A high-impact 2-day business summit
for entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and business leaders ready to step out of the noise and walk away with a concrete execution roadmap.
Hosted by Rising by Choice, led by Dr. Neja Zupan and Dr. Pavla Križman Lavrič.
The Philosophy
Inspiration without execution is entertainment.
Every session is engineered for measurable output, not motivation. Real transformation happens when nervous system regulation meets strategic clarity and proven business systems.
How It Works
Two days, three movements:
reset, activate, execute.
Day 1
Reset
Start by stepping out of the noise. Through immersive sessions on energy leadership, mindset, and nervous system regulation, you’ll release what’s been holding you back and reconnect with the leader you already are.
Day 2
Activate & Execute
Turn clarity into a concrete plan. World-class speakers guide you through proven business frameworks so you leave with a personal roadmap and the certainty to execute it.
Monday Morning
Momentum
Bring the roadmap back into your business with defined priorities, aligned energy, and immediate next actions for you and your team.
01
Strategy & Execution
Scalable business frameworks, decision filters, and operating rhythms that turn vision into action.
02
Leadership & Energy
High-performance leadership culture, nervous system regulation, and presence under pressure.
03
Capacity for Growth
Practical ways to scale without burnout, overcontrol, or losing the human system behind the business.
