I am still trying to figure out the angle for these posts, so be gentle with me. Help me if you can! I will say it upfront, so you know: I want to talk about what we do at XOLYD, my ERP & CRM company. But I want to do it in a way that if you read it somewhere you immediately trace it back to me. Squash is my unique viewpoint on this. And anyone who has ever played the game knows that if you want to improve in "angles", squash is the sport for you. Here’s how meeting a nightmare Athlete made me realize what I perceive in my dream Customer.   After obtaining the WSF Coach Certificate you become sort of an intern before you can consider yourself a full-fledged coach. You can only coach beginners and under supervision. What used to be a vague, abstract idea, becomes reality. Real people walk in the court and expect you to show them how to play.   I “graduated”, let’s say. Did my time. Put in the coachng hours that allow me to wear the badge. Every time someone walked in the court for the first time, I assessed the personality more than the skill. For beginners, lack of skill is not a barrier. Attitude is. Engagement is.   Pretty much what I do on a first meeting with a potential Customer. We assess each other. Are we going to be happy together? Are you really engaged in this or just going through the motions? Are you ready to change? Will YOU be driving the change we need?   In Xolyd we get to choose which companies we want to work with. It is an earned luxury, and way different from what we used to do in the past. I have been in the position where I had to say to a customer that our relationship was not progressing, and the best decision was to part ways. Or to a prospect that we were not the right choice for him. Even when I thought that WE were. But THEY were not.   My worst nightmare of an athlete was the one that replied to all my observations with justifications. I would try to correct their movement on court, explain them that the court was big (62.5 m2) but the area they needed to cover (roughly 34 m2) is shorter and there is an invisible line that only his arm and racquet should cross. And I got back “I do it this way because I feel more comfortable”. Ok, but you are here to change. And I can tell you that it will be uncomfortable before it gets comfortable. Smashing into the side walls is not a good idea, trust me, and you’ll need later the energy you are wasting now.   Similarly, customers embark in IT projects for numerous reasons. Some of them are not even the right ones. My dream Customer didn’t get all fired up after reading some nonsensical generalizations about digital transformation, instead they’ve studied their processes and decided transformation was necessary. No real transformation exists today in business that is not digital. The need must be real. The benefits they anticipate must be the driving force for the transformation. And often things get worse before they get better. PS: Picture taken at Squash Olaias. Court 2.

My First Step into the World of Networking Until recently, I knew nothing about #networking. Everything changed when I met Dusanka Ignjatovic, who invited me to a meeting of BNI (Business Network International) association. At that meeting, I had the opportunity to meet Vladimir Vanja Cerovic, who is completely dedicated to networking and lives for this type of connection. I was amazed by Vanja's energy, and we easily established a connection that quickly turned into a genuine friendship. Recently, we met again and discussed the various possibilities that networking offers. Networking is not just a business tool but also a way to develop authentic relationships with people. Through networking, you have the opportunity to: 1️⃣ Meet people from different industries and broaden your professional horizons. 2️⃣ Exchange ideas and experiences with colleagues facing similar challenges. 3️⃣ Discover new business opportunities and partners for collaboration. 4️⃣ Receive support and advice from experienced professionals who have already been through similar situations. Thank you, Dusanka and Vanja, for the inspiration and support! --------------- 👉🏻I'm Vladimir, a 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 dedicated to helping leaders unlock their full potential ♻️If you found this post valuable, please share it with your network  🔔Activate the notification bell to ensure you don't miss out on my latest content #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoaching #PersonalDevelopment #leadershipcoaching #vladimircoachingjourney #executivecoaching #vladimirbpetrovic

Alright folks, let's talk about keeping the vibe high at work! We all know that happy employees equal a productive workplace, right? So, how do we make the daily grind a bit more fun? Let me introduce you to gamification and healthy competition! Workplaces can be stressful, no doubt about it. That's why it's important to have strategies in place to make things smoother. Gamification, or adding game elements into the mix, can work wonders. Think rewarding projects that encourage healthier habits or spice up those meetings with lighter, more engaging techniques. And let's not forget about healthy competition! Now, I know, competition might sound a bit scary to some, but when done right, it can be a real motivator. At [eureka] Consulting & Games, we've found that healthy competition during team-building activities is a great way for teams to bond and boost problem-solving skills in a safe environment. Team-building games are gaining popularity in the corporate world for a reason—they're fantastic for fostering collaboration, team spirit, and achieving common goals. With a wide range of team-building options available, finding the right fit for your company is easier than ever. Let's kickstart the journey to workplace wellness and efficiency together! #WorkplaceWellness #Teamwork #Teambuilding

👧 “How would you explain to a 6-year-old what you are doing and why it matters?” This is the question/challenge that Jakub Ptacin from Studio Echt posted in #INSIDEOUT SUMMIT at #ViennaUP24 and I, of course, take the challenge. 🔋My team and I are “like a powerbank for doctors, nurses, pharmacists”. 🪫 Sometimes, when they work, they feel that they are running out of energy, -and the same that happens to your electric toys when they run out of battery-, happens to them. 🚀 Then my team and I come along and offer them some sort of “vitamins”, connect them to their own power, to their powerbank, that boosts their energy, refills their batteries, so that they can keep going and do their thing. 😉 You know what they do, don’t you? 🐰 For those a bit older than 6, I would probably play the The Duracell Company famous rabbit advertisement. 🪁 I am #curious to hear if your kids get what my team and I do when we say BeandGo: Energizing Health Teams. Feel free to test and share their comments! (I’d be more than happy to adapt, especially since this will make the healthcare workforce of the future, their future). I love challenges like this one! 🤔 How would you explain to a 6-year-old-kid what you do and why it matters? 🛝🎮🎲🧸🚂🪁🪀🐰

Ice Hockey World Cup Fever This weekend, the whole Czech nation was glued to the screen, thrilled by our team's success. It got me thinking about the essence of their achievement and its parallels with business teams. Clarity: Clear roles and responsibilities. Dependability: Relying on each other's competence. Purpose: Driven by a clear goal and meaning of work. Impact: Understanding the significance of their actions. Communication: Instant and effective interactions. Mindset: Unity and support, playing as one team! Winning the World Cup is rare, but building a successful team doesn't have to be. Focus and intention are key to turning luck into consistent success. My mind was also in Sweden—congrats on your bronze! #Teamwork #Leadership #Success #TeamCoaching Photo: @seznam.cz

Do you ever wonder what kind of jobs will exist in the next 3-4 years? According to Martin Záklasník, who I am currently studying under in the NEXT MBA program, 65% of Gen Z kids will work in jobs that haven't even been created yet. It's a fascinating thought and highlights the rapid pace of technological advancement. As we continue to adapt to the age of AI, it's crucial to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate the skills and knowledge that will be necessary for the jobs of tomorrow. So, what do you think the future of work will look like? Share your thoughts in the comments below! #FutureOfWork #AI #Leadership #NEXTMBA

Hello, dear Network! In so intensive workload there was absolutely no space to share my gratitude to our national hockey team. We are Czechia 🇨🇿 and we are world champions, first time since 2010! This sport for all of us is much more than just sport - according to the statistics there were about 3.74 mil watches of the final match (our population is about 10,5 mil, keep in mind, almost nobody watched alone, but with family, friends, at big screens around the whole country). In total we broke the world record - there were over 797 000 fans watched the game at our amazing arenas in Prague and Ostrava. So, we can proudly say the whole country was a huge part of this golden medal🥇 During these 2 spectacular weeks everybody in our country skipped politics, social opinions and any kind of controversial debates - we were one common organism, called national team and supported our boys all together! What a really interesting point, there were a lot of haters of our head coach, mr. Radim Rulík, and his nomination for this tournament. He decided not to take into final squad great forwards from NHL, as Tomáš Nosek or Jakub Vrána. He did not take also the best defender of Czech league in 2024 - Jiří Ticháček. Before the tournament nobody believed we can bring this gold, but our team and our fans showed to the whole world - this year we are simply the best! The same thing we can apply to our recruitment and work life. You don’t need to be 100% match and top performer for the potential job opportunity you apply for - there are so many other important things, which are valuable - your team spirit, hard work and continuous improvement! All these points could be the main key of your success😉 In case you are interested in open roles within Carrier Czechia (Prague or Beroun) do not hesitate to apply through our official web, we are hiring to our IT, Financial teams, HR, Engineering, Logistics and many others 👍 #carrier #openroles #jobopportunities #recruitment #newroles #czechia #prague #beroun https://lnkd.in/eXrsxbfw

SPORT - Winning, team spirit, behavior! People who know me know that I give my all to be successful, both professionally and in sport. I am very grateful that I have always been able to combine my passion with my profession. This makes me look all the more favourably on topics that I can learn from great sporting personalities. And when a highly decorated super athlete like Tom Brady (the greatest quarterback of all time) works with a luminary like Nitin Nohria from Harvard business school on the secrets of key behaviors of team leaders, then of course they have me hooked. These 90 seconds are worth it. Once again some very helpful insights and confirmations for me. I have been million miles away from being successful in my sports, but what is true for outstanding leaders on the pitch, seems to be very right for managers in companies as well. 1. Put the team first 2. Appreciate the unsung heroes 3. Set the standard 4. Understand individual motivations 5. Complement the formal leader 6. Counteract selfish behavior 7. Connect outside the field What are your thoughts when you listen to the 7 principles? #sport #goat #NFL #leader #behavior #rolemodel

📸 New Journey: Modeling I’m thrilled to share a new chapter in my journey: stepping into the world of modeling! Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a fantastic clothing company and the Polish fitness brand, JustGym. You can check out the photos from these sessions on their website and Instagram account! When I first considered modeling, I thought it would be easy. After all, how hard could it be to stand in front of a camera and look good, right? I couldn’t have been more wrong. This experience turned out to be one of the most challenging endeavors I’ve ever undertaken. Modeling requires a unique blend of physical stamina, mental focus, and emotional resilience. From perfecting poses to enduring long hours under bright lights, every moment demands precision and energy. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about conveying a story, an emotion, and a brand’s essence through every shot. I have gained a deep respect for professional models and the incredible work they do. This journey has taught me the importance of patience, the power of a positive mindset, and the value of teamwork. A big thank you to the amazing teams at the clothing company and JustGym for this incredible opportunity. Your support and guidance made all the difference. To anyone thinking of venturing into modeling or any new professional path: embrace the challenge, push your limits, and never underestimate the power of hard work. Check out the photos on JustGym’s website and Instagram, and let me know what you think! #Modeling #Fitness #JustGym #NewExperience #HardWork #Photography #CareerJourney
