I extracted so much value that one cannot even put a price tag on working with Vika- it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself honestly.
I achieved everything I set out to do and so much more. Vika helped me realize who I truly am, and helped me verbalize my thoughts, desires, and ambitions in a way I struggled to do.”

Life is one big story - like a desert made up of millions of tiny stories. We think in story. We process in story. We behave based on story. Stories are the water we swim in - and once we understand the power of conscious storytelling, life transforms.
Leadership transforms through storytelling. It’s that simple.
KNOW YOUR VOICE
KNOW YOUR STORY.
KNOW YOUR POWER
VIKA IS A FORCE OF NATURE.

Vika Viktoria
Meet your instructor
As a record-breaking young media executive in NYC who worked with Coca-Cola, MARS, and Comcast, Vika understood that what holds leaders back from change is not change itself but their relationship to change. Her work with Volkswagen, Boston Consulting Group, and Barclays has helped her develop a storytelling methodology that catalyzes change on a cultural level.
Beyond her teaching, Vika is known for being a world-class speaker and storyteller. She was the award-winner of a New York City MOTH competition and has been featured in TIME, Dr. Oz, and VICE. Her YouTube series BRAVE NEW STORY welcomed Ido Portal as the launch guest recently.
Vika has dedicated the last five years to studying the role of masculinity - via her global men’s dinner salon - and its impact on their emotional well-being, leadership, and relational health in the boardroom and at home. Given 69% of all executives are male, these insights on the emerging narratives of masculinity fuel the work of her storytelling advisory, BRAVE NEW STORY.
In her advisory, no two days are the same. Vika has helped bring projects to life for world-renowned leaders, facilitated Family Office Legacy summits, trained founders before VC demo day, created custom EO/YPO learning experiences - all with her signature narrative based approach that focuses on human connection above all.
Under Vika’s guidance, I shattered old beliefs and limiting patterns, rewriting my story into one that is undeniably constructive, and significantly improved my effectiveness as a team leader. Vika’s coaching hasn’t just changed me – it’s redefined the way I engage with the world around me.

I care about quality over scale. Understanding your individual pain points will help shape the collective curriculum because if you’re struggling, likely someone else is too.
