Parmiss Borchers
Client Director | Google EMEA
A year ago, I committed to discovering and developing my leadership style through personal coaching sessions. The journey began with identifying my unique strengths. Taking the Gallup StrengthsFinder test, guided by executive coach Olga Cassidy I uncovered my top 10 strengths from a list of 34. While I always knew relationship building was one of my natural strengths, our deep dive revealed how to leverage it more effectively. What truly struck me was realizing that focusing on my unique strengths and knowing how to use it, instead of dwelling on weaknesses, can drive even better success. I really think, if everyone harnessed their strengths in both professional and personal lives, we could foster healthier and happier environments whilst knowing that we are doing what we love.
Sigrid Abdo
Regional Head of Marketing at Kerry - Food & Beverages
I have had the pleasure of working with Olga over the past few months and she has guided me in developing the confidence and clarity needed to lead my team more effectively. Her insights have been instrumental in helping me set key rituals that keep me focused and performing at my best. I highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills and professional impact!
Nikita Krupskiy
Head of Commercial Talent, Europe at OLX
Recently I had a great experience in our coaching session with Olga. I started with quite a vague request and thanks to the fantastic environment Olga created, I managed to clarify what is my real need and what are the attributes required to get what I want. Olga has a special talent for creating deep exploration journey where I was able to dive into my inner desires, identify and extract them and, what is even more important, tap to hidden energy sources. All of this gave me both clarity, what and when should I do as well as inspiration and energy to make these desires come true. Amazing experience!
Si Mohammed Benmbarek
Human Resources Director at Hilton Hotels & Resorts, CHRP, CHRM
I recently had the privilege of embarking on a coaching experience that has profoundly impacted my personal and professional life. Working with Olga has been nothing short of transformative, and I'd like to share my thoughts and insights about this incredible journey. From the very first session, it was clear that Olga possesses a unique ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where I felt comfortable exploring my goals, fears, and aspirations. Her deep listening skills and empathetic approach made me feel heard, valued, and understood. One of the most significant aspects of this coaching experience was the clarity it brought to me. Olga guided me in defining my goals and breaking them down into actionable steps. This process helped me regain a sense of direction and purpose, and I began to see my goals as achievable milestones rather than distant dreams. Olga has a knack for asking the right questions that challenged my thinking and encouraged me to explore new perspectives. Through these thought-provoking conversations, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and my values. It was like a journey of self-discovery that I didn't know I needed. I highly recommend Olga to anyone seeking personal or professional growth. her coaching goes beyond mere guidance; it's a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and achieving your fullest potential.

I highly recommend Olga as a coach for anyone seeking transformative personal and professional development.
Alexandra Suvorova
Talent Acquisition Lead at Health Co
My initial request to Olga for a coaching session was to receive support as I started a new job. During our sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of my top talents through the Gallup personality assessment, which Olga explained with clarity and real-life examples. Her passion for the subject was evident, and she provided both theoretical insights and practical exercises. We also focused on building trust in a new workplace and navigating relationships and connections from the start. Overall, the sessions helped me better understand myself and significantly boosted my confidence.

What we offer

business coaching, and strategic consultancy, we drive meaningful change that fuels performance, engagement, and sustainable growth.
Women are 50% of the world’s population, intelligence & capability – but they hold fewer than 10% of the leadership positions in the world.
That means companies aren’t leveraging half of the talent they could be. This is a significant business opportunity – the companies with stronger gender equality at leadership levels deliver 25% stronger performance.
That’s because diverse teams make better decisions 87% of the time: diversity brings better input, better discussion, better decisions, better strategies & plans - and so stronger results.
How to seize this business opportunity? We need to understand all the invisible, unconscious forces in the workplace culture that are holding women back – and we need to work on them one-by-one. As women, as men, as women & men together.
That’s what the TRANSFORM WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM does.
The program is designed and delivered by Olga Cassidy and Gill Whitty-Collins, Cambridge educated Senior Executive with 30 years experience in business & organizational leadership, an Author of WHY MEN WIN AT WORK… and how we can make inequality history on the subject of gender equality, endorsed by multiple business & thought leaders, including Paul Polman, NED & Trustee for 50:50 Parliament – Advisor to UK Parliament on driving representation of women in government.
