2	3 FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: HYBRID LEADERSHIP - HOW TO MASTER THE POLARITY OF ON-PREMISE AND REMOTE WORK FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: HYBRID LEADERSHIP - HOW TO MASTER THE POLARITY OF ON-PREMISE AND REMOTE WORK 19:00 -20:30 03/11/2020 Cristina Violeta Muntean Let’s have an honest conversation about leadership. The current Corona crisis caught many managers unprepared for the complex human and organizational task ahead. The consequences are dire: in the Czech Republic almost 40% of the new Covid cases are people who got infected at work. How do we manage people and processes in the middle of a storm? How do we find a good resolution to the apparently unsurmountable dilemma: should our people work more from home or more on-premise, now and in the future? Join me for a 90-minute virtual workshop on the massive challenge that we are facing nowadays: hybrid leadership. During this workshop I will introduce you to a concept that might cast some light on your next steps: POLARITY MANAGEMENT. We will also discuss what you can do to apply this concept with your team and in your organization, so you can survive the current circumstances and thrive in the future. The workshop is FREE OF CHARGE and we will have enough room for your questions and group sharing.

FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: YOUR TOP HYBRID LEADERSHIP ENEMY: UNCONSCIOUS BIASES FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: YOUR TOP HYBRID LEADERSHIP ENEMY: UNCONSCIOUS BIASES 19:00 -20:30 10/11/2020 Cristina Violeta Muntean Have you ever thought about how your unconscious beliefs, judgements, preferences and your mental and emotional patterns impact the world around you? What if I told you that your deeply seated – and often unconscious - convictions could make or break someone’s career and life? “We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and God-like technologies,” framed the renewed Harvard biologist EO Wilson our modern day leadership dilemma. The only solution is to constantly dip under the water and to continue exploring the deeper layers of our unconscious mind. Thus we can create healthy guardrails that can help us – and those around us – to stay fair and to lead better and more successful careers, organizations and lives. How do our unconscious biases impact our ability to lead successful hybrid teams and organizations? Join me for a 90-minute virtual workshop to explore precisely this topic. During this workshop we will discuss our unconscious biases towards work location and also a plethora of other age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion and culture-related biases and I will propose solutions for you to keep your biases at bay, so you can survive under the current circumstances and thrive on the global talent market that is opening for us these days. The workshop is FREE OF CHARGE and we will have enough room for your questions and group sharing.

16	17 MOTIVATION BEYOND MONEY: HOW TO KEEP YOUR PEOPLE’S SPIRIT UP WHEN THE MONEY IS LOW MOTIVATION BEYOND MONEY: HOW TO KEEP YOUR PEOPLE’S SPIRIT UP WHEN THE MONEY IS LOW 19:00 -20:30 17/11/2020 Cristina Violeta Muntean The end of the year is near and so are people’s hopes for a handful of rewarding bonuses, an exhilarating shopping spree and some peace of mind over holidays after a harrowing mental and emotional year. But what happens when you need to go in front of your people and to tell them that there will be no financial bonuses this year? We have all suffered economically or psychologically this year. This is why people’s hopes for an end-of-the-year cathartic reward can be unusually high these days. This is also why managers who are called to communicate compensation and benefits for the rest of this year and 2021 need to thread very carefully. How can you communicate the economic reality of your organization AND keep your people motivated and engaged for the days, months and years to come? This is the topic of this 90-MINUTE FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP that we will be running together on Tuesday, November 17^th, 2020, from 19.00. The workshop is FREE OF CHARGE and we will have enough room for your questions and group sharing.

How much clarity do you have – or do you inspire in others – when you allow your communication channels to take control of your leadership? We are all flooded with an endless plethora of communication channels, more so since the beginning of the Covid pandemic this year when our work moved remotely. But is our individual, team and organizational usage of this channels always optimal? If not, what can we do as managers and leaders to untangle the knot and bring our people – and ourselves – a bit more clarity and certainties in the months and years to come? This is the topic of this 90-MINUTE FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP that will take place on Tuesday, November 24^th, 2020, from 19.00.
