Tomáš Pešek

About:

I love working with people, to help to develop their potential. In different ways. By non-formal education, experiential outdoor education and coaching. In creative and enjoyable ways.
Three values very much connected to my work are human approach, professionalism and meaning.
And I love learn new things and enjoy things I do!

Tomáš Pešek has 3 references for past work as a trainer and added 5 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
