Klara Leskovyan
Key Account Manager
Something for work
Klára has tried her hand at recruitment and the position of HR generalist, but she feels most useful in training and development. In this area, she finds integrity between personal and work values and at the same time provides her with broad opportunities for professional growth. As a T&D manager, she implemented systems for talent development, performance management and measurement of the impact of training on the business. As an HR director, she participated in the creation of strategic plans and overall organizational development of a company with more than 400 employees, while leading an international team. She co-founded the Impruvia personal development program and worked as a freelance HR coach and mentor for almost three years. She currently helps organizations find the most suitable solutions for their development needs and supports their business success and employee satisfaction in the role of Key Account Manager.
Something personal
Klára has enjoyed dancing since she was a child. She has been involved in contemporary and jazz, and as an adult she learned Lindy Hop and continues to try new dances. She sometimes goes to dynamic yoga, plays badminton and loves to lie down in a long carving arc on a groomed sunny slope. Another source of joy is time with her family at their off-grid hut in Pošumaví or on trips somewhere, as well as nice moments with quality coffee with friends. She recently completed a course in applied improvisation and is training to become a circular communication facilitator. She likes to have Japanese sencha and Asian rolls, but sometimes she also appreciates beer and drowned people. Her constant crush is pistachio croissant and cappuccino.
1) How would you describe your work in one sentence?
I help companies find the best solutions for the development needs of their employees, thereby changing their work behavior and bringing even greater value to the business.
2) What has influenced you in life and how is it reflected in your work?
Yes, there is a lot. A loving family showed me how important safety is for personal development, high school taught me how to work with stress, study stays at universities in Finland and Canada showed me how enriching it is to be open to the diversity of personalities and cultures, dance competitions showed me the magic of teamwork, but also performing with a serious injury, I experienced great emotions and adventures while leading children's camps, a great employer showed me how to take care of your people and respect individual needs, the birth of my two children brought me great self-knowledge and raising them teaches me Zen-like patience. And I would definitely find a lot more :)
3) Why do you work for humancraft?
Because I agree with their values and ideas about how quality development and care for people in companies can move their business miles ahead. Because they offer quality and professional services that I had the honor of using as a client and because of that I trust them, everyone is constantly learning internally, they are open to each other and at the same time they know how to make fun of themselves and like humor.
4) What influence does your work have on your personal development and professional path?
Moving forward, getting to know each other and constantly learning something new is important to me, and there is no shortage of that at Humancraft, due to the nature of its business.
5) What do you think are the biggest challenges facing corporate education today and how is humancraft trying to address these challenges?
I see the biggest challenges in adapting to constantly changing conditions and tuning in to different-minded generations. Humancraft begins most of its comprehensive training with self-discovery and builds on the foundations of open feedback and a growth mindset, which I see as prerequisites for being able to adapt to a changing environment.
