MEET MIR
We don’t just teach this work. We’ve lived it.
Zvonimir Buljan, known simply as Mir, is a certified neuroscience coach specialised in performance coaching and development. His work is grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and neuro-linguistic programming.
BACKGROUND
A broad, human path
What makes Mir stand out is his unusually broad and human experience of working with people across vastly different contexts, cultures, and challenges.
Mir grew up in wartime Croatia, where the backdrop of daily life included air raids, the constant presence of loss, and the kind of footage no child should have to absorb as normal. It was an early, unasked-for education in how the world outside shapes the world within and how people find ways to keep going regardless.
Growing up also brought personal challenges of a quieter but no less formative kind. Mir navigated childhood obesity severe enough to require corrective leg braces, the kind of social isolation that makes ordinary milestones feel out of reach, and the slow, disciplined work of building himself from the inside out.

STORY
What shaped the work
Later in life, he faced depression, financial hardship, changing countries, and the experience of starting over, more than once.
None of this is offered as biography for its own sake. It informs everything about how he works, with directness, without judgement, and with a genuine understanding of what it takes to keep showing up.
His professional path has been anything but linear, and that is precisely what makes it valuable.
Our system of thought patterns and beliefs shapes our perception, which fires our nervous system in ways that produce predictable emotional reactions.
Mir
A licensed handball coach with a university degree whose final thesis on situational perception and reaction foreshadowed the work he does today. He spent a decade coaching players across all age groups, learning how thought patterns, belief systems, and emotional states directly shape performance under pressure.
As an ESL teacher in Spain, he learned how to meet people where they are.
As a driving instructor, he helped over a hundred people pass their tests. Among those success stories, there were many individuals managing autism, ADHD, panic attacks, anxiety and many more challenges – work that demanded patience, precision, and deep attunement to the emotional states of people in high-pressure moments.
As an entrepreneur, he has built, led, and closed ventures, allowing him to understand firsthand the weight of responsibility that comes with that.
Running through all of it is a single thread he has witnessed repeatedly across every role and every context: that emotions, understood as energy in motion, when channelled with clarity and intention, become one of the most powerful tools available to any performer, leader, or human being.
Mir works in Croatian, English, and Spanish, and brings to every client the same thing he has had to develop in himself – the ability to take agency, choose a response, and move forward with purpose.
★★★★★
“Mir helped me understand what was happening underneath the pressure and how to shift state quickly, without forcing it. The change was immediate, and it lasted.”
