Dear future mentee,
My name is Snezana and I am a leadership and accountability coach. My goal is to help you gain clarity, set goals and create a plan to achieve them. I walk alongside, making sure you stay motivated and on the right path to reach your goals.
Before founding Snowation with the focus on coaching and management training and consulting, I worked as a project manager for about 10 years and spent 8 of those in the mobile gaming space (first as a manager and then as a Chief Marketing Officer). I led teams of marketing specialists, graphic designers, data analysis and optimization specialists.
I am very passionate about personal and professional growth, which is why I believe that investing in people is the best way to make progress. Seeing someone learn, develop and grow just makes my day.
As I am on a journey of constant learning and growth, it would be my pleasure to share my knowledge and also learn from you along the way. So I am looking forward to our chat.

4.July 2022I had an absolutely brilliant session with Snezana! She asked the perfect questions to make me realise things and was very encouraging but real at the same time. I left our call with a lot of food for thought and lots of new ideas and for that I am very grateful. I can't wait to meet with her again.
S.
26.January 2022It is helpful, through careful listening you asked few questions that are directing my attention to next steps that are obvious but I still put them aside. I appreciate your ability to sharply asess what might be blocking someone of going forward and to see what's next, at least in my case. I'll think about that more carefully.

26.January 2022The session with Snezana was one of the most helpful and clarifying sessions I had so far!
Everything she mentioned and the tips she gave me really resonated with my current situation and my current goals.
Again, thanks so much for your time!

2.December 2021Snezana is a brilliant woman! She is really open-minded and it's easy to see her readiness and willingness to share knowledge and experience. We talked about my career path and this conversation gave me a better perspective for setting my goals and following them. This conversation made me feel relaxed and I felt a kind of a relief because I was really stressed questioning myself if I am doing the right things right now within my career.

1.December 2021Yes, Indeed. Snezana shared her experience with me about Game Development, English Linguistics, and how to manage web development. Very wonderful discussion around Artificial Intelligence and Metaverse and so on.
S.
24.November 2021An excellent communicator, straight to the point. You can discuss related questions also.
Snezana listens very carefully, initially we discussed some marketing questions, gave me some gaming industry insights.
You can bet that Snezana talks based on experience. She will give her best to answer your marketing and game industry related questions. I think that Snezana likes to learn and to share her knowledge. It's my pleasure to recommend her, so I'm booking another session now.
Deep Work - Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
Cal Newport
Master one of our economy’s most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this “exciting” book (Daniel H. Pink) from an “exceptional” author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

ViewEssentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
Greg McKeown
Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload? Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised? Do you ever feel busy but not productive? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of ‘We can have it all’ and ‘I have to do everything’ and replacing it with the pursuit of ‘the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'. By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.

Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change in their search for the cheese. One of them eventually deals with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze walls for you to discover. You'll learn how to anticipate, adapt to and enjoy change and be ready to change quickly whenever you need to. Discover the secret of the writing on the wall for yourself and enjoy less stress and more success in your work and life. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights will last a lifetime. Spencer Johnson, MD, is one of the world's leading authors of inspirational writing.

His works have become cultural touchstones and are available in 40 languages.
ViewIt Takes What It Takes - How to Think Neutrally and Gain Control of Your Life
Trevor Moawad, Andy Staples
Foreword by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson From a top mental conditioning coach—"the world’s best brain trainer” (Sports Illustrated)—who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal. He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways-subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted-we lose. As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their competitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.) Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he's derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he's earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield. Moawad's motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that's nearly everybody's default, with what he calls "neutral thinking." His own special innovation, it's a nonjudgmental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and supreme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action. Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level-it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses-let them go. "The past isn't predictive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete-or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not ... will win."
