“U životu nije bitno gde se trenutno nalaziš, već šta ćeš uraditi u sledećem koraku – uvek je tvoja sledeća odluka presudna.”
Moje ime je Bojan Mihajlović, međunarodni sam autor šest knjiga koje su postale bestseleri i prevedene na 22 jezika. Karijeru sam gradio u velikim korporativnim sistemima na liderskim pozicijama u Srbiji, Crnoj Gori, Nemačkoj i Americi, gde sam sticao dragocena iskustva i znanja. Proglašen sam dva puta za menadžera godine, 2011. godine u Crnoj Gori i 2013. godine u Srbiji, što je značajno obeležilo moju profesionalnu karijeru. Moje obrazovno putovanje vodilo me je od Srbije, preko Njujorka i Čikaga, do Londona.
Kao pisac, posvećen sam stvaranju priča koje podstiču čitaoce širom sveta da razmišljaju na drugačiji način nakon čitanja i usvajanja novih ideja. Godine 2016. dobio sam priznanje za autora godine na Sajmu knjiga u Beogradu, oborivši rekord u godišnjoj prodaji knjiga, što smatram jednim od ključnih trenutaka u svom radu.
Moja najpoznatija knjiga, „Manipulacija“, prodata je u Evropi u tiražu od preko 100.000 primeraka, dok je američko izdanje, pod nazivom „What if your whole life was based on Manipulation“, ostvarilo rekordnu prodaju u 2019. godini i našlo se na listi bestselera The New York Times-a.
Pored „Manipulacije“ (2015), koja do sada ima devet izdanja, objavio sam i knjige „Like“ (2017), „Invisible Selling“ (2020), „Fokus“ (2022) i „Odluka“ (2023). Svaka od njih spaja oblasti psihologije, preduzetništva, liderstva i autobiografije, inspirišući čitaoce da unaprede svoje razumevanje sebe i sveta oko nas.
Razumevanje ljudskog uma i emocija nije samo moja strast, već i rezultat formalnog obrazovanja. Završio sam master studije iz kliničkog savetovanja i psihoterapije, odnosno Psychology (Conversion) MSc, na Univerzitetu Queen Mary u Londonu. Pored toga, u Beogradu sam završio osnovne studije iz marketinga na Univerzitetu u Beogradu, a nakon toga i master studije iz upravljanja projektima. Smatram da kombinacija praktičnog iskustva i teorijskog znanja oblikuje moju misiju da kroz pisanje i rad ostavim pozitivan uticaj na ljude.
Danas živim i radim u Čikagu, u Americi.
