Business

As a CEO of a middle sized company and active athlete I am very aware of what it means working hard, looking for optimal solutions and all with the goal of achieving better and bigger results. At the same it is clear that huge effort by way of working more, doesn’t guarantee success. With his expertise, rich knowledge, appropriate communication and understanding, Petar has helped me tremendously to achieve little daily victories over and over again. That way I increased efficiency I end results. The second thing he pointed out to me, and what proved to be extremely big factor in achieving excellence in work, is managing my time and energy. Petar’s techniques are very fast, practical and efficient in teaching how to be proactive and constructive in working environment. With Mr. Nikolić’s knowledge, I guarantee more practicality, more purpose and pleasure of the whole collective and in such way, inevitably more success in the whole company.

I began working with Petar when the stress caused by my balancing between private and business obligations became too big to ignore. My self-imposed expectations were so big that everything felt like a lost cause in advance. I’ve spent too many days worrying or waiting to be floored by some piece of bad news, very unhappy with myself. At first, I expected Petar will magically make me get my time wasting down to a zero and I would become Croatian Elon Musk afterwards. Luckily, our relationship ended as me being “just a bit” more efficient, but a lot happier person.

Due to accumulated stress as a consequence of working on my PhD, developing my own business and living in a new country, I decided to look for psychologist’s help. I wanted to balance fulfilling my ambition and lowering stress. Considering the nature of the problems, I thought working with someone focused on development of human capacities would be best for me. I met Petar previously in my life through successful business partnership. In the first few contacts with Petar, his organizational skills and professionalism were obvious. Soon I approached him determined to solve my problems. We first identified the issues and set clear goals. In the next meetings, Petar used series of tools within cognitive-behavioral therapy to make me aware of my thinking distortions. Between sessions I had clear tasks that tested my distorted beliefs and corrected them gradually. I will not go overboard if I say I felt better after each session.

“Just like so many ambitious career people, every day I am exposed to great external and internal pressure that is visible through various symptoms. Determined to address some of them, I began working with Petar. I learned how to improve my focus, prioritize, use my time more efficiently, define and limit my activities. It would be understated to say that has made me more productive, rested, at peace and a better manager.

Petar defines the problem at its core and then he offers tools to solve it. Always prepared and organized, his presentation is easy going, which is relaxing and makes everything simpler and easier to get over.

But, what makes Petar really special is that he loves people. He really loves his calling and he cares. In a crazy and fast business world, at least one Petar is necessary to stop the time, to make us look at the challenge from a different perspective and to get the best out of us.”

My relationship with Petar I would rate to be a straight A. Petar was always there for me, ready to listen to me and, more importantly, he had a solution for every situation I found myself in. Also, he was full of understanding for me. Although I am forgetful, he was always there to remind me of every little thing. Most of all, he helped me grow as a player and as a man, since it was the essence of our work together. I’m glad that the confirmation we’ve worked good and that both of us were happy during that time, is that we turned our business relationship into a friendly one.

Before working with Petar Nikolić I was skeptical and stubborn. After the initial session I realized it was another level in sport and in life. Petar taught me how to handle stress, competition and external influences. He helped me rise from my surroundings and show I am different. His training is not only meant for competition, but for practices as well. After all, that is where champions are made. Al in all, Petar is a very important person in my life and he became that with his love for sports I willingness to work. He was always at disposal, and that made things easier for me, even while I was in Ireland.

Apart from being a great psychologist, always having new knowledge and new solutions because he works on himself so much, Petar Nikolić is a very open man. He got out of me what I didn’t know to recognize and say. He was important to me, not only in sports, but for other things in life I was able to share with complete trust. When I couldn’t talk to coaches, to parents, I could release my psyche and relax with Petar. I would recommend coming to Petar to everyone, because as an expert and as a person he truly understands the athlete’s needs.

Pero is a person that is commited and passionate about his job. Loving what he does, he’s enjoying every session, working and looking for progress. He is a kind of person up for a challenge, full of expert knowledge, with amazing will to help. I have always known what I want, and he taught me and is still teaching me the most important thing… HOW?! How to be the best version of yourself! We are working for over 3 yrs now and I keep waiting for out next session! For me, Pero was the turning point in my career.

“Working with Petar was very useful for me and after every session I felt better than before. He helped me a lot preparing for big matches, especially focusing on my tasks. I’ve made an improvement in understanding how my behavior and thinking affects my game. Also, with specific tasks, I have increased motivation during the training sessions.

I would recommend working with Petar to athletes because of his understanding of sports and athletes. If need be, I would encourage interested parties to contact me if they want to have a better impression during a conversation with me.”
