**MPORTANT! Please register on [Luma page](https://luma.com/qmxm93hj)**​ Are you a strong designer with a solid portfolio, but still feel like your true impact remains invisible? We often believe that simply creating good mockups is enough. But the reality is: design almost never creates results in isolation, and the market pays for business impact, not just execution. ​**🎤 [Vova Safonov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vova-safonov/) — From a Reactive Designer to a Proactive Leader** We will break down the illusion of "I complete tasks = I work well" and discuss why strong designers often lose in the market. You will learn how to: * ​Stop waiting for tasks and start taking responsibility for solutions. * ​Understand business expectations (impact on revenue, conversion, retention). * ​Develop an entrepreneurial mindset inside the company. ​**🎤 [Ivan Rohovchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrogovchenko/) — 1+1=3: How a Designer Creates Real Impact.** The greatest value is born at the intersection of functions. Ivan will share tools and real cases from his experience building design functions across 10+ companies. You will learn: * ​**The Three Levels of Influence:** How your value creation changes from IC to Design Lead to CDO. * ​**Perspective vs. Power:** Why designers often lose influence by proposing solutions to problems nobody has acknowledged yet. * ​**Practice:** Concrete tools for effective cross-functional collaboration, including stakeholder mapping. ​Huge thanks to **[Nagarro](https://www.nagarro.com/en/?utm_source=luma)** for hosting us, providing the space, and supporting the local design and tech community! Let’s gather to exchange experiences, build cross-functional strategies, and network with like-minded professionals!

We will discuss two very short stories: Ursula Le Guin's ["The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"](https://files.libcom.org/files/ursula-k-le-guin-the-ones-who-walk-away-from-omelas.pdf) and Franz Kafka's ["Before the Law"](https://www.kafka-online.info/before-the-law.html) which together make up about 7 pages of reading. The first is often interpreted as an exploration of utilitarianism, which we can use to explore ideas of morality together as we examine Le Guin's memorable description of an apparently perfect society with one major flaw. The second is Kafka's short and strange parable about a man who wants access to the law; it is a work which explores ideas of power and authority. We will meet at L'Objet Trouvé near the Veletržní Palác. I look forward to seeing you there!

And as always, the room will be full of founders and entrepreneurs who are in the same boat and worth talking to.s.

No awkward language exchange vibes, No repeating the same topics. **It’s guided by a Czech instructor, relaxed, and practical — all for the price of a coffee ☕️** Why this works 1\. You actively speak\. 2\. Real people\, real reactions\. 3\. Structured\, guided\, efficient 4\. Everyone here gets it\. 5\. A whole month for the price of one lesson\. 💰 60 minutes per session · once a week. Persistence is key! 💰 The first session is **150 CZK**, and then **700 CZK / month** 👩‍🏫 A professional native instructor guides the sessions. 📍 Location: Won Academy - [Křenova 438/1](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RF4sU9LHPCuS8RYk6) (right at the tram/metro station, Petriny) 🔄 After trying a level, it’s possible to switch to a different one if needed. more info: wonacademy.cz/speaking-cz
