Coaching Love

We discuss growth, focus, strategy, leadership, and organizational setup. Talking to someone who has such great hands-on experience is awesome and helps me tremendously in growing my company.

Petr is an experienced, result-oriented manager with a great global perspective. A broad strategic thinker who combines entrepreneurial drive and thinking with excellent people skills. I would recommend Petr strongly in any complex and challenging global context.

I highly recommend Petr as a mentor who has had a profound impact on our business. His guidance helped us identify bottlenecks and encouraged us to think differently (how hard this was!). Significant positive changes both in the team and the business. Many thanks Petr!

Petr has been a role model for bringing an entrepreneurial mindset into the corporation and having leaders think differently about how to solve business problems. A natural collaborator, Petr fostered great relationships internally and externally to drive tangible outcomes.

Petr is goal and customer oriented project/program manager who delivered one of the best managed projects our company had within IT/IS area on international field. He is able to effectively manage geographically dispersed teams and clients towards target dates and budgets while keeping in mind the big picture and pro-customer orientation. I would assign part of Petr´s success to his ability to form highly effective teams.

I had the great pleasure of cooperating with Petr for almost two years, as he was participating as a mentor in our non-profit project DoToho! He truly made an impact on how participating founders run their businesses and helped them bring great new ideas and innovative business models to life. Even with his busy schedule, he always managed to find time to spend with his mentees working on the next steps of their international growth.

Petr always acted as a leader with a strong product and business vision to transform the team as well as the product to be ready for global growth. I appreciated open communication across the team about all transformation steps being taken and regular personal feedback on my work and results. Petr’s ability to attract diverse and unique talent has helped us grow our brand recognition as well as quality of the product much fast than originally planned.

Petr significantly helped me and my team while we were bringing a new product to market. We focused on aspects such as shaping the product, effectively communicating it to the right audience, and presenting it. During our mentoring sessions, Petr provided us with great insights, shared his valuable experience, offered constructive feedback, and helped us perceive things from a different perspective. Petr, thank you for your patience, calmness, and expertise. I really enjoyed it!

I highly appreciate Petr´s work in his position of Product Manager for the full IT/IS product family of E.ON Group. He developed (together with the team of 25 Product Leaders) a new product family in E.ON IS which was then successfully offered, sold, and implemented across E.ON Group. What I can stress is Petr´s communication and people management skills. Also his ability to cover all areas of the product lifecycle: starting with business plan preparation, project design, and presale support, up to very close cooperation and support to project managers and consultants responsible for product implementation was exemplary.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Petr Palan during mentoring sessions, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional mentor and an invaluable asset to any individual or startup seeking guidance. Petr possesses a unique combination of insightful questioning, and impeccable guidance. He excels in fostering meaningful conversations that encourage deep thinking about one's product or project. His well-aimed questions have a remarkable ability to provoke innovative ideas and solutions, making each session a truly enriching experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Petr Palan as a mentor and encourage anyone seeking valuable guidance and mentorship to take advantage of his expertise. His thoughtful and strategic approach will undoubtedly lead to growth, innovation, and success.

Hey founders, TL;DR: We brought Petr on as a mentor for 3 months as we prepared to launch our service-turned-product at TechCrunch 2022. His guidance kept us focused on crucial points we needed to nail amid endless debates and distractions. I'd recommend Petr to any founder transforming a service into a product - his experience launching new products brings focus, calm, and confidence when doubts creep in. THE LONG STORY: We set out to turn our unique, but hard to repeat, service of hiring and building technical teams, including setting up and operating local subsidiary for scale-ups and corporations into an off-the-shelf product. We've done this type of service a few times already and knew the ropes, but it was hard to explain (and to sell). In the “there’s no way back” move we planned big "product launch event” at TechCrunch 2022. Let me tell you, to transform a bundle of unique services into a repeatable product with understandable pricing is not easy. Everything seems unique and important, but different with every client. Once we brought Petr in, he met with us weekly and kept us focused through endless questions, repetitions, rewrites and redesigns. Building a repeatable product is a lot about saying “No" to many things and seeing things through your clients eyes. Thanks to his guidance, we pulled off the conference launch with a defined product, microsite, new brand "ScaleYourTechTeam.com," and even some snazzy swag to support those prime in-person pitching opportunities. With Petr's breadth of experience launching new products, he brought a calm confidence when doubts crept up. I'd recommend him to any founder transforming the business or product. His broad perspective and focus on important details is invaluable.
