Přednášející: Mgr. Klára Vyšatová (CV: http://bit.ly/19VzN7r)

“Během své psychologické praxe jsem pracovala s různými typy lidí a mou zkušeností je, že každý z nás velice dobře ví, co nechce, ale jen málokdo dokáže vyjádřit to, co by opravdu chtěl, co by si opravdu přál. To, že naše cíle a přání dokážeme zformulovat a vyjádřit, je prvním krokem na cestě k jejich dosažení. Koučování je pro mě procesem, který by měl koučovaného nejen rozvinout, pomoci mu najít životní rovnováhu a učinit ho spokojenějším, ale zároveň ho doprovázet na cestě zakončené schopností být sám sobě úspěšným koučem”.

Těšíme se na vaši účast, přijďte si uklidnit ducha a pobavit se s Cemsáky o užitečných tématech. Připravíme také drobné občerstvení.

Start of September in Cems Alumni Association, Prague

CAA Prague has kicked off September with two nice events - one social and one sporty. We will continue offering interesting activities for CEMS Alumni community in Prague this and next year. Stay tuned and follow the usual communication channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, your email inbox and last but not least this blog).

CEMS Alumni Rentreé Dinner at Restaurant Giardino in Prague.

CEMS Alumni Soirée 20.6. ReCap

Dear CEMSies, CEMS Alumni Soirée was a really nice gesture from our home university VŠE and the CEMS VŠE team has already posted some nice pictures and summary of the event on the academic web.

http://cemsmim.vse.cz/cems-alumni-soiree/

We hope, that similar official get-togethers of Alumni in Prague will get repeated during next years, so that we occasionally celebrate the success of all VŠE Graduated CEMsies, together with the increasing number of us. We are now 337 graduated CEMS Alumni @VŠE between years 1997 and 2012.
During the CEMS Alumni Soirée evening, it was certainly interesting to hear about beginnings of CEMS at the University of Economics, Prague. Plus a lot of us got to meet quite a few people whom we had not met before or had not seen for a long time.

Our new 2013 team of CEMS Alumni Association Prague has presented a lookout into events being prepared for the next few months. You can download or view the slides here.

Looking forward to keep in touch with all of you and see you on next events of CAA. Meanwhile, enjoy summer and stay in a good mood!

Moreover, you will have a unique chance to meet all CEMS Alumni Club board members who will personnally present a very challenging and exciting event plan for the upcoming year. We simply believe that it´s worth being CEMS Alumni and adhering to the Club and we want you to share the same opinion.

Saying goodbye

Dear all
I have already announced the results of the elections.

 

I would like to share with you the last e-mail I sent to all alumni in the president position:

 

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all board members and people who cooperated with us:

• board members: Olga Nydlova, Valerie Schaferova, Katerina Chodounska, Pavlina Simurdova and Richard Bejlek
• people who supported us by organising various events, bringing some creative ideas and also taking part in the board activities: Vasek Duda, Honza Kubik, Judita Bihellerova, Lucie Zadrazilova, and Klara Miksickova (I hope I haven't missed anyone)
• and also all people who participated at the events - both speakers and audience

 

I would like to give special thanks to

• Richard Bejlek who was a treasurer since the foundation of CEMS Alumni in Prague and was the one who kept the knowledge from previous terms and passed it to the new boards including ours
• also, my big thanks go to Olga Nydlova who, as my vice-presidnet, did a great job both in supporting me in "operational" management as well as organising some of the greatest and most successful events like Networking Dinner or Coaching Seminar.

Last but not least, my thanks go also to David Kolesa and the whole CEMS Club team as well as the representatives of the university Jiri Hnilica, Gabina Bohmova and Martina Fischerova for great cooperation and support.

 

THANK YOU ALL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - YOUR COOPERATION MADE THIS YEAR FOR ME EVEN BETTER!

 

I feel honoured to be allowed to do this job. I believe we have moved to a new level especially by organising some quality events which required intensive preparation: Networking Dinner, Networking Seminar, Wine Tasting, Travellers Brunch, Student Profile Roundtable or Meet the Luxury.

 

There were also some other parts of our work which are less visible yet still pretty important: establishing a new shared drive accessible to the new boards with all relevant knowledge, promoting experience with our events among other local committees or obtaining the membership fees from the previous years.

 

If you have ever the chance to participate in the alumni activities do not hesitate - and use the opportunity as much as possible.

 

I will pass my duties to the new president officially on 1 May. After that I will remain in the CEMS alumni world, however I will be the one who rather enjoys the benefits :-). I am looking forward to meeting you at one of the events organised by the new board or at any other cems related opportunity.

 

Best regards

 

Vojtech Oplestil"

Election results

As you know the election of the new board of CEMS Alumni Prague took place during the Gala Night. It is my pleasure to announce the results.

All candidates were elected so the board will be quite broad - the more activities and results we can expect.

• Jan Plajner President
• Lucie Zadražilová Vice-President
• Olga Nýdlová Regular BM
• Judita Bihellerová Regular BM
• Tomáš Mucha Regular BM
• Karolína Štochlová Regular BM

• Katarína Paulíčková Regular BM
• Jan Horáček Treasurer

Honza Plajner will take the chance and introduce his board as well as their plans soon.

Congratulations and good luck in your term!

Vojtech

And the candidates are...

Originally, I was a little bit afraid of not having enough candidates for the new board of CEMS Alumni Association Prague. Fortunately, the result is different.

8 alumni have taken the challenge and run for all positions:

• Jan Plajner (class of 2011) - for the President position
• Lucie Zadrazilova (2012) - Vicepresident
• Olga Nydlova (2010), Judita Bihellerova (2010), Tomas Mucha (2012), Karolina Stochlova (2012), Petra Pistkova (2010), update: Katarina Paulickova (2010) - Regular Board Members
• Jan Horacek (2011) - Treasurer

Two candidates - Lucie and Olga - are members of the current board so there will be a good knowledge transfer combined with the new "fresh blood".

How can you vote? There are two options

1. At the galla night organised by students and taking place 13 April or "on-line".
2. Or just send an email to Marie Biancon, our former president, list the candidates and indicate whether you are in favour, against or abstain. Please send your votes by Th 11 Apr 6 PM.

I am looking forward to your voting!

Regards

Vojtech

What will be the future CEMS graduates like

I believe one of the roles of alumni is to bring CEMS stakeholders together and let them discuss openly their concerns and ideas.

Therefore, a month ago together with VŠE we organised a roundtable aimed at the following questions.

All relevant stakeholders were present:

• corporate partners (ŠKODA AUTO, HILTI)
• VŠE representatives (programme management + teachers)
• Students
• and us, alumni

Together, 16 people + one child with various backrounds, professional as well life experience and lots of motivation to share their views.

Together we created the following SWOT

What I personally found interesting was the shift from promotion of the programme (which was one of the key issues of the first roundtable in November 2011) towards the academic aspects of the programme. It seems like the core - curriculum and learning outputs - is coming to the fore of attention.

Analysis is just the first part. We moved on and created a list of tasks for all stakeholders.

It will be a responsibility of all the stakeholders to accept their tasks and support CEMS. Alumni will definitely play an active role!

Vojtech

P.S. If you want to see the full presentation please just send me an e-mail.

Becoming a member of CEMS Alumni Association Prague

Hi,

This time I am not posting an invitation to the event organized by CEMS Alumni Association Prague, CEMS Club or someone from alumni, nor offering you the opportunity to lecture at the University of Economics :-).

Beginning of the year is the best moment for registration and payment of membership fees of CEMS Alumni Association.

What are the benefits membership brings has been already written. To recap - it's e.g. discounts on events in the Czech Republic, access to various databases including EBSCO, for some of you the greatest benefit can be the possibility to participate on annual events.

We think, however, that the main reasons for membership in the association are different. It is mainly an expression of belonging to a growing number of students and graduates of all CEMS and what environment CEMS means. Opportunity to study at good schools meet during their studies and after with smart people who have different interests and motivation to do something extra. It also means supporting alumni activities not only on global, but especially on the Czech level.

What do you think? Does it make sense to you? If so, I encourage you to pay yearly (€ 60) or lifetime fee (600 EUR) or its variants for couples. You may pay via cems.org or by using our Czech account (more here).

Together with this and previous boards of CEMS Alumni Association Prague we devoted quite lots of energy to alumni activities, so we would be happy if the number of Czech alumni once again slightly increases and moves the Czech Republic to the front of the peloton.

Best regards

Vojta & Olga, Katka, Lucka, Klara, Richard

As this is the best moment for paying your membership fee for 2013 here is a simple guideline on how you can do that. There are two options.

1. Paying on cems.org with your credit card. Go to www.cems.org, log in at the top. After logging in click on Alumni Zone in the left menu and select Online Payment. Then press on Pay your annual fee. So, finally you are the right place to pay your membership. Now just follow the steps - and don't forget to correctly select LC Czech Republic.

Feedback and pictures from Coaching seminar

CEMS Alumni Association Prague team successfuly organized another educational and networking event: Seminar introducing Coaching and Counseling, on Tue Jan 15, 2013 at VŠE. Below, you can see some more info and pictures taken during interactive lecture and workshop provided by two professionals - Dominika Kratochvílová (freelance counselor, www.counseling.cz) and Joel H. Cooper (business trainer and coach, senior partner at www.learn2grow.cz).

Participants feedback: 1.4 on scale between 1-5 (1-best, 5-worst)

Assessment of speakers:

Dominika - 1.8 on scale between 1-5 (1-best, 5-worst)

Joel - 1 on scale between 1-5 (1-best, 5-worst)

Main thoughts gathered from participants:

• "Coaching is for people who know what they want to achieve but don't know how, whereas counseling is for people who don't know what they want or what to do."
• "During the seminar, I realised that there can be important differencies between coaching,mentoring and counselling and that the attitude of the specialist (coach/mentor) must be based on the client´s needs - if the client comes alone and seeks help or it´s a director who wants to influence his colleagues/team members - and therefore can be really various."
• "Speakers were really well chosen. Location was great. Maybe some more tips on self-coaching would be helpful." Comment from CAA Prague: We are planning special seminar on self-coaching in Czech later this year.
• Inspiration for future: "seminar on leading a team, managing project (alone versus with a team of colleagues)".

See you on next CEMS Alumni professional events in 2013, your team of CEMS Alumni Association, Prague.

CEMS alumni members in Prague - numbers and value

Ever wondered how many alumni are there in Prague?

So far, more than 300 cemsies from VSE graduated in CEMS MIM. Even though tens of alumni have participated in various professional, fun and sport events the average number of CAA members (i.e. the paying members) is just above 17, if calculated from 2007 it is 22.

As we are developing especially new professional activities and increasing the quality of our events we are looking forward to reaching much higher numbers of alumni this year.

To give you an overview of how successful we are in the international context just check the chart below. As you can see last year the Czech Republic was in the middle of the field dominated by Switzerland and especially Germany.

The beginning of the year is the best time to become a member and be a true member of the alumni "family". Even though there is a number of benefits the membership offers, the main benefit is something that is usually not on the list: being a member of a community of open- and internationally-minded persons with similar background yet different personalities, hobbies and careers who can share their experience and enrich you both profesionally and personally. Also, with your membership you help promoting the CEMS MIM degree and thus expand the cems family.



In the following weeks we will update you on the benefits, the planned events of CAA Prague and the way you can contribute. I am looking forward to welcoming you personally at our events and in the CEMS Alumni community!
Vojtech
