Bringing Knowledge and Practice: Lejla Mehmedovikj’s Journey Through the Macedonia2025 Executive Education Program in Canada

Macedonia2025 and John Bitove afforded us exclusive access to an exceptional Executive Leadership Program and exemplary leadership across a spectrum of Canadian companies. The curriculum at Queen’s University featured inspiring lectures on transformational and charismatic leadership, complemented by invaluable one-on-one coaching and a rich exchange of insights with fellow Canadian professionals.

Our visits to Martinrea, SummerFresh, and Bombardier showcased a culture committed to the highest standards of first-world manufacturing. Susan Niczowski’s remarkable success story, alongside Bombardier’s dedication to excellence in luxury aircraft production and Martinrea’s unwavering focus on safety and innovation, will profoundly influence my professional growth.

I extend my sincere gratitude to the Bitove family for their warm hospitality during our unforgettable evening at the Scotiabank Arena for the Toronto Raptors game, and to Prof. Goce Andrevski from Queen’s University for his generous welcome in Kingston and generous knowledge sharing on Strategy.
