Kasia Olszko keynote speaker

Kasia Olszko is a leadership coach, culture consultant, speaker and growth facilitator who helps leaders and organisations create more human, conscious and sustainable ways of working. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, organisational culture, wellbeing and performance, with a particular focus on psychological safety, resilience, authentic communication and purpose-driven leadership.

An ICF-accredited leadership coach, Kasia takes a human-centric approach to organisational development. Her philosophy is that sustainable performance is not achieved simply by asking people to work harder; it depends on creating environments where people experience trust, purpose, connection and psychological safety. Her work incorporates neuroscience alongside a holistic approach to human development.

Kasia’s professional journey gives her an unusual perspective on leadership and transformation. She left home at 16 to study at The Urdang Academy in London and later built a career in television production, working on major advertising campaigns in Poland. After becoming a mother, she began reconsidering her own sense of purpose and eventually transitioned into coaching and facilitation, launching her own business after moving to Barcelona in 2017.

That experience of navigating major professional and personal change now informs much of her work with others. Kasia helps leaders and professionals understand their values, strengths and purpose, while developing the self-awareness and resilience needed to navigate uncertainty and lead others effectively. She describes authenticity, freedom and continuous evolution as central values in her own professional journey.

Her corporate work includes talks, workshops, leadership programmes and coaching covering Human-First Culture, Self-Leadership, Conscious Leadership, Authentic Communication, Sustainable High Performance, Resilience, Mental Fitness and Navigating Change & Uncertainty. She has also delivered mindfulness and mentoring sessions for Novartis talent at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Kasia also works with leaders around Positive Intelligence, purpose-driven leadership, work-life integration and personal impact. Her approach reflects a growing challenge for organisations: how to maintain high performance while protecting the human qualities—connection, creativity, trust and wellbeing—that enable people and teams to thrive over the long term.

As a speaker and facilitator, Kasia combines personal storytelling, practical leadership tools, coaching and audience participation. She is particularly effective for organisations looking for an interactive experience rather than a traditional one-way keynote, helping participants reflect on their own behaviours while giving them practical approaches they can take back into the workplace.
