My Approach: I don’t do fluffy coaching. My style uses provocation, direct questions, and occasional humor to cut through the noise and get to what’s actually blocking you. No coddling—just straight talk that expands your thinking and drives action.

I focus primarily on business problems because that’s where my 20+ years of corporate experience provide real value. That said, I work with practically any challenge you’re facing.

Reviews

Recently I had individual mentoring with Olga Feschenko, and it was a brilliant session. We thoroughly analyzed a wide range of pressing questions from pitch and positioning to fundraising. But the most valuable thing, looking back, is not just the ‘inspiration’ during the process, but the concrete actions today and results following our collaborative work. Thank you so much, Olga and AngelsBand for the opportunity and your support 💎

Maria Nicolaeva
Marketing Executive & co-founder at OpenHalt

I had the pleasure of working closely with Olga for three years, during which she led our services business in the Americas with dedication and skill. Olga built strong relationships with our clients in the region, helping them navigate through major technology transformation projects and delivering results.

Olga managed our Americas services team, creating a team spirit and encouraging the consultants to put in extra efforts when needed to support our clients.

Beyond her core technical and leadership skills, Olga brings integrity and commitment-to-detail to the business and I have no doubt that she will continue to deliver results in her future endeavours — she would be a valuable asset to any business.

Jon May
Chief Sales and Marketing Officer

I had the pleasure of working with Olga on several projects where she has acted as project director. She is an exceptional leader with a strategic mindset. She excel at managing complex projects, aligning teams, and delivering results under pressure. Her ability to navigate challenges while fostering collaboration and maintaining morale is truly commendable. A great mentor and communicator, Olga brings out the best in everyone around them. Highly recommended to lead projects to production and to foster success & growth for the whole team.

I had the privilege of working with Olga Feschenko for three years, during which her support and mentorship were invaluable to my growth.
She has a deep expertise in Project Management and consistently provided clear guidance and feedback.
Olga fosters a positive and collaborative work environment, empowering her team to excel.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned so much from her and highly recommend her as a leader.

Mahmoud Shoman
Senior Delivery Manager

A huge thanks to Olga for an amazing session and for helping me structure my tactical steps toward my goal. Guys, this is powerful! Olga has an incredible talent for organizing things! I would have rambled endlessly and spent days drafting my plan. But here, it’s such a gift—a complete scenario with a happy ending created in just two hours. Now, all I have to do is to execute it brilliantly, because it would be a shame to let the scriptwriter down.

Elena Groznykh

I want to thank Olga for the provocative coaching session. It was very unusual and unexpected, yet incredibly deep and interesting. What’s fascinating is that I thought I’d leave with a ready-made solution, but instead, I walked away feeling completely turned upside down—like I’d been provoked from every angle, and there was this sense of total confusion 🙃 But in the end, out of that confusion later emerged the exact clarity I had come for. Thank you for this new experience!

Kate Novitskaya

I’m grateful to Olga 😊 for interesting provocative coaching session where we approached my request from a different angle. 😊 It’s incredibly useful to periodically take a realistic look at your situation, shifting the responsibility for everything happening back onto yourself. 😊

It’s refreshing, invigorating, and freeing to realize that, in a way, «the future could already be behind you.» 😊

This method works wonderfully when psychological defenses are strong, rationality is abundant, but there’s also emotional resilience and an inner drive to finally take action. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Thank you, Olga ❤️❤️

Helga Karelova

Thank you Olga for the awesome provocative coaching! which allowed me to see the needs of my inner child in the process of counseling clients. and to understand what to emphasize in order to delight and energize that child. the unpacking continues!

Yulia Yakovleva

I want to share my experience of working with Olga. It was interesting to experience the provocative method for myself. Olya was not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions) Sometimes there was resistance to these questions, but this also allowed me to look at my request from a different angle and see the solution from a completely unexpected perspective. And this is worth a lot. Thank you, Olya.

Guzel Gabdrakhimova

Super super impressed by how positive Olga is! 💫

She helped me see how my thoughts — though invisible — shape my reality and results. Looking for that perfect balance between comfort and growth!

Really love how Olga helped me understand my thinking patterns. These conversations are truly inspiring! Thank you so much Olga! 🙏

One of PMI mentees

Really enjoy all the conversations with Olga, help directing me thinking about life in another level, try to be more objective to view what happened. It is different than seeing my past by myself. 🔍

(as discussing how I deal with those «unused» stuff that I never damp in my room, remembering the internal feeling that I chose what I want with all my passion and enthusiastic) 💭

I am excited to see changes in my life, no matter it is minor or in what kind of pace, as long as it keeps going. ✨

Agreements: Power of Generalizations

Generalizations are a natural part of how we process the world—they help us make sense of things quickly and form patterns that guide our actions. However, they can also be limiting and misleading if not carefully examined. The key is recognizing when a generalization is useful and when it might cause harm.

Turning Your Goals into Action: Transform Planning with Provocative Coaching

Many people believe they know what they want, but they often struggle with how to get started. They defer actions to an indefinite future, feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of planning. While they recognize the need for a plan, the thought of putting it down on paper feels like completely not doable. And keeping it all in your head rarely works—it lacks the structure and clarity needed to drive results.

FAQ

What is Provocative Therapy?

Provocative Therapy is a therapeutic approach developed by Frank Farrelly. It uses humor, irony, exaggeration, and even mild ridicule to help clients see their problems from a new perspective. As one of communication approach, the therapist plays the role of a «devil’s advocate» to provoke emotional reactions and encourage self-reflection.

What is PCW?

Provocative Change Works (PCW) is a communication method created by Nick Kemp and inspired by Frank Farrelly’s work that uses unusual questions and deliberate challenges to help people break out of stuck thinking patterns.

It employs techniques like exaggeration, expressing doubt, and asking «What’s the problem?» instead of «What do you want?» to get people thinking differently about business challenges. PCW focuses on being very specific with language, working with what’s happening right now, and using over 40 different conversation styles to help transform limiting beliefs and improve workplace communication.

Is Provocative Therapy offensive?

PCW and Provocative Therapy stay respectful by always using the «talking as if to an old friend» approach — meaning you speak with genuine warmth and care even when being challenging. This creates a safe foundation where people know you’re on their side, so when you say something unexpected like «What’s wrong with that approach?» it feels like helpful curiosity rather than criticism. The techniques target stuck thinking patterns and limiting beliefs, not the person themselves, similar to how a caring friend might lovingly challenge you when you’re stuck in a rut. The provocative elements are carefully calibrated — they’re designed to interrupt unproductive mental loops and open new possibilities, not to hurt or offend. Think of it like a good friend who cares enough to ask the tough questions that help you see things differently, always with your best interests at heart.
