"Effective leadership is self-knowledge", this is the basic principle of Migena Gjerazi - the international coach. She has trained over two thousand people individually, enabling them to create authentic and successful leadership. Since 2017, she has built a successful career, offering leadership and emotional intelligence development sessions in many countries around the world. She is coming to Kosovo for the second time to train employees of local companies, where she says she likes how the group works here. From Copenhagen, where she lives and works, Migena travels frequently to hold trainings in Dubai, England, the Netherlands, and Greece, as well as through online platforms for clients from Africa and Asia. "I started in 2017 that I have my own private business and I am a coach and leadership trainer. Previously I worked with finance, human resources, administration and most of the time with numbers. And then I saw that I'm much better with people than with numbers and I introduced you to the coaching path, all the interest, the coaching certification. And after I got certified, I have my own company and I work with trainings, with large groups, but I also work with people one on one, personal coaching sessions. I started working in Copenhagen because that's where I live and in the meantime I've traveled a lot internationally and work online, but I also travel to different countries around the world", says Gjerazi. Within the month, she holds up to four trainings, but takes Kosovo as an example of how the workers are emotionally connected to each other. "What I like in Kosovo, the first is the welcome, they are very engaged and very responsible. There is a direct connection between each other, the kindness they have for each other. It is a very close culture. In different countries, they maintain a lot of professionalism, while in Kosovo, what I have noticed is that they relate to each other very personally and a culture is created that we are 'friends' first and then we are 'colleagues', which is very good for teamwork and leadership", she adds. Migena Gjerazi, who is an international trainer, says that effective leadership is when people know themselves. "Effective leadership for me is important for people to know themselves. To be aware, to have the personal consciousness of where they are, how they react, when they react out of fear, or how they react when they are led by their passion, by their vision or purpose. Because they are two very different approaches... It's all about self-awareness, how well I know and guide myself so that I can lead other people as effectively as possible. Because if you don't know yourself, if you don't know how you react in different situations, it's difficult to keep that space for other people, so that they too can speak freely", she says.
