The program covers corporate strategy, goal setting and prioritization, product and sales management, marketing, brand, customer experience, data, KPIs, internal knowledge, and people development.

MANIFESTO, MÉXICO CITY
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Date: September 7–8, 2026
Duration: 2 days
Type: selective floral program
Organizers: OASIS México & Róbert Bartolen
MANIFESTO Mexico City opened a new chapter in floral education focused on creator identity, a unique creative language, creativity, communication, and professional vision.
The first day was dedicated to theory, inspiration, and the individual search for one's own direction. During the second day, participants transformed their ideas into concrete floral works. Each proposal was individually consulted with Róbert Bartolen and subsequently developed throughout the entire creative process.
Process and outcomes
Each participant worked with their own idea and created an individual signature composition based on their personality, way of thinking, and creative direction. The program concluded with each participant presenting their own concept and finished work.
MANIFESTO does not aim to create copies or a uniform style. Its goal is to help shape independent creators with their own identity, vision, and direction toward the future of floristry.
FROM THE FIRST BOUQUET TO BUSINESS – Workshop for Complete Beginners, Nitra, Slovakia
Location: Nitra, Slovakia
Date: July 13, 2026
Duration: 1 day
Language of instruction: SK
Type: floristry workshop for complete beginners
Focus: basic bouquet-making techniques, correct bouquet handling, stem direction, material layering, working with texture, flower conditioning, volume, proportions, rhythm, and simple wrapping.
Main outcomes: a small bouquet for a mother and a congratulatory bouquet for a milestone birthday.
Included in the workshop: all floral materials, working tools and supplies, professional guidance by Róbert Bartolen, educational materials, coffee break, lunch, certificate of completion, working equipment, and workshop merchandise.
KVETY TERKA — Personnel and Sales Coaching
Location: Šaľa, Slovakia
Date: May – August 2026
Client: Kvetinárstvo Terka
Type: personnel and sales coaching
The personnel coaching at Kvetinárstvo Terka focused on preparing the team ahead of one of the strongest seasons of the year — Mother's Day. It was not only about floral design, but also about the practical setup of sales, the visual presentation of the offer, and working with products directly in the store.
Róbert Bartolen and his team introduced a new perspective on bouquets, arrangements, and floral boxes. The coaching focused on technique, color, composition, and quick adjustments that could be applied immediately to the store's real product offer.
The goal was for the investment in professional guidance to pay back within several months. According to the store's internal evaluation, the effect came much sooner — approximately after just one and a half months. The strongest result was seen during Mother's Day, when the flower shop recorded higher turnover than in the previous year.
The coaching therefore brought not only a new perspective on floral design, but also concrete changes in the team's work, the product offer, and its commercial approach.

Personnel Coaching, 2021–2024, Kvetinárstvo Silencia (now Květinárstvo Michell), Martin, Slovakia
Between 2021 and 2024, long-term personnel and strategic mentoring took place at Květinárstvo Silencia in Martin, led by Róbert Bartolen. This collaboration significantly shaped the visual and conceptual identity of the flower shop and extended beyond floral coaching to include business consultancy.
In addition to developing product collections, window displays, and seasonal installations, the cooperation involved forming the store's commercial philosophy and operational know-how – including pricing strategies, sales techniques, assortment management, and professional customer communication.
This phase also gave rise to content creation with cross-media potential – notably the video series Voňavé rozhovory ("Fragrant Conversations"), whose conceptual foundation was developed as part of this mentoring.
The cooperation concluded at the end of 2024. The subsequent rebranding of the shop to Kvetinárstvo Michell, which took place in early 2024, was no longer part of our involvement.
We simply don't show off our old stuff. If you want to see the past. We're moving forward! Want to know what we can do now? Let's create something together.
