In this episode of Emotional Business, host Olga Skipper sits down with Olga Lorenz—partner at global executive search firm True Search, practicing visual artist, and mother of three—for an honest conversation about identity, creativity, and leadership in a changing world. Olga shares how her international upbringing shaped her worldview, why executive search is more art than algorithm, and how painting keeps her sane amid high-stakes boardroom decisions. This is a candid, deeply human exploration of what it means to live and lead without splitting yourself into pieces. We talk about: The power of humor and self-awareness in high-pressure careers Why executive search is less about resumes and more about resonance How Olga balances motherhood, a demanding career, and a vibrant creative life Her take on AI, authenticity, and the real meaning of “cultural fit” Whether you're navigating career transitions, leading a team, or building a life that feels fully yours—this episode offers perspective and permission to show up whole.   LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/olga-lorenz-5785a15
