OPIM
About me
My journey to my work started when I was 16 years old and I've decided to improve my English and get some experience abroad. I left my small hometown in the South Bohemia to a big multicultural London to work as an Au-pair. These two months I often faced number of uncomfortable prejudices and pathetic stereotypes being an Au-pair from (as I always heard) 'Eastern Europe'. However, I myself, experienced my own biases against multicultural life in the West, which I was fascinated by. When I returned back to the Czech Republic I've realised the importance to speak up about embracing diversity around us which is needed and not to let diversity be considered as a problem in a society.

During my university studies in the Czech Republic I was volunteering for number of NGOs and when I was twenty three years old I have founded a non profit organisation OPIM. During my postgraduate studies of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Durham in the UK I became a member of the Council of Europe international group of advisers and trainers on human rights education and diversity. From that time on I've been fully involved in training and consulting in this field of expertise as my profession. I enlarged my education with a distant course on psychology and an intensive certified coaching course at the Masaryk Institute CVUT in Prague.

Over the last 20 years I have been devoted to diversity and inclusion as a consultant and trainer. I closely cooperate with highly recognised organisations focusing on diversity & inclusion in Scandinavia, the Living Institute Denmark, with the Council of Europe, the European Commission and the Czech top ranked leadership academy ELAI - European Leadership Academic Institute.
I write to public media and HR business publications on diversity. I like to share my passion for diversity and experience in conferences, panel discussions, public or company events in the Czech Republic and abroad. See media.

Everyone has a value. Everybody should get equal opportunities. We all need diversity.
I help people and organisations to discover the power of diversity and why diversity is needed for us - humans and also for a business.
I develop diversity and inclusion road maps as part of a business strategy in the organisation.

I offer consulting and training to help the managers, leaders and hiring managers transforming their mind set and mitigating biases. They acquire understanding of diversity as an advantage and enrichment for themselves and the organisation. They look into what diversity can bring but also the dark sites of diversity in non-inclusive environments. They get an insight into an inclusive company culture which fully and utterly use people's talents and potentials because they feel welcomed, respected and they belong. My clients will understand the positive impact of such D&I initiatives on overall employee retention, financial revenue and employer brand.
