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.

Petr Rosol

Future Worksplace, Team Lead, SoftwareOne Czech Republic

I know Monika for a long time and I trust her, so I asked her for help. Thanks to her mentoring, I was able to get the necessary insight and confidence to achieve what I wanted. Thanks Monika for your insight and the energy you gave me.

Michaela Lutišanová

Oblastní ředitelka, NADĚJE, oblast Litoměřice

Za sebe za workshop děkuji, odnesla jsem si několik praktických podnětů, které proberu na naší oblastní poradě a domluvíme se, jak je uvedeme do praxe. Zároveň si dávám pozor na to, abych zachovala „hlavu v pohodě“.

Ľudmila Kloudová

Marketing Manager

Monika was my mentor through mentoring initiative of Minerva in 2018/2019. She helped me during hard time to gain back my self confidence. She is very perceptive and experienced and I am glad I could learn from her some techniques and soft skills which have made my life better.

Evgeni Drobkov

Co-Founder at Smart4B group, Reported directly to Monika

Exceptional interpersonal skills and strategic thinking, along with goal-oriented activity are best to describe Monica’s qualities as professional and colleague. I would strongly recommend her for any position that requires people management skills and IT knowledge based involvement.
