpected. Using a structured leadership framework, they examine how pressure impacts perception, decision-making, and behavior. The focus is on recognizing typical stress responses, maintaining clarity in ambiguous situations, and expanding the range of possible actions instead of defaulting to reactive patterns.
Participants develop practical techniques to stabilize attention, manage pressure, and sustain performance even when conditions are unclear or rapidly evolving.
The second part of the day, Leadership in Motion, is focused on consistency. Participants explore how leadership shows up in everyday execution… through decisions, conversations, priorities, and responses to conflict.
The emphasis is on translating insight into action: how to lead with clarity and alignment not only in key moments, but in daily operational reality.
The program concludes with a clear leadership commitment, a defined set of actions and behavioral shifts that participants will apply immediately in their role.
The Integrated Framework of Conscious Leadership
At the heart of My Leadership Journey are three essential capacities that define mature, conscious leadership in the modern world. These dimensions reflect the inner structure from which all authentic leadership emerges:
1
Impact
The ability to act from clarity and purpose – transforming personal power into meaningful creation, and results into genuine contribution.
2
Connection
The ability to lead from empathy, presence, and authenticity – transforming attachment and reactivity into emotional balance, trust, and relational depth.
3
Transformation
The ability to respond to uncertainty with awareness and calm – transforming fear into flow and rigidity into flexibility.
Embodiment as the Foundation of Leadership
Leadership begins in the body. A leader can only act with clarity if they first experience clarity within. Throughout the three training days, participants are guided through embodiment practices that restore coherence between mind, emotion, and action:
- Breathwork sessions that support focus, awareness, and intuitive clarity
- Points of You® cards used to surface perspectives, uncover patterns, and support reflection in decision-making
- Guided reflection practices that reconnect leaders with their core values and priorities
- Somatic anchoring exercises that strengthen composure and clarity in moments of uncertainty
These practices ensure that leadership insights are not merely understood but lived, felt, and embodied. Only embodied awareness becomes sustainable leadership behavior.
Purpose of the Program
My Leadership Journey is built on the premise that leadership capability can be deliberately developed through increased self-awareness, clarity, and alignment. When managers operate from clear values and conscious intent, rather than reacting to pressure, habit, or external expectations, their leadership becomes more consistent and effective.
The purpose of this program is to help managers strengthen their leadership foundation across three key areas:
- Impact – driving results while creating sustainable behavioral shifts in how leaders act, prioritize, and execute
- Connection – strengthening awareness of self and others to build trust, improve communication, and lead relationships more effectively
- Transformation – enabling both personal growth and team development, especially in situations that require change, adaptation, and new ways of working
At the same time, the program enables leaders to recognize and unlock the full potential of their people, creating an environment where accountability, engagement, and performance reinforce one another.
I attended “My Identity Journey” in November 2025 in Sofia, Bulgaria. My expectations for the training were already very high, as I was familiar with Pedja’s work as a highly regarded MCC coach. And even with such high expectations, the program managed to exceed them far beyond anything I imagined.
This is an experience that must be lived. It is a powerful blend of a solid theoretical framework, practical tools (like goal setting), and deep inner work that helps you reconnect with your true direction and dreams. My life perspective and self-awareness shifted profoundly after these three days.
A beautiful bonus to the whole experience is the chance to share it with like-minded people, accompanied by plenty of laughter and deep emotions.
Thank you, Pedja, Stepanka, and Ivana, for creating this program. It’s a true gift to have been part of it.
Understanding personal identity is a complex process, and realizing that we carry multiple identities, not just one, is like stepping into the magical realm of our own psyche.
Going through “My Identity Journey” with Pedja, who holds the space with balance, calm, and deep presence, was a transformative recognition of everything that has shaped me so far, and everything that is possible to create ahead. There are no words that can fully capture the experience of those three days, and days that have followed since.
At the end of the training, my honest evaluation was:
“You’re an idiot for not creating and launching this sooner.”
I can freely say that the “My Identity Journey” training is the crown of all the personal development work I’ve done so far. It came at a moment when I was facing questions that lie at the very core of this program. The spark, the purpose — whatever we choose to call it — is what drives us, yet the eternal dilemma remains: should we create from it, and how?
Where is the balance between simply being in our essence and taking action that leads to results? Does one exclude the other? The answer is no — that much I knew. But how to balance the two? That’s what I learned during the training.
I also discovered that every identity I carry within me is merely a tool for channeling the spark into action. And I learned to recognize the moment when it’s time to return from action back into peace. The transformational breathing exercises were a particularly powerful experience — they offered deep insights about myself and helped me release blocks I didn’t even know I had.
After this training, nothing is the same for me anymore.
“My Identity Journey” training came into my life at a moment when I was asking myself, “What’s my next step?” Although I was already professionally accomplished and equipped with a range of tools and knowledge, I felt a need for deeper insight.
“My Identity Journey” became the answer to that inner calling. Today, I can confidently say it stands among the most meaningful personal development experiences I’ve ever had.
What makes it truly exceptional is its holistic approach — integrating emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of growth. For the first time, I experienced such a deeply unified form of inner work. What resonated with me most was the use of identity as a tool for insight and transformation. It opened up an entirely new perspective and has since become part of my everyday awareness.
The training offers a space built on trust, authentic support, and powerful experiential methods. The team of trainers are not only skilled professionals — they genuinely live what they teach.
I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves and clarity for their next step in life.
“My Identity Journey” is a transformational experience that beautifully aligned my strong, leadership-driven energy with the deeper parts of my being. It reconnected me with my purpose and intuition, bringing a profound sense of peace and balance into my life.
It was both phenomenal and intense — as if I’d been given a second chance to live this life more fully and with greater meaning.
I want to share my experience from the “My Identity Journey” workshop led by Peđa and Šćepanka – an encounter that left a strong impression on me and triggered important insights.
The workshop was carefully structured, a combination of inspirational introduction, personal stories and deep practical work. I especially liked the atmosphere of safety and authenticity, in which I could connect with myself in an honest and open way. The card that I symbolically drew and the smell of the essential oil further directed me to the inner themes that were important at that moment.
The meditation led by Šćepanka was powerful and healing. I felt clarity and calmness that I carry with me even today. I connected with myself on a deeper level, and managed to see some topics from a completely new and clearer perspective.
I am grateful to Peđa and Šćepanka for their commitment, openness and knowledge that they selflessly shared. I recommend “My Identity Journey” to everyone who wants to get to know themselves more deeply and create space for change, whether personal or professional.
In the first part of the workshop, Pedja guided us through the different dimensions of identity, explaining how these aspects can act as limiting factors, as well as how we can transform them into driving forces, which allow us to respond appropriately to events that are beyond our control.
The second part of the workshop was led by Stepanka, who led us through meditation and breathing exercises in order to connect with the goals we set. This segment provided a deep, reflective experience, connecting our identities with our goals.
Overall, this workshop, expertly led by Pedja and Stepanka, was a fantastic experience. Their rich experience in coaching has been translated into the “My Identity Journey” program, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and initiate profound changes on all levels.
Taking part in “My Identity Journey” was a truly transformative experience. The powerful combination of coaching techniques, sound healing, and meditation created a safe and deeply moving space where I felt fully connected to my true self.
For the first time in a long while, I could clearly hear my inner voice — without noise, without pressure. It was as if I reconnected with a part of myself I had forgotten, a version of me that was always there, just waiting to be seen and acknowledged.
This journey helped me uncover a new identity — or rather, the authentic identity that had been inside me all along. I just didn’t know how to unlock it before.
An incredible experience of coming home to myself. Deeply grounding, emotional, and liberating.
The past three days I spent in a state of elevated self-awareness, raw truths coming from my core, evoked through connecting with myself. I took off the unnecessary masks and with them enormous tension. I touched the primordial spark of my soul, awakened my intuition and felt power of transformational breatwork journey. I leave the training with clarity about who I am, driven by truly meaningful goals and full of energy for their realization.
Pedja Jovanovic,Ivana Blečić and Stepanka Jovanovic created not just deep awareness but a true journey – My Identity Journey.
I totally recommend the experience.
Dear Pedja and Stepanka, being with you on „My Identity Journey“ was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for your gentle yet powerful mastery, and for the personal touch you brought into this journey—something I know I will remember for life. The program was truly transformational for me, in ways I did not expect, and profoundly impactful.
I’m a strong advocate for „My Identity Journey“ and will be happy to share it with my friends whenever you decide to return to Bulgaria.
Pedja and Štěpánka are a truly unique duo – I’ve never encountered such a combination of expertise, warmth, and depth. Over the course of three days, they guided us deep into ourselves, helped us reconnect with our true essence, and opened doors to experiences that can’t be understood by logic alone. For me, it felt like meeting a part of myself again after years of silence, a part I thought was gone forever.
This was my first “My Identity Journey” experience, but it certainly won’t be my last.
Working with them awakened parts of me I didn’t even know existed. If you have the chance, join the program. Everyone should go through “My Identity Journey” at least once in their life.
In my world of words, numbers, and bare reality, silence was the loudest and clearest presence during these three days. “My Identity Journey” brought me radiant people and a deeply fulfilling experience. Thank you all, each and every one of you, for every single minute we spent together.
Some journeys are ours alone, yet it always matters who walks beside us and who guides us along the way. Thanks to Pedja, Stepanka and Ivana, last weekend I realized once again that people do move forward and that there are those who genuinely want to uplift us, encourage us, and strengthen our belief that personal growth and deeper understanding are possible. “My Identity Journey” continues and, as Pedja would say, with a bit of luck I hope to move toward a spark of joy, kindness, wisdom, and presence.
I keep asking myself where to begin, and how to describe these three incredible days with Pedja, Stepanka, and Ivana.
Should I start with the sense of psychological safety Pedja created, which allowed us to explore our identity and imagine what we truly want in our lives?
Should I highlight the unique experiences Stepanka facilitated… working with our body, our nervous system, and our intuition, learning to treat the body with respect and curiosity rather than merely as a vessel for the mind and heart?
Or is it about the amazing group of people who gathered for the program, the level of openness we shared, the diverse backgrounds, personal stories, and meaningful moments that connected us?
Is it about high-quality tools and a well-designed structure?
It is all of that… and even more.
For me, it was the missing piece I needed, exactly when I needed it.
My heartfelt thanks for this experience!
I am still processing the seismic shift I experienced during the three days of the “My Identity Journey” program with Pedja, Štěpanka, and Ivana. I left the training with tremendous learning, powerful insights, crystal clarity, and a warrior-like determination to achieve what lies ahead. Once again, I can see that magic is all around us.
“My Identity Journey“ is far more than a great training. It is a deeply meaningful experience, one that truly awakens you.
Honestly, I don’t have the right words to express what these three days have given me: clarity of mind, alignment of the soul, and a profound knowing that I am moving in the right direction.
I still get goosebumps when I think about everything we went through.
A heartfelt thank you to Pedja, Štěpanka, and Ivana.
You have created something truly powerful, meaningful, and transformative.
It was a true pleasure to take part in the “My Identity Journey” training, an inspiring journey through Achievement, Inner Connection, and Dealing with the Unexpected.
Sincere thanks to Pedja and his team for a truly meaningful experience.
My deep gratitude to all the wonderful people with whom I shared this unique journey.
My Identity Journey was exactly the right thing at the right moment.
The experience was powerful, deep, and very well balanced between clarity and inner work.
What stayed with me the most was the embodiment part, especially Stepanka’s breathwork. It was my first experience with it, and it created a truly transformative closure of the days, particularly on the first and the last day. The use of essential oils added another layer that beautifully complemented the cognitive side of the work.
The program strongly resonated with what I had already been exploring the idea of roles and how they can give us security, but also keep us stuck. My Identity Journey helped me touch something deeper: a stable inner core that exists beyond past, present, and future roles.
I genuinely loved the training. It was meaningful, well-timed, and deeply impactful.
My Identity Journey was a deeply meaningful and impactful experience.
What stood out most for me were the vision and identity exercises, especially the work around where I want to be in ten years and which identities need to be nourished to get there. Those moments gave me clarity, calm, and a strong sense of inner stability.
The embodiment work added a powerful dimension to the process. The breathwork sessions and essential oils created strong integration moments, especially at the beginning and the end of the journey, and beautifully complemented the cognitive framework of the program.
What I appreciated most was the combination of lived experience, strong presence, and authenticity. This was felt, grounded, and real.
My Identity Journey came at exactly the right moment for me and left a deep impression that continues to unfold.
For me, this training was a true personal milestone. For the first time in a long while, I felt that I had done something genuinely for myself.
The experience invited me to go deeper within and offered fresh perspectives on who I am. What I especially appreciated was how fully immersive the training was, engaging all of my senses through music, sound, scent, essential oils, and breathwork.
This approach helped me move beyond thinking only with my mind and allowed me to truly experience the journey of the past three days. The most valuable insight of all was discovering my true spark and learning how to reconnect with it whenever I need to.
Thank you, Peđa, Ivana, and Štěpánka, for guiding me back to that place.
I joined this program out of pure curiosity, to better understand how achievement, inner alignment, and the unexpected can truly come together.
By day three, it was clear that this experience genuinely delivers on the unexpected. It creates connection on every level physical, emotional, and mental, which feels especially valuable in today’s world.
Beyond that, it reconnects you with your spiritual journey and a deeper sense of purpose. At least, that’s how I experienced it.
This program is genuinely challenging for my intellect and my intuition.
I’m someone who learns through challenge and actually enjoys being stretched, and that’s exactly why I enjoyed this journey so much.
This experience gave me new perspectives and a renewed way of seeing my life. It helped me understand and reconnect with my inner drive, the part of me that brings a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
Be brave, and join the journey.
My husband, Srdjan, and I came here seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves and our individual visions. What we experienced was far more powerful, it helped us align our visions and goals for the future.
If you’re ready to do the same, this journey is worth taking.
In a world where we often find ourselves competing with who we are supposed to be, striving for results and trying to meet expectations, it’s easy to lose connection with our inner voice, the one that whispers what truly matters.
I’m deeply grateful for the privilege and the experience of taking part in the My Identity Journey training, to slow down for three days and reconnect with my inner compass, the one that knows the true direction of my path.
Sometimes this path is not easy, but it teaches us how to listen. And once we allow ourselves to truly hear what silence has to say, everything begins to fall into place and we realize that the place we are trying to reach has been within us all along.
Pedja, Stepanka and Ivana, thank you for holding this space for us. Every single element you had prepared allowed us to take a step forward in our own identity journey.
