━━ THEY TRUST US

Without our clients, we could not do such meaningful work. We are grateful for their trust.

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to take part in the year-long programme you delivered for us. It enriched me in areas that don't come naturally to me and contributed to my self-knowledge. Zuzka, I want to thank you personally for the warmth and humanity you bring to everything. Our conversations were always valuable. In most soft skills – communication, professional presence, empathy – skills that are useful far beyond consulting – you are an inspiration to me. It's remarkable how you manage to inspire people. Thank you.

František Kalibán

Credit Risk Manager, Česká spořitelna

I had the privilege of working with Silene on a recent company culture transformation project and subsequently on a management coaching programme. Zuzana impressed me with her ability to listen actively and quickly understand our needs. I was struck by her skill in explaining complex concepts of change in a way that was clear and relatable – resonating with everyone across the organisation. Zuzana's managerial expertise was key to the positive changes in our group and I warmly recommend her to anyone looking for a consultant who can effectively navigate a period of change and strengthen employee engagement.

Adam Lebeda

Digital Tribe Lead, T-Mobile Czech Republic

We commissioned management skills training for several diverse groups at Keboola, where company culture reveals its unique characteristics at every turn and in every interaction with people. For Silene, this meant completely rebuilding the planned content after day one, a great deal of improvisation and adapting to the client's wishes and needs – literally within minutes. Their high level of professionalism, years of experience and personal commitment enabled them to respond immediately and deliver the training in a way that allowed every participant to take away something that was truly theirs.

Vendula Burdová

VP HR, Keboola

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity I had and find it difficult to put this wonderful experience into words. If I had to summarise, I would highlight two things above all: the highly valuable, condensed content delivered with grace, empathy and deep personal experience, and the ability to fit everything into the minimal time available while still bringing out what truly matters. I am so glad you exist – thank you.

Jiří Steuer

Enterprise Architect, Homecredit International / Embed-IT

Thank you Zuzka and Tomáš for your time! I already wrote it in the feedback form, but I wanted to say it more loudly – I wouldn't have swapped our group for anything, and I wouldn't have wanted any other group like ours. You are absolute stars and I have huge respect for what you delivered. Thank you so much!

Petr Šimeček

Founder and Director of Product Management, Keboola

I am very grateful that we are able to keep working with Silene. Zuzka's communication is always careful, open and transparent – something I value greatly. We chose Silene as our partner for the long-term development of our managers and I can only recommend them.

Petra Kratochvílová

HR Manager, Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences

I have worked with Zuzana on several projects at our company – including a Diversity and Inclusion initiative, a project focused on increasing employee engagement, growth mindset and wellbeing. Her advisory work included not only deepening the managerial knowledge of myself and my colleagues in leadership, but also employee surveys and in-depth interviews across the organisation. Throughout these activities Zuzana proved herself not only as an experienced professional offering a wide range of support services, but also as an empathetic, warm and mature person.

━━ OUR SYMBOL

Silene („Silenka“)

It grows everywhere. On rock, in peatland, by the roadside. Its root system nourishes everything around it. Every morning it opens its flowers to the sun, every evening it rests. Resilient, healing, adaptable. That is exactly what we aspire to be.
