about me

Hi! I'm Olga.

Finance professional, data skills trainer, dashboard design consultant

I was creating bad charts for over ten years of my corporate career in finance and business analysis, before I learned how to combine principles of storytelling and cognitive psychology to create visuals which facilitate data-driven decision making in the organization.

I was presenting financial results in front of CE leadership of Retail and FMCG companies and in front of hundreds of employees successfully putting them to sleep, before I learned how to create memorable slides, which reinforce my messages and transfer more, than just information.

I was delivering my first speeches in the public speaking club with my heart jumping and knees trembling, before I became the president of the club and won inspirational speech contest first in my club, then in the area and finally got to represent Czech Republic at the European level.

Public speaking, storytelling, data visualization, slides creation are skills.
They can be learned.
I’m very lucky to teach them.
