To learn how to walk again Maja joined a marching band. Following her bandmates who became leaders, Maja learned the proper way to walk again following their actions. If you want to be a good leader make sure you are an expert who understands your staff, your group so you can lead by example. Because when it comes to leadership, your actions will always speak louder than words!

Severe war injuries made it extremely difficult for Maja to run and play sports without experiencing excrutiting pain. However, new technology and innovative approach led to development of new materials for a dolphin, her Great Dane Rosie, and allowed Maja to run and play sports pain free. Embracing innovation and technology, however simple it may seem, changes lives daily!

When Maja was severely injured instead of being a victim she changed her perspective and turned a negative experience into a positive one that helped her not only to survive but also to thrive. Having the ability to change your perspective allows you to turn any situation into a positive learning and growing experience.

During the genocide Maja and 60,000 other civilians had no electricity, no food, no water, no medicine, no outside contact. To survive, they became one - like honeybees. Whether it's collaborating with different divisions, departments, or just coworkers, team work will allow everyone to reach staggering growth and results!

Keynote addresses the questions we all have during these challenging times: How should we be feeling? What should we be doing? Maja offers her insights on how to make sense of the chaos, live a purpose-driven life, and lead purpose-driven organizations and teams.

Keynote addresses Maja's time in the genocide and draws parallels between the two eerily similar scenarios, while offering lessons from the genocide that helped her community survive and thrive.

During the genocide, Maja learned the importance of positivity, resilience, team work and overcoming obstacles at a very young age. This helped her to achieve great success as an entrepreneur, athlete and as a person in general.

In today's economy it's crucial for corporations to build a loyal and effective workforce which is motivated and adds value to the company, while individuals achieve their personal goals. This is exactly where Maja can help you!
 

Maja believes that there are no "one size fits all" solutions, when it comes to keynote presentations. To have the greatest impact at your event, she studies the overall culture and needs of your audience. While telling her shocking and touching story how she survived the genocide, lost her leg, and was still able to thrive and remain positive, she helps your audience to:

• achieve their personal and professional business goals
• overcome obstacles in life and in business
• be positive and resilient
• become better team players
• become better leaders 
• become more effective and efficient in their roles 
• have plans for the future

After 15 years, over 100 surgeries and trying different prosthetic legs Maja never gave up on her dream to run again. With her tenacity Maja ran a 5K marathon, but it also revolutionized the prosthetic industry which changed lives for countless war wounded veterans. Showing us that, regardless if it's in business or life, winning solutions come in many different forms. But if you give, you will never win!  

Despite her difficult circumstances, Maja’s ability to listen to others was the catalyst to building a successful software company which generated six figure, yearly retainers. As a leading sales person in her own company Maja learned how to develop long lasting relationships with her customers, understanding their problems and then offering a solution.
