The Challenge is Real – And So is the Opportunity. By 2030, workers aged 50 and over will constitute nearly 30% of the Czech workforce. However, many employers are unprepared for this significant demographic shift. Forward-thinking organizations are recognizing that age-inclusive practices are not merely ethical considerations; they are strategic imperatives that foster innovation, reduce turnover costs and improve productivity.
In this workshop, we will explore practical approaches to Age Management. You will:

• Get inspired by best Age Management practices of other employers
• Leave with a clear roadmap to address this complex challenge through simple, incremental steps.
• Gain practical tips and tools that can be implemented immediately, with minimal or no budget

In this workshop, we will go deeper into the life of a Lama, discovering how Buddhist traditions shape everyday choices, values, and ways of seeing the world. By exploring these experiences, we will draw parallels with the European worldview and reflect on what they can teach us in our personal lives. The session will also provide practical tips for those wishing to explore Nepal, including what to be aware of culturally and spiritually to make the journey both respectful and enriching.

Strong emotions like uncertainty and fear naturally arise in difficult times - in us, in our teams, in people with different opinions and agendas too. Come and get inspired on how to address difficult emotions within us, how to find calm and grounding in difficult conversations, how to proactively build personal resilience, and prevent burnout. We will offer and try simple evidence-based practices together, which are based on mindfulness and positive psychology. We will also discuss concrete situations from the workplace and how to respond to them with calmness and courage.

We will explore the growing pushback on DEI across the globe—why this has happened, the forces driving it, and the real impact it has had on organisations, including Cultural Infusion. This segment will be highly interactive, inviting participants into dialogue and concluding with a Q&A.
We will build on the principles of the Cultural Infusion Atlas methodology. Through case studies and examples, participants will explore why granular diversity data matters, how flattening identity can fuel conflict, and why measurability is the missing link in unlocking humanity’s greatest asset: our cultural diversity. Participants will then break into smaller groups to apply these principles, generating their own innovative ideas and solutions.
Key Takeaways: A recognition that identity is layered and multifaceted; First-hand experience of a clear, multifactorial definition for cultural diversity; Awareness of the risks of oversimplification and the power of measurability; Inspiration on how diversity data can spark innovation and support intercultural understanding.

The interactive workshop is designed for individuals who need to effectively communicate about the value of inclusive behaviors, emotional intelligence and support for historically marginalized groups with people who might not understand the business or personal benefits of an inclusive culture. This workshop can help you develop methods we use to communicate any cultural change. It centers on providing practical strategies and tools to navigate challenging conversations and situations with every level of hierarchy, from the CEO to front-line workers.
The aim is to empower participants to effectively advocate for inclusion by helping them to understand and address resistance, and to ultimately build support and allyship.
The workshop provides actionable advice and a chance to practice how to communicate inclusion effectively to diverse audiences.

In today’s evolving workplace, multigenerational collaboration is both a challenge and a strategic advantage when done well. Yet generational dynamics, particularly around Gen Z, are often misunderstood, leading to missed opportunities for innovation and cohesion. This session will focus on how culturally intelligent, compassionate leadership can unlock performance and engagement across all generations.
Key session elements include: Reframing assumptions about Gen Z and harnessing their unique strengths; Developing collaborative leadership styles that transcend generational barriers, build trust, and create psychological safety; Case examples of organizations driving results through generational inclusivity; Practical tips and strategies from the Inclusive Leadership Handbook that can be put into practice right away.

In this workshop, we will use bricks and modeling to explore answers to the following questions: What do uncertain times, courage, commitment, and consistency mean to you and what form do they take in the context of DEI today? How can they be functionally linked to advance DEI issues?
What can and do you want to do about it personally?
