Accelerate what makes us human.

We work with HR leaders in small and mid-sized companies — helping them build the culture, leadership and people practices that no tool can replace. The human stuff. The stuff that matters.

What we do

Eight ways we help HR teams make a real difference.

Pick one, pick a few, or let's design a programme together. Each engagement is shaped around what your people actually need — not a deck we pull off the shelf.

Company Culture
Build a culture where people do their best work — and want to stay.
Leadership Development
Equip leaders at every level with the mindset and skills to bring out the best in their teams.
Team Building via MBTI
Use MBTI to build self-awareness and mutual understanding — the foundation of great teamwork.
Communication Training
Help people speak clearly, listen fully, and have the conversations that move things forward.
Individual Coaching
One-to-one coaching for people at inflection points — new roles, new challenges, or simply ready to grow.
Learning & Upskilling
Build learning strategies connected to real business outcomes — not just programmes that get ticked off.
AI Adoption Coaching
Help your people use AI with confidence and judgment — without losing what makes them irreplaceable.
UX Problem Solving
Apply design thinking to people challenges — simple, elegant solutions that get used.
Propaideia
/prɒpaɪˈdiːə/
Ancient Greek — preparation toward flourishing.
Why we exist

The more AI advances, the more human excellence matters.

Propaideia — from the ancient Greek — was the path of preparation that leads a person toward full flourishing. The knowledge, practice, and guidance that opens the door to human excellence. That's still what good HR does. We just use better tools now.
How we work

A way of working that respects your time and your team.

01
Listen, properly
We start with an honest conversation. What's working, what isn't, and what you've already tried. No diagnostic deck, no jargon — just the real picture.
02
Shape the work together
We design an engagement around your context, your team and your budget. Workshops, coaching, programme design — whatever fits. You always know what's next.
03
Land it with people
Strategy on a slide is easy. Change in a team is hard. We stay close to the work — facilitating, coaching and adjusting as we go — so it actually lands.
04
Hand it over
Our job is to leave you stronger, not dependent. We document, train and equip your HR team to keep building once we're gone.
Who we are

The people behind Propaideia.

NB
Nada Borkova Gallova
Co-founder · Coach · Strategist

Nada has spent her career working at the intersection of HR, coaching, and organisational development — mainly in IT and financial services. She's an experienced consultant and trainer with an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh, and a reputation for telling HR teams what they actually need to hear rather than what they want to. She started Propaideia because she'd seen too many good HR people stuck in organisations that didn't give them the tools or support to do their job well.

JZ
Julie Zlateva
Co-founder · Designer · Facilitator

Julie thinks like a designer — she looks at a problem and immediately wants to know if there's a simpler, better way. She came to HR not through years of practice but through genuine curiosity about people and how organisations work. She and Nada started Propaideia because they kept seeing the same fixable problems go unfixed.

AI is changing everything. We help HR teams navigate what that means for their people.

Our point of view

The next decade of HR isn't about choosing between humans and AI. It's about building teams where the humans are sharper, braver and more themselves — because the tools are doing the rest.

That's the work we want to do with you.

FAQ

Things people ask us.

Don't see your question? Just write us — we always reply.

We work with HR teams in small and mid-sized companies — HR managers, People leads, and founders who are responsible for their people strategy but don't have a large team behind them. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
We're very happy to work remotely with teams elsewhere. A call is always a good place to start.
All services are available in both Czech and English.
We're practitioners, not theorists. We've worked inside organisations — we know the gap between what looks good in a deck and what lands with people.
This is exactly the conversation we're built for. We help you get clear on what HR is for — and show you how AI can amplify your team, not replace it.

A 30-minute call costs nothing and usually leaves both sides with something useful. Worst case, you get an honest second opinion.
