🚢 Sea-sational packing chronicles: Which sailor are you?

Talking with my friends on the ship, we realized that most of us have different habits of packing and greeting our families. Also, we realized that these 3 different scenarios we all lived after some time working on the ships. 


1. The Gaming Guru 

Grabs whatever's in sight, stuffs it in a bag and is good to go! All-nighter with video games? Heck yeah. Thirsty? A sip of water will do. Off to the airport, thinking about that last level they couldn't beat. Plops on the airplane seat, passes out, and dreams of game controllers. Touches down, realizes, "Whoa, I'm about to be on a ship!" Finally gets that seafarer vibe and hits the hotel bar before realizing they're late for the cruise bus. Classic!



2. The Emotion Ocean 

A whole emotional soap opera before hitting the ship deck. Weeks in advance, they're visiting EVERYONE, turning goodbyes into Oscar-worthy monologues. On Instagram, it's "Final sunset before the big voyage 🌅", and then the family circle, so teary it's like a season finale. The packing? Oh boy, two weeks of chaos - packing, unpacking, and the oh-so-holy packing lists. And then the airport. After a tearful family send-off, suddenly, it's party mode on the plane. Upon landing, it's crew dinner time and the mandatory "I landed safely" call back home.



3. The Zen Voyager

Minimal fuss, maximum efficiency. Packs with surgical precision. Quiet goodbyes and meaningful convos. No IG story, but a mental storybook of plans. Airport? A breeze. Uses flight time wisely - a mix of movies, books, and power naps. At the destination, they're the cool cucumber. A relaxing hotel evening, quick family call, followed by early morning stretches. Onto the ship bus, with a calm energy that silently says, "I got this."

So, fellow sailors, which shipper are you? 🌊🚢💼

Hope this adds the spice you're looking for!

Kako sam postala Fractional CHRO

  Snaga promene U poslu, kao i u životu, jedna stvar me uvek vodila – promene. Nisam neko ko voli da stagnira. Učim, prilagođavam se, razvijam. I što se više menjam, to više shvatam – upravo u toj promeni leži moja najveća snaga. Moj put kao Fractional CHRO nije počeo sa jasnom idejom da ću ovo raditi. Iskreno, mnogima i danas nije jasno šta tačno radim. „Jesi li HR?“ – jesam. „Jesi li konsultant?“ – i to. „Znači, agencija?“ – ne baš. Svaka firma s kojom radim dobija nešto drugačije. Svaka Fractional CHRO agencija je drugačija. Baš kao što nije svaki HR isti, nije ni svaki Fractional CHRO isti. Ulazim u kompanije i prvo što radim – skeniram. Ne doslovno, ali skoro. Gledam kako funkcionišu, kakva je kultura, koliko su zdravi procesi, gde cure resursi, gde ljudi odlaze, a gde stagniraju. Onda pređem na edukaciju – da vidim šta imaju, šta im nedostaje i šta moram da popravim. Ako već postoji program, preslušam ga. Ako ne postoji – kreiram ga. A onda – krizni HR – upravljanje ne...

Lidija Disney

Ko je zapravo stvorio Lidiju Disney – ja ili moj trener? Kako je nastala Lidija Disney – priča o uverenjima, strahu i preokretu "To nije za tebe." "Budi realna." "Ljudi odavde ne idu tamo. Oni odlaze, rade i crnče, ali za veći novac i poštenije uslove." Rečenice koje upijamo od malena. Glasovi koji nam postaju sopstveni. Nisu uvek zlonamerni, često dolaze od onih koji nas vole i samo žele da nas zaštite. Ali s vremenom, postaju zidovi. Zidovi koje ne preispitujemo. Zidovi koji odlučuju umesto nas. Odrasla sam u Srbiji, u društvu koje te uči da se ne izdvajaš. Da ne maštaš previše. Da se držiš sigurnog. Ja sam znala da sam iznutra jaka, ali nikada to ničim nisam dokazala. Nisam iz bogate porodice, nisam imala veze ni poznanstva. Bila sam devojka u koju niko nije verovao. Uključujući mene samu. Trpela sam mobing na poslu, ali nisam znala da postoji bolje sutra. Da JA mogu da postignem nešto. Da JA mogu da odlučujem o svom životu. A onda se dogodio trenutak k...

No escape. Just growth.

  I Ran Away. Then I Came Back. I never liked asking for help. I don’t know if society, family, or simply life taught me that, but I know that when things get tough – you grit your teeth and push through. Who needs weakness? Who needs to show they don’t know something? That they can’t handle it? Here, you either figure it out or you disappear. In this country, in this time. And everyone who knows me also knows that I worked abroad. That I ran away, but that I also returned. Always returned. And here I am now, once again. With her. My coach. They told me she was good. That she cuts to the bone , but that it’s worth it. I told myself I could handle it. That I wanted to. Coaching. A word that people here misunderstand, dismiss, or mock. Why would anyone pay someone to ask them questions? they say. But coaching is not about the questions—it’s about the answers you don’t want to hear. And she knows exactly which ones to bring out. The first time I sat across from her, I felt relie...
