The D Business Leadership Summit will gather a number of top experts in Zagreb this year, including NASA psychologist specialized in space habitation, Stijn Thoolen.
This three-day event, which will be held from November 21 to 23, 2024, provides a unique opportunity for managers from various sectors to enhance their skills and knowledge.
The summit organizer, Siniša Drobnjak, is known for his expertise in personal and business transformation. According to him, the summit is designed to help participants step out of their comfort zones and gain new perspectives. This event, now in its fifth year, attracts an increasing number of participants from healthcare, sports, and technology sectors.
According to research by the Carnegie Institute of Technology, 85 percent of personal financial success is based on communication, negotiation, and leadership skills, while only 15 percent is a result of technical knowledge. This insight is crucial for the organization of the DBL Summit, which focuses on the development of “human engineering”.
“In the last 20 years, technology and social networks have significantly changed dentistry, turning it into a business where communication is as important as clinical skills. Most healthcare professionals often neglect their own needs, leading to feelings of unfulfillment and lack of purpose. Our summit brings together experts who selflessly share their experiences to help accelerate the development of non-clinical skills,” emphasizes Drobnjak.
Personal growth is possible only when we leave our comfort zone, as confirmed by summit participants who return in large numbers every year. Although initially conceived for dental medicine doctors, the DBL Summit now includes topics relevant to all healthcare managers. Particularly interesting is the lecture on family values by the brothers Jasper, Robbert, and Stijn Thoolen. As a space habitation psychologist, Stijn Thoolen explores the limits of human endurance for future Moon missions, and his lectures at universities like Harvard are highly valued.
The first day of the summit will be dedicated to clinical skills, featuring experts like Victor Clavijo and Edson da Silva, in collaboration with the Croatian Society of Aesthetic Dental Medicine. The following two days will focus on business skills and experiences of successful entrepreneurs, athletes, and consultants. Among them are swimmer Dina Levačić, business coach Pilar Cabral Majerović, crisis communication expert Krešimir Macan, and entrepreneur Saša Cvetojević.
Siniša Drobnjak, the summit founder, has been running successful companies dealing with IT solutions, dental product distribution, and business education since 1995. As a graduate electrical engineer, he is a co-author of scientific articles in biomedical engineering and the leader of six EU-funded projects. His education at prestigious business schools in the USA and Europe has further contributed to the success of his enterprises.
Drobnjak's company has developed an application for dental offices used by a large number of offices in Croatia, as well as an application for electronic nursing documentation management in cooperation with the Croatian Nursing Council. His passion for personal development and sporting challenges, such as completing ultramarathons and Ironman races, further highlights his commitment and inner strength. He is also recognized as a humanitarian and is the recipient of the "Turopolje Heart" award from the city of Velika Gorica.
