1. LEADERSHIP AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - the new normal
"AI generates answers, leaders bring meaning."
March 12, 2026, 6-8 p.m.
Artificial intelligence is not just a technological change, it is becoming a test of modern leadership. Managers need not only to learn about its capabilities, but also to strategically incorporate it into decision-making, team work, and innovation. The goal is not to replace humans with machines, but to enhance human potential through intelligent systems.
The real challenge is not in the technology, but in the judgment of when to trust the data and when to trust your own intuition. In the new normal, AI increases speed and efficiency, but the responsibility for decisions remains solely human.
Lecture participants will receive:
-
a clear picture of how AI is changing the role of leadership and decision-making
-
insight into managing collaboration between humans and AI systems without losing accountability
-
tools to assess when to rely on AI and when to rely on your own judgment
-
concrete guidelines on how to use AI for more successful business

2. FOUR GENERATIONS and THREE WAYS OF WORK - challenges of teamwork in the new normal
"From Boomers to Gen Z, from the office to the armchair: How to bring the incompatible together into one team?"
April 23, 2026, 6-8 p.m.
Modern teams are no longer connected only by a shared space, but by a shared understanding. The simultaneous presence of four generations and three work models - remote work, hybrid work and office work, brings a great diversity of perspectives, but also new challenges for culture, communication and leadership in the workplace. Differences in expectations, communication styles and attitudes towards authority can no longer be resolved by universal rules.
Therefore, the role of leaders is not to impose a single pattern, but to create clear frameworks within which differences can function.This lecture shows how to build a connected, effective and sustainable team in the conditions of a generationally complicated new normal.
The lecture participants will gain:
-
insight into how 4 generations and different work models affect team dynamics
-
tools for reducing misunderstandings and strengthening trust in hybrid and "remote" teams
-
the ability to harmonize different communication styles and expectations
-
guidelines for setting rules for cooperation without imposing a single work pattern
-
practical insights on how to build a multigenerational and successful team

3. BUILDING TRUST - in the world where no one trusts anyone else
"In the era of AI, leadership is defined by the VALUES you apply when technology makes everything possible"
May 28, 2026, 6-8 p.m.
One of the fundamental skills for success is building trust. In a world marked by deepfakes, polarized narratives, online presence, and remote work, trust no longer comes automatically from roles, titles, or institutions. It is built, or lost, through everyday decisions that demonstrate what we truly stand for.
This topic addresses values such as ethics, integrity, respect, fairness, and courage, because in an environment with low trust, people pay less attention to what is said and more to how it is acted. Whether you are leading a team or making personal decisions, trust is the foundation of healthy relationships and functional collaboration.
Lecture participants will gain:
-
insight into why trust is becoming a key currency in a digitalized and skeptical environment
-
the ability to consistently act in accordance with your own values such as integrity, respect, fairness, and courage
-
tools for building and maintaining trust in everyday situations, whether in a team or in your personal life
-
practical guidelines for strengthening influence and credibility through consistent life and professional behavior

4. MAN vs. MACHINE - human empythy as a strategic advantage
"Don't ask if AI will replace you. Ask how you can become irreplaceable"
October 1, 2026, 6-8 p.m.
Although more and more jobs are being taken over by artificial intelligence, empathy remains a key managerial skill. The more jobs are taken over by algorithms, the more capable and creative people are worth. A new hierarchy of work is being created in which the added value is no longer linked to the product or technical knowledge, but to experience, ideas, trust and an authentic human touch.
Today, AI takes over tasks, processes and analysis, and human interaction becomes a real competitive advantage. People's trust, engagement, motivation and retention cannot be automated. The future belongs to leaders who master the art of empathy.
Lecture participants will receive:
-
a clear understanding of why empathy is becoming a key strategic advantage
-
ability to strengthen engagement, motivation and retention of people through quality relationships
-
concrete guidelines on how to use empathy without losing professional standards and responsibility
-
a new look at using AI as a lever that enhances the value of those who understand how to use the technology

5. LIFE AS A GAME - how to win in the game of life
"Yesterday we were smart, we wanted to change the world, today we are wise, we are changing ourselves"
November 5, 2026, 6-8 p.m.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. The decisions we make, the way we plan, act, think and communicate with others affect whether we will be happy and successful in the game of business and private life or whether we will experience failures. In order to lead others, we must first learn to lead ourselves. In order to avoid defeats, we must understand life as a game in which we either win or learn.
This topic deals with attitudes, values, habits and approaches that enable a better understanding of ourselves and others and the definition of clear goals and visions that we will then be able to achieve.
Participants will gain:
-
the ability to view their own business and private life as a project that can be successfully managed
-
insight into how to defeat the enemy within and change bad habits
-
tools for building and maintaining a system of values and interpersonal relationships that enable personal and business success and happiness
-
practical guidelines for daily work on themselves and improving their business and personal environment

Hello


WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE LECTURES...

KREŠIMIR BUBALO
PEVEX
Member of the Management Board, the best CFO in Croatia 2018
It was a pleasure to participate in Afterwork with Srića motivational lectures in such a challenging year. There are not many people who can teach and connect modern management theory with practice like prof. Srića . Afterwork is a great concept for learning, but also for rethinking about ever-current topics. See you in the new cycle!

DR. NADEŽDA BILIĆ
POLIKLINIKA BILIĆ VISION
ophthalmologist and owner
I really admire Professor Srića and his understandable way of communicating with the participants of the program. The way he presents the matter, which is not quite close to everyone, is simple and with many examples from practice, applicable in everyday work. I added the knowledge needed in the daily organization of work and team management as well as dealing with stressful situations. Definitely useful!

ROBERT ŽIROVIĆ
DIAHEM
office and financial director
The company DiaHem attended as a team, but also individually several Afterwork with Srića motivational lectures that not only helped, motivated and educated my employees and me, but also relaxed us after a hard day. We also met many interesting people during networking after the lectures. I sincerely recommend investing in people in this way and showing them what modern leadership and management looks like not only in working with employees, but also in better cooperation with business partners.

MILAN VESEL
IMAVES
director
Afterwork with Srićom is an event I look forward to. Despite commitments or a long day, I gladly attend lectures to remember why all this is good and how it can help me as a person and an entrepreneur. How to improve the way of thinking, of myself and my work organization and society in general... Totally positive! I like After-Afterwork with Srićom, a party with refreshments, meeting new people, as well as meeting dear acquaintances!
