Tréner, Facilitátor, Konzultant
Something for work
Ondřej spent almost 25 years of his career in the corporate sphere, where he devoted himself to development and education, personnel and human resources management. As a member of top management, he determined the strategic direction of "people & culture" plans in various companies (Telco, banking, FMCG, Tec-companies) From 2021, he decided to pass on his experience through consultations, facilitation and education as an independent consultant. He has worked with humancraft for many years as a client and since 2021 also as a consultant and trainer. His specialization is people and culture and everything related to corporate culture.
Something personal
Someone can say that Ondra is competitive. He describes himself as playful. That's why he won't make any offer for a joint sports competition. Whether it's tennis, volleyball or simply a joint run or mountain bike ride. And it won't be to win, but to play. And so it will be outside the sports rink. He likes to learn new things, play with modern technologies, follow new music trends or the development of cinematography. Two teenage daughters are a huge inspiration (and sometimes frustration) for him and his wife, how the next generation thinks and what the "boomers" can learn from them.
1) How would you describe your work in one sentence?
Helping organizations, teams, leaders and their people to do their work more professionally and with greater taste.
2) What has influenced you in your life and how is it reflected in your work?
A bit philosophical isn't it? And at the same time, reminiscent of an "Oscar acceptance speech. My parents, family, my wife, children, all my work experiences, colleagues, bosses... The good and the bad, all the victories and fckups, we project it all into our work. And I'm very happy, when a daily look in the mirror narcissistically confirms that in the right direction.
3) Why do you work for humancraft?
For me, as a long-time client of humancraft, it was not a difficult choice at all. A group of professionals who have well-balanced values and, on top of that, do their work with great gusto.
4) What has been your biggest challenge in humancraft so far?
I try to make any program I do for our clients actually be a challenge. So that the bar of quality, impact and final client satisfaction is always sufficiently high. And it doesn't matter if it's a 30-minute consultation or a several-month development program.
5) What effect does your work have on your personal development and professional path?
My work is my personal development and professional journey at the same time. I try that everything I do gives me something new and, moreover, formulates my professional path. Sometimes it can be a turn into a dead end, but sometimes that's not a bad thing either.
6) What do you think are the biggest challenges facing corporate education today and how does humancraft try to solve these challenges?
I see the biggest challenge in finding a longer-term impact of the entire educational process instead of a short-term effect in the form of a simple training program.
