The science of charisma, influence, and status, applied when the stakes are highest.
01 / About
Why does charisma matter more at the billion-dollar level?
Because the higher you rise, the more your success depends on whether people believe in you, trust your judgment, and want to follow your lead.
Clients have included founders of Airbnb, Brex, Paradigm, and TQ Ventures.
Bestselling author of The Charisma Myth, translated into 26 languages.
Former Director of Innovative Leadership at Stanford StartX. Lecturer at Harvard, Yale, MIT, and the United Nations.
02 / Advisory
A rare kind of access.
Olivia advises a maximum of four private clients each year. Every relationship is one-to-one and confidential. Over time, she develops a deep understanding of how you think, how you interact, and where your intentions and impact diverge. She identifies patterns you cannot see yourself and helps you change them.
Every client has unlimited access. There is nothing to book and no clock running: when something matters, you call.
During shadow days, Olivia observes you in real meetings and interactions, pinpoints what is helping or holding you back, and gives specific feedback you can put to use immediately, often after a single meeting.
Trust & influence
- Winning conviction for a vision, strategy, or investment when the room is skeptical.
- Navigating board, investor, and senior-team dynamics.
- Turning charisma into a company asset across recruiting, sales, and all-hands meetings.
Leadership under pressure
- Preparing for a consequential conversation, negotiation, keynote, or public moment.
- Eliminating the interpersonal patterns that create drag at scale.
