Belgrade, Serbia-
It was an awesome experience
- Danko Dudok, Serbian businessman, host and translator
On Saturday, May 07, 2022, the CGS team hosted a business seminar with friends in Serbia, designed to equip local small businesses with tools and tips for growth. Over 25 people were in attendance, representing industries as diverse as consumer services, childcare, personal care services, and commercial renovation. The three presenters from CGS each led 1.5 hour interactive discussions with attendees on the subjects of leadership, marketing/social media, and emotional intelligence for leaders.
CGS’s local partner, Danko Dudok, said "We had a great time at the business seminar with entrepreneurs from six cities across Serbia and a great team of international trainers. It was an awesome experience to welcome our first CGS training in our country. We really look forward to seeing the next practical steps in our partnership---great things are ahead of us, no doubt.”
Dr. Finzel, conference speaker and best-selling author, said of the event - “Our hosts used our visit and our seminars to launch ‘Business Serbia,’ a band of entrepreneurs wanting to incubate small businesses all over Serbia. In addition to our training, we were able to visit several small businesses and see their great ideas and innovation.”
Representing the technology industry, Michael said “It was encouraging to see that so many people are asking the same kinds of questions that firms all over the world aim to solve - namely, "How do we understand our audience?" And "What marketing activities should we plan for?" I was glad to take part in the CGS training event, not only for the chance to share about my perspective, but to learn from others as well.”
Finally, Henry Deneen, Executive Director of CGS, believes this is only the beginning of a valuable, constantly- evolving partnership in Serbia. We are already planning a return seminar later this year to build on the successes of this first seminar and support and encourage our friends and partners in the development of "Business Serbia".
Stay tuned for more details. Perhaps you could be part of the next adventure!
