All sessions by Olga →You spend weeks building rigorous analysis. Leadership thanks you and moves on. A colleague presents half the data with a strong narrative and gets a decision. That is not unfair. That is how brains and organizations work.
People do not remember information. What they remember is how this information made them feel, and telling a story is the best way to go about it. When you do not shape the story around your work, even great insight gets ignored.
And this is why louder storytellers win while quieter experts stay stuck. This session shows how senior people actually communicate, not by downloading data, but by framing what matters, what is at stake, and what should happen next.
It gives you a set of practical storytelling frameworks, the ones executives and consultants use when real decisions are on the line, so your work does not just get heard, it gets used. Because impact is not about what you know. It is about how you make people see it and relate to it.
During the expert session, Olga Labutina engages participants through a series of interactive activities and Q&A using Mentimeter, an interactive engagement tool.
1. Insight alone is not enough — framing drives decisions. Great analysis only creates impact when it is shaped into a clear narrative that highlights what matters, what is at stake, and what should happen next.
2. Storytelling influences how leaders think and act. Senior decision-makers respond to structure, clarity, and emotional relevance, not data downloads. Learning how they communicate increases your influence.
3. Practical frameworks to turn expertise into action. Gain proven storytelling tools used by executives and consultants so your ideas are not only heard, but understood, remembered, and applied.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: You spend weeks building rigorous analysis. Leadership thanks you and moves on.
Olga Labutina is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.6 out of 5, across 25 responses, and rate Olga personally 4.8 out of 5.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Olga, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
Most leaders were promoted because they had answers. That's exactly what makes coaching hard.
You can be the most competent person in the room and still lose the budget, the headcount, the promotion.
Most organizations can identify their strongest executors. Fewer can identify who among them is ready to think like a strategist.
You're doing the work. Someone else is getting the promotion. If you've been told you're "reliable," "detail-oriented," or that…
