HI THERE, I’M STOYAN!
And my passion is helping leaders build people-centered, high-
performing teams.
Before speaking became my work, I worked as a movie producer,
which is where I learned first-hand a ton about productivity, culture,
and team motivation.
In the past 12+ years, I’ve had the privilege to work with hundreds of
organizations in 35+ countries.
I am also the host of the Productivity Mastery Podcast, and I
interviewed over 300 leaders, including names like Guy Kawasaki,
the founder of Reebok, and the president of Starbucks.
My keynotes and training programs are down-to-earth, (very) high-
energy, and as practical as they can get. They include many
examples and strategies from my experience and my interactions
with world-class leaders and organizations.
If you would like to learn more, DM me on LinkedIn and let’s get the ball
rollin.
