Mojca Križnar
founder, catalyst, coach
For as long as I can remember, my choices and decisions have been driven by curiosity, a desire for deep experience, playfulness, and beauty. Being a part of and contributing to the wheels of constant development, exploration and creation of new, better perspectives is my path and the reason for founding Blue in Green.
After completing my Master’s degree in International Relations at CEU in Budapest, I took a job at the international consultancy HILL International, where I have been working in various leadership roles for twenty years. A milestone on my journey was marked by collaboration with the British consultancy Nowhere (2012), which gave me an insight into designing transformational processes. From then until today, I have had the opportunity to follow and support many personal and corporate stories of profound shifts. In 2019, I combined years of valuable experience, knowledge, and insights under the Blue in Green brand. Under her auspices, I also work as the Leader of Points of You® Slovenia.
Dr. Michael Paula
catalyst, transformation guide
I have been a hungry learner all my life, a seeker for wisdom, beauty, and new experiences.
Walking a path with a heart is my inner compass, engaging with life as an adventure. At Blue in Green we tap into our collective wisdom, so we all benefit by working together to co-create the future.
After completing my studies in industrial engineering at the Technical University of Vienna, I began my career as an assistant professor in the field of management and organizational theory. I received my PhD with a dissertation on planning methods in consulting. For more than fifteen years, I have held leading positions in major international organizations of Austrian industry and in Siemens. In 2001, I became self-employed and focused my work on the areas of creativity, leadership and organizational culture development.
My interest in the technical profession and leadership has always been intertwined with exploring the ways in which ancient civilizations operate and organize. In my search for approaches and tools transferable to the context of modernity, I had the opportunity to train for seven years at the Ehama Institute in New Mexico. Today, this ancient knowledge, aimed at the development of consciousness, is more than suitable for ‘re-use’ in the servitude of individuals and organizations on the path of discovering their purpose and unleashing creative potential.
The story behind our name
Blue in Green is a metaphor for invisible dimensions and forces, which impact business success as well as quality of life. Our name is so to speak the colour formula of sustainable success.
GREEN would not exist without two basic and invisible elements: blue and yellow. In a figurative sense, green represents the ASPIRATION of organizations and people to sustainable success, the power to change, adapt, re-new and a source of energy to overcome all challenges and uncertainties. It represents all that is an obvious aspiration.
In this context, BLUE represents everything that is hidden from the eyes, that is unconscious, but nevertheless conditions “green success”. Blue is a metaphor for organizational CULTURE, the value system, the quality of relationships, and the creation of conditions to express one’s own unique tone of green.
YELLOW, on the other hand, represents a concern for the source of the strength and VITALITY of organizations; that is, caring for the well-being and development of the people who bring their life energy, creativity, knowledge and experience to the work environment.

OUR SECRET INGREDIENT
There is one word that tells how we do what we do and even why we do what we do and that is JAZZ.
In order to be able to provide support to clients emerging from different realities, we had to develop skills and attentions that are very similar to those that distinguish jazz musicians. We come to you with different instruments, we are a little provocative, we can act surprisingly, we are playful and very attentive to what is happening, we use what you need at a given moment, we play and develop a melody together with you.
Jazz is distinguished and defined by improvisation, exploring the new, freedom of form, unique expression, but this in no way means that it violates fundamental musical laws. The principles that guide us in cooperation with you are:
- respecting the lawfulness of your music
- developing of the human dimension in interaction
- attending to moments of breakthrough quality.
Jazz represents more to us than music. It is a source of inspiration and learning. It also offers an excellent metaphor of the contemporary context, requiring organizations and leaders to evoke the ability to constantly adapt, develop, and improvise in the moment of playing. Therefore, we believe that learning to play jazz today is a necessary skill in business and life.

The 6 concepts we follow
The 6 concepts we follow
BLUEBERRY EXPERIENCE
Personal experience has the greatest power of movement. We can explain you everything about the blueberry jam – where to pick the best blueberries, how to cook top quality jam and in what ways you can serve it. However, if you don’t make it and taste it yourself, you will never understand its magic.
In our collaboration, this means that we always design interactions and processes in an experiential way. We believe that people know all the answers and ingredients. We help you dig them to light and stir them in a meaningful and sustainable – the blueberry way.

CIRCLE
The circle is a way of being for us. Its symbolic meaning is imbued with mutual respect and encounter at the level of equality – human to human. It creates room for diversity to manifest without judgement. It allows the flow of life energy; it offers the possibility of thinking together and to be amazed by surprising results.
In our collaboration, this means only this and all that we sit in a circle, without physical or mental barriers, in our authenticity and truth, expecting the unexpected.

In our collaboration, this means only this and all that we sit in a circle, without physical or mental barriers, in our authenticity and truth, expecting the unexpected.
PLAYING WITH TIME
We understand time in its duality, as the ancient Greeks did. We play with the linear dimension of physical time (Chronos), that is time that runs, in a way that we slow down so that we can speed it up later. At the same time, we are betting on the power of the Kairos time dimension, which means perceiving the ripeness of the moment, which carries within the potential to shift.
In our collaboration, this means taking you away from the daily rhythm and offering you the experience of playing with time. This digression is a conscious pause, it is a time for reflection and a deeper look. You return to the daily ‘volume’ refreshed, disburdened and with new perspectives.

BACKBONE
Attending to the ‘backbone’ on individual and organizational level is the purpose of our work. We want to see more uprightness, more integrity, more commitment to just cause and more authenticity in the world.
In our collaboration, this means supporting organizations, teams, and individuals in establishing an inner awareness and genuine identity of their own backbone to walk upright and advocate for good things.

7 G
The principle of seven generations (7G) is a thousand-year-old principle of caring for future generations based on the heritage of our ancestors. It raises awareness of the origins and impact of our decisions on the well-being of descendants.
In our collaboration, this means that we always pay respect to ancestry and assess decisions and progress through the prism of the impact on future generations.

JAZZ
Jazz represents in music a genre liberated from form and the art of improvisation in the moment of its creation, still following the musical laws. The charm and beauty of jazz are more than in any other genre conditioned by the flow of ideas and human energy between musicians.
In our collaboration, this means that we create conditions for playing jazz, i.e. experimenting in a playful and liberated way. We develop attentions and skills that enable success in a context that requires eternal search for new paths in leadership, performance and collaboration.
