Coach, Facilitator
Vít Šrámek
Something work-related
Vít joined the humancraft team some time ago as an external partner, drawn by the team’s dynamic yet professional approach to clients and its fairness toward partners. He also appreciates that humancraft cares not only about the expertise of its team, but also about people’s human qualities and the positive atmosphere within the team. As a professional coach, Vít focuses mainly on individual work with clients and supporting teams through facilitation and team coaching. He also enjoys passing on coaching skills, as well as various management skills he gained during his corporate career.
Something personal
In addition to his profession as a coach, Vít fell in love with Argentine tango in 2013 and has been quite deeply involved in it ever since. Besides attending courses and workshops in this specific dance, he travels to Buenos Aires to learn tango directly at the source. He may have fallen for this dance because it combines connection within a couple, awareness of oneself, one’s partner and the music, creativity, movement, elegance, depth, and much more — which, in many ways, makes it an analogy for the work of a professional coach. He also works with the Veronika Kašáková Foundation Fund, supporting children leaving institutional care.
1) How would you describe your job in one sentence?
I create a safe and stimulating environment for clients in which they can learn and grow.
2) What has influenced you in life, and how does it show up in your work?
I have been influenced most by my parents and the way they raised me, then by the people I have met in both my professional and personal life, and also by my own desire to explore, grow, and learn. I now offer the same opportunity to those who want to make use of it, in the form of professional coaching.
3) Why do you work for humancraft?
humancraft is my key partner because of the people and the culture they create together, and because we have a lot to offer one another.
4) What has been your biggest challenge at humancraft so far?
Given my preference for personal contact with people, it was the COVID period, which meant shifting to an online way of working.
5) How does your work influence your personal development and career?
It is like yin and yang — one influences and cultivates the other.
6) What are the biggest challenges in corporate education today, and how is humancraft addressing them?
Dehumanization caused by working from home; a different approach to responsibility; and different motivations and responses to challenges among the youngest generation. humancraft adapts its development programs to these topics, either by incorporating them into its existing products or by creating new products specifically focused on these and other themes.
