🎙O nama:

Misija ovog regionalnog obrazovnog podkasta jeste da osvijetli brilijantne karijere studenata, preduzetnika, istraživača i inventora koji u tišini svog doma, daleko od očiju javnosti, kreiraju sjajne stvari. Cilj Spotlight Podcast-a je međugranična saradnja i kreiranje platforme za networking i stratešku saradnju na svim naučnim poljima. Takođe, sa akademskog nadgrađivanja i internacionalnog iskustva polako i stidljivo pokrećemo teme ličnog i profesionalnog razvoja podstičući proaktivnost i preduzetnički duh. U martu 2022. god. smo snimili prvu epizodu i od tada, na našu sreću, entuzijazam i zadovoljstvo, znamo samo za uspjeh.

Voditelj, snimatelj, montažer i izvšni producent je Janko Škuletić, koji je nakon desetogodišnje karijere u oblasti investicija i saradnje sa investitorima iz Ujedinjenih Arapskih Emirata i Bliskog istoka, kao i karijere u bankarstvu, odlučio da se posveti obrazovanju i danas je jedan od vodećih agenata za studentsku mobilnost u regionu Zapadnog Balkana.

Kroz opuštenu brainstorming sesiju, razgovaramo o prednostima i izazovima uspeha u vezi, ali i o onima koje donosi samostalno postizanje ciljeva. Kako balansirati ljubav i karijeru? Da li je moguće postići harmoniju u oba aspekta života? Divna deli svoja zapažanja i iskustva iz rada sa parovima i pojedincima, kako bismo zajedno produbili razumevanje ove kompleksne teme.

Očekujte otvoren i iskren razgovor koji će vas navesti na razmišljanje o sopstvenim željama, ciljevima i očekivanjima u ljubavnim i profesionalnim sferama života. Pridružite nam se i učestvujte u diskusiji!
