Our Team

Daniel Fuksa

Executive Director

I am a professional with more than twenty-five years of experience in corporate environments, where I have had the opportunity to lead teams, support people’s development, and help organisations navigate change.
Part of my personal story was shaped by military service and participation in a voluntary military exercise. These experiences strengthened in me the values of responsibility and service to others, courage, and belief in great things.
I know that true leadership is built on respect, trust, the ability to listen, and creating an environment where people can grow and fully realise their potential.
Belonging is, for me, an essential part of modern corporate culture. Teams achieve their best results when their members feel that they are in the right place both personally and professionally, and when they genuinely feel that they belong. Creating a culture of belonging and respect is one of the most important parts of my work and my personal mission.

Olga Vlachynská

Facilitator and Trainer

I’m a psychologist and therapist. I started out as an in-house psychologist at the company Lidi z Baru, and since 2020 I’ve been running my own private therapy practice. I work with individuals and groups, focusing on mental well-being not only in therapy but also within organizations.
I enjoy connecting mental health with everyday life – I give talks, host the podcast Psachobitches, stir things up on social media, and try to open up topics that often get overlooked. I value humor, authenticity, and conversations that shake things up a bit.
My heart beats for neurodiversity – the richness of different minds and ways of perceiving the world. I studied psychology and social anthropology in the Czech Republic and earned my master’s degree in psychology in Spain.
