Keynote (20 minutes)

A long-term career in one company - is that crazy? Or am I just lazy?

Was it carefully planned, or did it simply happen? What are the ingredients that have shaped a long and successful career, and which moments teach us the most along the way? Join Dita Stejskalová, Partner at Ogilvy Czech and Head of External Communications at Allwyn Czech Republic, for an honest reflection on more than 30 years in the communications industry. Dita will share the key decisions, opportunities, challenges, and lessons that have shaped her professional journey.

She has helped companies shape reputations, build brands, and create meaningful communication, has been ranked among the most influential women by Forbes, and actively mentors women in business.

Leadership case study (20 minutes)

The empathy blind spot: why we excuse the people we like the most

In leadership, we often talk about empathy as one of the most important qualities of a good leader. But what happens when empathy becomes selective - when we are more understanding, patient and forgiving toward people we like or relate to, while holding others to a stricter standard? This interactive leadership case study explores a common but often invisible trap: when empathy, similarity bias and leniency bias create double standards in teams. Through a real-life inspired scenario, the audience will decide how they would respond to a high-performing but challenging team member who is personally close to the leader. Using live voting, we will explore different leadership responses and why the “most human” option is not always the most responsible one. We will also look at how avoiding difficult conversations can damage trust, fairness and psychological safety. The goal is not to question empathy, but to broaden it -because strong leadership requires fairness to the whole team, not just individuals we relate to most.

Portfolio career: Design work around your life, not your life around work

The world of work is changing fast. Traditional career paths are no longer the only way to build stability, success, or meaning. A portfolio career offers a different approach: combining multiple roles, projects, income streams, skills, and interests into a career that gives you more freedom, job security 2.0 and options.In her talk, Katerina Moravkova will share how to think about work less as one fixed job title and more as a flexible portfolio you can intentionally design around your life, values, strengths, and ambitions. She will explore why this approach is becoming increasingly relevant in a changing world of work, especially in times of uncertainty, AI transformation, motherhood and shifting expectations around flexibility and purpose.Whether you are considering a career change, building a side project, freelancing, entrepreneurship, or simply want more freedom in how you work, this talk will help you see your career as something you can actively shape – not just something that happens to you.

Speaker: Katerina Moravkova (Founder of Kariéra pro holky, Career Advisor and HR expert)

Keynote (20 minutes)

Building promotion readiness and visibility

Getting promoted isn’t just about working hard. What matters more is demonstrating your impact, and making sure the right people see it. In this session, we’ll focus on three key areas: gaining clarity on what success looks like in your organization, building a clear record of your achievements and growth areas, and proactively shaping how others perceive your contributions. You’ll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately, including how to define your career direction, track your impact, and have meaningful promotion conversations with your manager.

Keynote (15 minutes)

The lies we tell at work

We all do it. "Happy to help with that." "That change works great." or "I'm fine." These small professional lies feel safe but they're quietly costly. In this talk, Kate explores what really separates the people who get promoted, trusted, and remembered from those who don't. Hint: it's not talent. A practical and honest look at why radical honesty is less about courage and more about clarity.

Speaker: Kate Douskova (Confidence & Storytelling Coach, Former CXO-level product & innovation executive)

Keynote (20 minutes)

Longevity for leaders: How to sustain energy, performance & health long-term

“What does it really take to stay healthy, energetic, and sharp throughout a long and demanding career — and what is just hype?
In this talk, we’ll explore the science of longevity: what we know about how and why we age, and which factors actually have the biggest impact on long-term health, energy, and performance. We’ll cut through common biohacking trends and focus on what is evidence-based versus what is still experimental or overstated. We’ll also look at practical “biohacks” grounded in physiology - things like sleep, movement, nutrition, stress management, and recovery - and how small, consistent changes can meaningfully improve both lifespan, healthspan, and long-term career sustainability.

Speaker: Tereza Vagnerova (Doctor of Preventive Medicine, Woman Longevity & Clinical Nutrition Expert)

Keynote (20 minutes)

You can choose from 2 different workshop tracks.

Workshop Track I.
Leadership

Workshop (50 minutes)

Difficult conversations with clarity and authenticity

Difficult conversations are often less about communication skills and more about fear, defensiveness, and the pressure to appear “professional.” Even experienced, empathetic people can lose clarity, shut down, overexplain, or avoid saying what really matters when relationships, identity, or psychological safety feel at risk.In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore what happens in us during conflict, why misunderstandings arise, and why communication techniques alone are often not enough. Through practical examples, reflection, and short roleplays, participants will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others, learn to recognize defensive reactions, and discover how to stay both authentic and clear in challenging conversations.

Facilitator: Hana Svabikova (Facilitator and lecturer, Institut nenásilné komunikace)

Workshop (50 minutes)

Burnout-proofing your ambition: The path of compassionate resilience

How do we stay high-performing and career-oriented without losing ourselves to burnout? This session is designed for professionals who want to balance their drive for growth with a healthier, more sustainable way of working. We’ll look at the patterns of stress and energy that often lead to exhaustion and discuss how to redesign your daily routines to protect your well-being. Part of our time will be spent learning how to respond to the pressure of high-demand roles with self-compassion rather than harsh self-criticism. By shifting how you handle mistakes and rejection, you can build a resilient system for long-term success. You'll leave with a practical set of tools for managing your boundaries and energy, ensuring you can lead with clarity and kindness—both toward others and yourself.

The AI-powered week: Real workflows for work, life, and everything in between

We've all heard that AI can save us time. But what does that actually look like on a Monday morning when you're preparing for a call, planning your week, and still haven't figured out lunch? In this hands-on session, Barbora Malinovská, AI trainer, keynote speaker, and BD professional, opens up her real daily setup with Claude: automated morning briefings, weekly kick-offs, LinkedIn content planning, cycle- and energy-matched scheduling, and more. No demo accounts, no sanitized examples, just a live look at a system built through more than three years of daily use.
You'll leave with a clear framework for identifying which of your own recurring tasks AI can take over, and hands-on experience building your workflows regardless of your role or industry.
