A big thanks on behalf of the International Study Programs and Baruch College: Zicklin School of Business, USA to Jana Tikalova from OPIM. She was leading a workshop for our New York University students of the MBA executive program focusing on HR. Jana's task was to introduce diversity and inclusion in the Czech Republic in comparison to the USA, and disclose how to best approach the topic. Jana has done an excellent job in an interactive form, although the program was online. The students actively discussed and they were given a task to practically solved and introduce their ideas. Great job, Jana! We are honored to work with you.

Jana prepared an online workshop for our employees, we really appreciate especially a number of practical examples,
interactions with our employees, and discussions. Our employees understood how and why
unconscious biases influence us. Also, we uncovered the identity cover issues.(2021)

We have chosen and invited Jana to speak about unconscious biases on the job market to the employers and parents during our conference. Jana's dominant attributes of her contribution are to be human, direct, interactive and have a bird-view approach. It was an uneasy topic that was delivered with ease. Participants received not just a theory input but Jana awakened their emotions. Great job!! (2021)

We have invited Jana to moderate and facilitate our virtual conference where diversity and inclusion were topics to open to our employees. The whole program of the conference was interactive and fun. Presentations, exercises, quizzes under Jana's facilitation and moderation brought lots of interesting questions, AHA moments, and understanding of the topics exactly as we wanted. We are grateful for Jana's maximum efforts during the preparation, professionalism, and mainly her openness and very human approach.(2021)

Jana joined our Femme Palette panel talk on Diversity & Inclusion in January and her contribution was outstanding! The audience enjoyed the fact Jana was sharing real-life experience with inclusive company cultures and stayed long after the panel to patiently answer all the questions the attendees had. Jana is a true expert on the diversity topic and her enthusiasm and smile is contagious. (2020)

Jana helped us to launch diversity and inclusion topic in our SKODA Academy, developed and executed set of modular workshops within our Diversity programs for students and teachers. I was absolutely pleased with her interactive approach, engaging activities, deep knowledge and her overall style of delivery. It is not an easy topic to open, especially for teachers, but she has managed perfectly to adapt to our groups and making diversity a topic that concerns everybody. Jana has agile approach coming with interesting innovative methods and bringing in interesting people. Thanks to her we experienced an amazing tool Living Library with her NGO OPIM perfectly fitting into our concept. (2020)

Jana is a passionate professional with a clear purpose to build better diversity and inclusion in Czech society and business.I joined training she delivered to Prazdroj´s leadership team and appreciated her approach where she not only proved her knowledge of the topic and very good facilitation skills but also prepared special training reflecting team and company specifics.(2019)

I asked Jana to help me to shape a program for parents on maternity and parental leave in Kiwi.com. At that time, I had no idea how it could look like, I only knew that with 50% of women and the average age of 27 years, we need to be prepared and have some program in place to make sure Kiwis stay Kiwis during parental leave. Being great professional, patient listener and good human, Jana never forced any solution on us, never had 'this is what you have to do' approach. Jana provided us with the options, shared her honest feedback and views. Together, we prepared flexible grow.kiwi.com program for parents and managers which can grow with changing preferences and conditions within the company. I'm proud to see parents attending the workshops and development opportunities we provide, see them curious about happenings in the company, see managers getting insights about diversity topic. This wouldn't be possible without Jana's involvement, her openness, honesty, continuous feedback she asks for and improvements she implements right away. I highly recommend Jana's services in diversity & inclusion area to anyone who doesn't want to stay on the surface and wants to ensure meaningful impact in the area.(2019)

Jana is an inspirational trainer and consultant with solid expertise in the topic of diversity and inclusion. I appreciated her ability to show data, business cases to support why and how companies should be more diverse and inclusive. I took part in a very practical training on diversity and unconscious bias. Jana has a talent for making a session interactive with interesting tools and exercises. She has a real passion for diversity. She made me think about biases and she gave us concrete tips what and how to bring it further to our professional and personal life. (2018)

I met Jana during the mentoring program Equilibrium by the British Chamber of Commerce. Jana is very professional in her work, she also appealed to me with very human and kind approach. She always makes her best to boost my ability to find the best possible solution. Her coaching style helped me to develop my mental processes in many ways. Jana is a very positive, empathetic and inspiring woman who cares about her client getting the best possible results. I always felt absolutely relaxed, safe and encouraged to do the best for myself. I feel privileged to be her mentee. (2018)
