Being Václavnomad

Distance: an advantage or a tax?

Work with me, on the road

The main site is about leading a company or a team. This is the third thing: leading yourself, often from somewhere else. I ran a software company’s move to remote work through the pandemic, I hold a product role in a small remote team today, and I have lived the nomad life solo across 30+ countries. Whichever side you’re on, distance can be an advantage instead of a tax.

  1. For nomads and solo founders

    I lead myself

    Whatever you’re wrestling with on the road, chances are I’ve hit it too. One conversation about the exact thing you’re stuck on, practically, not preachily.

    • Direction: what you actually want, and what is in the way.
    • Protecting your focus and your flow while everything around you moves.
    • My contacts, hubs and maps, handed over.
    • Honest talk about the lows, not just the rooftop-pool highlight reel.

  2. For remote and distributed teams

    One culture across screens

    Managing people across time zones is its own discipline. I have been in the rooms and on the late calls, and I can help you turn friction into flow.

    • Time-zone friction without burning anyone out.
    • Keeping one culture alive across offices, languages and screens.
    • Communication rituals and handoffs that survive the distance.
    • Onboarding someone you will never sit next to.

  3. For programmes, festivals and communities

    A session, a talk, an evening

    I have been selected, I have volunteered and I have coached. A leadership session for your participants, a pitch and storytelling workshop for local business owners, or the evening programme hosted from the welcome to the last act.

    • Leadership and personal-growth sessions, as in Nagasaki.
    • Pitch and storytelling for professionals presenting in English, as in the Pitch Bootcamp for Colive Fukuoka.
    • Hosting and unconference sessions, as at Bansko Nomad Fest.
    • Skill-share is how this world works, and I am glad to: a stay, a ticket, or a day rate.

One conversation, one problem, and somewhere to think it through out loud.
