Tomislav Perko (32), a travel writer from Croatia. After a career of a stockbroker, broke because of the financial crisis, he hits the road and turns it into his home.

Five years later, he published books 1000 Days of Spring and 1000 Days of Summer, gives a TEDx talk (which has nearly 4,000,000 views) and goes around giving lectures about what it means to live on the road.

- Once I retired from the military I knew I wanted to do something on my own. I attempted and looked into all types of businesses and franchises. What I found was that most of those businesses were not legitimate and frauds and the franchises where too expensive for me. Continued working for others and in my spirit I knew this wasn’t for me and the only way to get what I needed and wanted was to work for myself and to quit wasting my time on things I didn’t desire to do. - Had a life altering health experience and was given the dreaded six months to live prognosis by my doctors and put on disability. Once I outlived the six month and realized that I needed to start planning to live and not die I had to make plans of what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I knew going back to the job-job world wasn’t for me and that I deserve and had a right to seek out something that would allow me to take care of myself and be happy with what I do. - I'm passionate about helping others protect themselves and what they've worked hard to build. I'm passionate about providing services, products, and training to solo-entrepreneurs that will allow them to build the business that they desire to build to fit just them. I'm passionate about helping women entrepreneurs bring back the joy, happiness, fun, and the "WHY" of their business. I want to see them achieve what they set out to achieve when they first created their businesses. I want them to understand that you're not in business by themselves, but I can be there so they don't feel alone, be the support system they need to bounce ideas off, brainstorm with, and be the kick in the pants to do the work you need to do. Specialties: Public speaker, published author, researching, writer, and motivator.

EUobserver's main focus is on EU affairs, but it's coverage goes beyond Brussels. Strategic development of the news service, network and methodologies, in particular European cross-border and investigative journalism, is Lisbeth's main job these days.

I'm the only Chartered Psychologist in the world also qualified as a financial adviser. Organisations such as Chambers of Commerce,PR companies and professional bodies hire me to deliver talks include, "it's obvioius you know what you're talking about", "you're really entertaining" and "we always get a lot out of it that we sort of know, but don't really appreciate until you express it". My main areas are 1. Personal and business finance and risk. I'm on the Chartered Insurance Institute and Personal Finance Society "Subject matter expert" lists for risk and psychology of finance. I'm a qualified member of both organisations. I've given talks to businesses such as IFA firms, banks and insurance companies and to regional and national conferences for professional organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Internal Audit, Institute of Chartered Accountants, CII and PFS and the British Psychological Society. Subects have included understanding financial risk, why we make mistakes with money and one of the most popular "why smart people make bad decisions". 2. Financial education. I've delivered talks for various organisations helping their staff to understand the company benefits, to avoid stress (and consequent financial loss) and to manage their personal finance better. I'm in consultation with, among others, the Money Advice Service, Citizen's Advice and Young Enterprise to try to improve financial capacity (of adults and children) and regualrly deliver talks in branches and to schools and potential sponsors around the habits of good money management and practical ways to develop those habits.. 3. Public awareness of financial issues. I regularly appear in the media (written, radio and TV) as well as delivering talks and lectures. I'm the Money Matters editor for Vialucci magazine, creator of the website Tamingthepound.com and author of the books "Taming the pound" and "Finance Is Personal: Making Your Money Work for You in College and Beyond". I've talked publicly (such as on Ann Diamond's radio show) and in presentations about my experiences with finance and how people can make better use of money. 4. Executive selection and development. I've talked to regional and national conferences for groups such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and the BPS and Division of Occupational Psychology on areas such as effective methods of selection, how to improve decision making and the options with development and training.

I have a passion for helping people realise their potential. As a visual practitioner and facilitator, it is my goal to broaden the visual field of my clients so that the whole spectrum of possibilities become visible. Seeing the big picture helps! My ambition is to get visual thinking into the hands of everyone: a vital skill for prototyping new ideas, break down complexity, effective communication, and for promoting collaboration. Before life as a visual practitioner I worked for 15+ years in TV, producing countless TV commercials and creative content, working closely with ad agencies and production studios. I thrived in organised chaos and learned how to tell a good story. I love meeting new people so if you believe that I can be of help or if you’d like to learn more about how seeing the big picture can help your business please get in touch.
