Jana Křížková

Něco pracovního

Jana has 20 years of experience in one of the largest international corporations in the world. Here she gradually held many positions in the sales department — from sales representative to key account manager to positions with responsibility for overall business cooperation with key retail chains. The enthusiasm for working with people and their development is why Jana decided to start imparting her experience and knowledge through different types of training. Her specialization is practical exercises and experiential form of education. In addition, she collaborates externally with VŠE, where she is entertained and inspired by students' opinions.

Něco osobního

Jana has a wonderful family, three raccoons including a wonderful and supportive husband. She likes to learn new things, and she does it best in the company of other people. He gets the most energy from sitting with friends over a glass of quality dry red wine. Jana loves to move and still dreams her dream of humbling the 100-kilometer limit on roller skates. The current record is 95.2 km. The biggest scarecrow for her is boredom, routine and stagnation.

1) Jak bys popsala svou práci jednou větou?

My job as a coach is varied, requiring me to always be on the lookout and work on myself, and when thanks come from the participants for the benefit, I live on it for another month.

2) Co tě v životě ovlivnilo a jak se to projevuje ve tvé práci?

In elementary school I wanted to be a teacher, in high school I wanted to be a manager in costume, and in college I wanted to work with cool people. For almost 20 years, I worked in various business and management positions in a successful American corporation, and it was there that the idea of passing on my experience to other people matured in me.

3) Proč pracuješ právě pro humancraft?

A combination of great work and great people. humancraft is demanding in the expectation of the quality of the work done and at the same time offers all possible support so that I can do the work with quality. My colleagues in the humanities are very inspiring and fascinating - I enjoy their knowledge, experience, creativity and diversity and cooperation with them is fulfilling.

4) Co byla doposud tvá největší výzva v humancraftu?

To master training in an online environment - until then, I bet a lot on my “personal” energy and was afraid that I would not transfer it to online. It was also a period when we had to learn to work with new tools, redo the existing handouts and expend much more energy to make the participants happy.

5) Jaký vliv má tvá práce na tvůj osobní rozvoj a profesní cesty?

They are connected vessels - I could not do the work of a tutor and not educate myself. I learned to devote time and money to self-development.

6) Jaké jsou podle tebe největší výzvy, kterým dnes korpotátní vzdělávání čelí a jak se humancraft snaží tyto výzvy řešit?

There are certainly more of those challenges - but I see the weak involvement and support from the managers of the training participants as the biggest one. At the same time, their role in ensuring that the training actually brings the expected benefits and changes after it ends is absolutely crucial.
