I work with managers, directors and board members, and with the companies that develop them. We find the skill that is holding back the next step, work on it, and measure the shift.

The Skills Matrix is my own tool. It wasn’t translated from English or bought off the shelf: each of its 45 statements describes behaviour I watched from the front row — in board meetings and at the negotiating table, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Developing key people and successors. A clear diagnosis, work on the skill that actually makes the difference, and a measurable shift — not another generic training.
The best specialist has just become the boss. The first hundred days decide whether they will lead a team or keep doing everything themselves, just with a bigger title.
Decision-making, uncomfortable feedback, delegation and standing up to authority. Skills nobody rates at the top, yet everybody feels.
We don’t work on everything at once. We work on what holds you back the most, and we check whether anything has actually changed.
The Skills Matrix and, if needed, a 360° assessment with 3 to 10 raters. We find the skill that most holds back your next step.
One-to-one coaching on real situations from your week, not on theory. We set the rhythm around your calendar.
Six months later we reassess. The shift shows in the numbers and, more importantly, in behaviour other people notice.
For management teams I run workshops built around the company’s real issues: decision-making, accountability, feedback, collaboration. Topics that usually come up at the bar, we bring up at ten in the morning.
The Skills Matrix: nine competencies compared with what your role requires. You see the result immediately and also receive it by e-mail. The questionnaire is currently available in Croatian; an English version is on its way.
The Matrix asks what you actually do on a Friday at 3 p.m., when the joke is over.
Self-assessment is half the picture. The other half comes from Skills Matrix 360 →

“What made the decision for me to engage Miro as my coach was the connections he made between the objective personality assessment and the subjective stakeholder interviews. (…) I made changes that still ‘stick’ today, and I have an arsenal of tools to access. I appreciated his caring and kind style, as well as his honest approach.”Davor DokoCFO and board member, Podravka
“What I appreciate most is Miro’s combination of coaching and leadership competencies with his business leadership experience. As a result, he is able to provide me with insights and considerations quickly so that I too can adapt and see results.”Miroslav PelkoDirector of Asset Management, Wiener osiguranje
“Miro’s authentic leadership inner career coach techniques for naming and reframing my challenges are helping me reduce the stress-related fog in these situations. (…) Great material, great presentation, great value, great job!”Slava KociuskoFounder and owner, Enterprise Resource Software Company, Sydney
More than 25 years in top management: CFO and board member at major Croatian companies, including Podravka, Croatia osiguranje, Iskon and Allianz Zagreb. I know first-hand what the pressure looks like at that level — and how few people will tell you the truth about it.
I was a certified mentor in the EU’s BOND2 programme (HAMAG-BICRO), helping entrepreneurs grow their companies.
Thirty minutes, no strings attached. You tell me where you’re stuck, I tell you whether I can help. If I can’t, you’ll be the first to hear it.
