Leadership Development Program / Программа развития лидерства

The CEO role has changed more in the past year than at any point in the previous 25 years.

“This is one of the most testing moments for leaders. I’ve not seen that in 25 years. Today, CEOs face a new challenge: they must simultaneously run their current business, transform it in real time, and build entirely new business models for the future.”

— Mohamed Kande, Global Chairman, PwC (2026)

I believe this quote perfectly captures the leadership crisis we are facing today.

Recently, I delivered a workshop in Morocco for around 90 senior executives on antifragile leadership in times of uncertainty.

While preparing, I researched the latest global studies on leadership and human capital. Some findings were striking. Читать далее «Leadership Development Program / Программа развития лидерства»

Communication Workshop at Matena Business School / Воркшоп по коммуникации в бизнес-школе Matena

I’ve just returned to Cyprus from Dilijan, Armenia, where I facilitated a one-day workshop, Mastering Influence: Trust, EQ, and the Art of Communication.

The workshop was part of the two-days bootcamp Selling from the Top: How a Leader’s Communication Drives Business Growth, organized by Matena International School of Leadership and Professional Development and co-facilitated with Remi Smolinski.

During my session, we explored the foundations of effective communication, including:

➡️ Understanding how the brain works and learning to shift into the observer position;
➡️ Understanding and managing emotions;
➡️ Building rapport;
➡️ Asking powerful open-ended questions and practicing active listening;
➡️ Connecting with others at the level of values;
➡️ Identifying and transforming limiting beliefs;
➡️ Shifting the focus from problems to solutions;
➡️ Delivering constructive feedback;
➡️ Mastering cross-cultural communication, and more.

We had more than 20 leaders from the banking and finance, telecommunications, fashion and retail, marketing, and sales sectors.

As always, it was a true pleasure to teach at Matena. A big thank you to Ruben Hayrapetyan and Lilit Gyulgyulyan for inviting me back to beautiful Dilijan, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to deliver leadership programs.

Two workshops on mastering self-regulation and leadership styles were delivered by Gala Grigoreva and Tatiana Kolombet.
