Inspiring session for teams
Selected workshops and coursesA one-of-a-kind inspiring session and workshop: in a playful, gentle way, participants look at the world, their work, and themselves from a new angle, and come away with a wider perspective and firmer footing.
This session brings together unusual photographs of our world, innovative principles of collaboration from leading tech companies, and experience in finding opportunities in life and at work.
What ties the three-to-five-hour session together is the ability to see things differently: in the world, at work, in yourself. In today’s turbulent times, this ability is enormously useful: it helps people approach the world more creatively, makes them more likely to see opportunity in change, and lets them find support more easily in themselves and in those around them.
The program is ideal for teams looking for a shared development experience, for managers who want a new perspective and concrete techniques, and for employees who want to recharge and come back eager to try things differently.
This combination is possible only thanks to Daniel Franc’s strong, authentic story: an internationally award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in National Geographic, among others; a former global manager at Google; and someone who has guided people in their development for many years.
We explore three different perspectives in three connected parts. We always fine-tune their focus and length together with you, to fit your needs.
1//
Discovering unexpected details and connections through drone photography. A playful exercise in which participants look for new meanings in chaos, and examples from Daniel Franc’s own photography that show how to broaden your view of the world.
2//
Examples and principles from companies that work in unusual yet effective ways: practical insights from Google translated into the language of an ordinary team, which help participants find fresh ideas for collaboration themselves. (For management, we can add specific techniques and tools.)
3//
A safe setting to discover what fulfills you, where your strengths lie, and what feels meaningful to you, and to find in it support and solid ground amid all the change.
I have 25 years of experience leading projects in education, IT, and community building. I helped start one of the largest community initiatives for developers in the world (Google Developer Groups) and later led other global programs at Google, where I worked for 13 years, six of them as a Global Program Manager. As a longtime consultant, trainer, and mentor, I help companies and nonprofits connect people and communities; for part of my time, I currently also work as an external consultant at Česká spořitelna. Today I also draw on my experience with technology adoption when introducing AI in companies.
Alongside this, I’m a drone photographer whose work has won Czech and international awards, including repeated honors at Czech Nature Photo. I’ve had two solo exhibitions and a number of group shows, and my photographs have appeared in various media, including National Geographic.
