Hey there! My name is Olena and I spent nine years working in tech startup fast-paced environments where everything feels urgent, goals are ambitious, and people give their all. Over that time, I had the privilege of managing and coaching some of the most incredible QA and software engineering teams. I learned how to support people in developing their skills, reaching their full potential, and delivering results that drive business forward.

But I also learned something the hard way: performance has a shadow side. Without healthy work habits, clear boundaries, and rest, high performance can tip into burnout. I've seen it in my teams, and I've experienced it myself.

I've learnt that success does not mean working harder, but working smarter. It requires building resilience, managing energy, and creating systems that allow us to sustain our performance without overextending ourselves.

Today, I want to give back to the community that shaped me. I'm passionate about helping people develop healthier working habits and boundaries, so they can not only achieve their ambitious goals but also enjoy the process. My focus now is to share what I've learned: how to build the resilience and energy to thrive, how to grow while protecting your wellbeing, and how to create a sustainable foundation for your performance. Because your career growth doesn't have to come at the cost of your health.
