Monika kavanová

Mentor & Coach & Consultant

Find the way to rediscover and fulfil your mission and reach success for you and your organisation. I can help.

New Business Balance

I am a mentor, coach, consultant and Managing Partner at New Business Balance.

As it says in the name, “New Business Balance”, I believe in the importance of balancing the needs of the people and those of the companies and markets. Both the current ones and the future ones. Happy, creative and successful people at work build productive organisations that thrive in the market. What you need is some respect, humour, and strong vision. And also a sense of partnership, the right processes set up, a strong innovative culture and a bit of enthusiasm.

My approach has three main pillars:

People and their needs

Smooth processes that support efficiency

Realistic, smart and motivating goals

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

Find a new perspective in your situation. Identify your own needs and name the main problems so you can find a way around them. Suddenly, new solutions will arise, and you will be able to see brand new ways forward.

Are you eager to dive into new projects but are missing some energy, support and push? That´s what you will get, along with understanding and realisations of your own strengths. And then you will learn how to use them to move forward and further develop.

All the tools and skills you get can be used in any future situations that ask for a new direction or solution.

SUPPORTING COMPANIES AND ORGANISATIONS

Together, we define goals and select the appropriate business model. We plan out processes and design ways to increase your employee engagement.

I am a seasoned manager, my know-how includes experience in large international organizations and also being a business owner and a consultant.

With my 25 years of experience, you will not only get a lot of suggestions for solutions but also access to a valuable network of experts in various fields.

MONIKA KAVANOVÁ

I am a life optimist with a sense of humour. My head is in the clouds but my feet are firmly grounded. I enjoy supporting others in finding confidence, energy and strength to materialise their change.

Various methods of mentoring and coaching give me a better chance to find a solution to many situations and problems. I always find out the specific capabilities, needs and challenges of each individual client. I can help you understand where your strengths are and how you can fully utilize your potential. You can move forward with help of recommended tools and techniques. I can give you the energy, desire and confidence for finding new ways, creating a vision and reaching your goals. By using stories, comparisons and other methods we will find new ways, visions and solutions to your challenges.

I can provide mentoring, coaching, consultancy and workshops both in the Czech language and English.

I am always trying to merge different points of view when looking at a problem.

My life and work experience allow me to have an overview of various situations, see them in context and understand them. To enrich our cooperation I can offer 3 perspectives.

PERSPECTIVE OF AN EXPERIENCED MANAGER

I have more than 20 years of experience in international management positions both in the Czech Republic and abroad, for example in large IT companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and SAP.

PERSPECTIVE OF THE OWNER OF A COMPANY

I was the founder and co-owner of the consulting company Sales2Win for 5 years. My husband and I have established Statek Břežany more than ten years ago, it is still successfully operational. I currently run my own consulting company New Business Balance.

PERSPECTIVE OF A CONSULTANT AND COACH

For more than 10 years I provide training and consultancy for various organizations that differ in size and area of operation.

WHAT DO MY CLIENTS SAY

Michaela (Kubicová) Skala

Průvodce světem technologií Apple, koordinátorka IT portfolia,  CEO MasterMindklub.cz

With appropriately chosen questions, Monika Kavanová systematically moved me in my work and personal life. She taught me how to find my way in new environments, to trust my instincts and judgment. Better communicate my thoughts, listen, think about how to express myself so that my ideas are accepted. Choose my battles. Also, that everything has its time and it doesn’t have to be done NOW AND THIS WAY. After a twelve session with Monika for one year, I feel more whole, more confident, and less hasty. She is just the best mentor I would ever dream of or wish for. Thank you, Monika, for every your word.

Monika Jindrová

Ředitelka Asociace veřejně prospěšných organizací ČR

Děkuji Monice za podporu Asociace veřejně prospěšných organizací ČR. Motivuje a inspiruje nás několik let. Své zkušenosti nezištně předává také našim členským organizacím. Naposledy jsme se na setkání ředitelů věnovali krizovému řízení a managementu změn – téma v této době více než aktuální. Děkuji za skvělou prezentaci a předání zkušeností nejen za sebe, ale také za všechny přítomné. Pokud hledáte mentora, kouče, poradce na problematiku managementu, řízení, lidské zdroje – doporučuji Moniku, má zkušenosti z businessu i nezisku 🙂

Suzanna Phillips

EMEA Senior Legal Counsel, Zendesk

Monika has acted as my mentor for the last year via a ‘Women in Leadership’ course run through my company, Zendesk. Monika has a wealth of experience which she has been generous enough to share and I have found our sessions invaluable. Monika is compassionate, professional and a brilliant strategist; she has really invested in my professional development, taking the time to coach me before important events. She has enjoyed hearing about my successes but also helps me navigate through more challenging opportunities, with encouragement, great humour and sound advice. I am so grateful for her time, patience and guidance; this experience has been life-changing.
