Martina Merslavič
360-degree communicator, trainer, and consultant
I began my career at Pristop, Slovenia’s leading communications agency, where I served as a junior partner, member of the management board, and Head of Public Relations. At Pristop, I mastered the craft of communication: I helped numerous companies improve the effectiveness of their communications and received several professional awards for my work (including honors at the Effie Awards, the Slovenian Advertising Festival – SOF, and the IABC Gold Quill Awards). Clients recognized the value of my ability to think strategically and respond quickly and resourcefully to both opportunities and challenges.
After 14 years at Pristop, I moved to the client side, joining Siemens, where I led corporate communications for the Adriatic region. At Siemens, I deepened my expertise in B2B communications, for which I was recognized with the global Siemens Communication Award. At the same time, I gained insight into the workings of a complex international matrix organization and learned how crucial communication is when trying to drive change in a highly structured environment. Communication can become a source of conflict and a barrier to progress, or it can act as a catalyst for change and business success—if we engage System 2 thinking and approach it thoughtfully and systematically.
Since 2016, I have been channeling my slightly restless entrepreneurial spirit into my work as a communications consultant and conversational intelligence trainer. I also occasionally moderate business events. Around half of my work is internationally oriented, as I am a certified trainer for the U.S.-based company LifeHikes.

You’re more likely to meet me at a communication skills training session than on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook.
50+ group training sessions per year
Since 2016, I have delivered an average of more than 50 group training sessions per year (roughly one per week). This indicates strong demand for my training and shows that I am an active, well-practiced trainer.

Individual training sessions
When I’m not delivering group training sessions, I am very likely working one-on-one with a client. Because I conduct a large number of these individual sessions, I draw on a broad range of experience, which enables me to support you more effectively as well.

Event moderation
If I’m not leading a group or individual training session, you may find me moderating a business event. Clients appreciate working with me because I can seamlessly switch between English, Slovene, and Serbo-Croatian, and because my event moderation is content-rich, authentic, and connective.

Continuous learning
And if I’m not doing any of the above, I’m probably sitting at my computer—preparing, learning, or in meetings… or out walking my dog, Charlie.
