If I had not had such positive references about your education and training company, Change Partnership, dear Ms Bacharova, I would have been a bit afraid of what would happen after organizing the development programs for my colleagues and delivered by you. Our joint effort has brought even more successful results and, what is more, with a much more entertaining approach than ever expected. And, we are still not so “educated” as to give up the possibility of further cooperation with you.

As part of our long term strategy, we decided to develop the individual corporate leadership skills of our “fast track” international executives by establishing the ´YSoft Leadership Academy´ (run in English).  After a tender process with other leading institutions, Change Partnership was selected as the Academy partner. The way how they set up the program and chose native speaking lecturers from around the world was the most appealing to our needs and vision.

The whole Academy process took almost two years and had been highly evaluated by all participants, Academy ambassadors as well as other colleagues who witnessed the progress of participants. As a result of what they learned during the whole programme, the participants implemented a number of changes both in themselves as leaders and in the YSoft business processes and practices. Mostly appreciated and beneficial were their skills in leadership, negotiation, consultative sales and intercultural management.

Ysoft is now considering extending the Academy to other colleagues.

We thank Change Partnership for being our successful Y Soft Leadership Academy partner.

After Change Partnership successfully delivered a coaching project in SCA, we asked Hana Bacharova to suggest and implement a new project focused on the SCA marketing team development. The main goal was to increase the autonomy and initiative of my subordinates.

These goals were gradually fulfilled thanks to the right combination of interactive workshops and individual and team coaching. We jointly evaluated and analyzed each development activity to prepare subsequent activities reflecting our current needs and in line with the overall company development as well as departmental changes and challenges.

I am pleased to recommend Change Partnership for the implementation of customized development programs which can solve issues faced by individual teams and/or the whole company.

In December we asked several potential suppliers to perform the final Analysis of our internal project under specific conditions and Change Partnership showed high professionalism, reliability and efficiency.

I wish to highlight three areas of our cooperation:

  • Promptness – within short time they were able to recommend the appropriate consultant and confirm the schedule.
  • In time – they delivered the project within relatively short time and moreover during the most ´difficult´ time for a business – December holidays.
  • Good quality – despite the short time, the Analysis was delivered in requested quality and the whole project was approved by the Board.

Thanks to the good cooperation our Group hired Change Partnership repeatedly.

Our cooperation with Change Partnership, in particular with Ms Hana Bacharova has been lasting for almost seven years. We approach her with almost all the management training requests for our employees. Ms Bacharova always provides us with sound professional advice and recommends suitable lecturers or the training programme type precisely according to our requests. As samples of such cooperation we can mention the following programmes: Specialized workshop for managers focused on company values and strategic company goals; Team coaching for the top managers; Team cooperation for middle managers; Coaching for all executive managers as well as Professional trainings for sales department and telesales.
We consider Fairway s.r.o. to be very flexible and possessing wide portfolio of relationships with quality lecturers and coaches in the whole of the Czech Republic which is highly valuable for our company with branches in Czech and Moravia.

We searched for the supplier of custom-made programmes aimed at Change management to be designed for gas distribution companies’ managers in the Czech Republic. To our surprise majority of training companies offered only static programmes, which has not corresponded to our focus and dynamic requirements. Contrary to this approach, Ms Bacharova together with recommended lecturers prepared with us and RWE Group Academy a training programme corresponding with our core competencies, strategic goals, company culture and in addition covered requirements to enhance better mutual knowledge and cooperation of participants. Already the pilot project was evaluated by participants above our expectations and similarly were positively evaluated consequent runs of the project.

We got acquainted with Ms Bacharova while selecting the supplier of the comprehensive management development programme for our growing companies. During the execution of the whole programme Ms Bacharova worked very closely with us and adjusted follow-up training modules based on the previous feedback and evaluations by the trainees and management in order to fully meet training needs of the participants as well as company’s requirements. We have found her experience and knowledge of business environment crucial for successful supervision of the whole long-term management development programme. Based on our experience we would be glad to recommend Ms Bacharova to companies which do not look only for ‘off-the-shelf’ management training programme supplier but rather for the management education partner who will guarantee that the programmes will highly correspond and instantly react to company needs.
