Teacher's information
Ing. Veronika Káchová

I graduated in Economics and Management at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. After graduating, I started working as a Business Controller in a multinational IT company, where I was given the opportunity to lead a small team, which led me to coaching. I have been actively involved in coaching since 2019. As a coach, I try to inspire clients to follow their dreams, not give up, and to support them on their journey.

Monika Máchová, Coach ACC

I support individuals on their path to work and life satisfaction. I help people in the areas of finding inner motivation, overcoming barriers and finding ways to use their potential. In coaching, I apply the ability to listen, empathy, positive support and faith in people and their potential. I am based on previous practice, where the main link has always been working with people (human resources, recruitment, consulting and coaching). I am a member of the International Coaches Association ICF. More information about me at www.monikamachova.cz

Helena Konečná, EMCC Coach

Despite many years of experience in the manufacturing sector and in services, I gradually went from consulting and leading specific training and project management to process improvement to the study of psychology and coaching, which makes the most sense, as it is not limited by any tools and leads to discovering and fulfilling what you really need.

I am still surprised and amused to discover the power of attention in combination with own will and the perception of another person for the important awareness and personal shift that takes place within coaching, and which I and the coachee enjoy. I provide space and lead you to your own naming and awareness of the situation and its context. Finding your own answers will move you to a greater awareness of your own competencies, strengthen or anchor you in the right way to your goal and in your next steps, which you will really and gladly take.
