Founder of People With Spark
Hey there, I'm Gabrijela.
Coach, NLP Practitioner and Master, with a career in IT and leadership.
One of the things that fascinates me most is how unique every person is. Each of us has different interests, challenges, gifts and a whole little universe within. The fact that there are billions of us, each carrying such a rich inner world, never stops amazing me.
And one topic that has always been important to me is living our full potential and creating an environment where that potential can grow.
My background
Change is the only constant. How we lead people through it makes all the difference.
I’ve spent 10 years leading teams and delivery in international IT environments. My formal education combines both sides of the work: a master’s degree in Informatics with a focus on organizing business systems, and an MBA.
I’ve led a team of 32 supporting banking and transport clients, and a senior team of 29 SAP administrators across five international clients, growing the team by 30%. I helped drive an Agile transformation for a unit of 200 people, led my team through a company spin-off, and supported a full service transition from one location to another.
Every one of those changes looked like a technology project. Every one of them was really about people: how confident they felt, whether they understood why things were changing, and whether they still felt seen. That’s where I learned what helps people and teams not just survive change, but grow through it.
My story
There is always something we are figuring out, working through or dreaming about.
I’ve been interested in personal development since I was 18 years old, constantly exploring ways to understand myself better and grow. Eckhart Tolle was one of the first teachers who deeply influenced me, and later I trained as a Coach, NLP Practitioner and Master, exploring different approaches to how we think, act and create change.
At the same time, I built my career in IT and leadership. Working with people showed me again and again that no matter how experienced or successful someone is, there is always something they are figuring out, working through or dreaming about.
I know this from my own experience, too. During 2020, I had countless ideas and the energy to try them but I kept making the same mistake: I was doing everything alone.
Later, I discovered how different it feels when you have people around you who are also creating, experimenting and figuring things out. People who encourage you, challenge you and help you keep going. That became one of the reasons People With Spark exists.
For individuals
You already have the spark. Let's help you start.
As a coach and NLP Master, I work with people who already know what lights them up but keep postponing it. Together we explore the limiting beliefs that hold you back and find the right resources to move forward with your goals.
One session
Single Spark Session
One focused online session on Zoom to get clear on a specific goal or the step you are stuck on.
Four sessions
From Spark to Start
A package of four online sessions on Zoom to turn your idea into action, step by step, with support along the way.
One month
Ignite
A one-month, action-focused program with weekly commitments and real accountability, for when you are ready to stop postponing.
For organizations
Every organization has a spark, because every person has one.
Drawing on my background in IT and leadership, I design NLP-based workshops that solve specific team problems: helping people understand each other, communicate their value and work through conflict. Every workshop is tailored to the team, and many are co-facilitated with Marta.

Why People With Spark
I want to create a space where people can explore what matters to them, bring their ideas to life, meet others on a similar journey and give their potential room to grow.
Because I believe our unique talents, ideas and stories are some of the most beautiful things we can bring into this world.
