Introducing Light in the Dark s.r.o.: Igniting Change through Storytelling, Coaching, and Team Building In the darkest time there was a little left of our business. When fear and anxiety took over in 2020 and we sacrificed our interaction with others (for good reasons) we realized what truly is important. By finding the way back to our deep rooted core value of caring, we only knew one thing to do: To spark some light in the dark. At Light in the Dark s.r.o., we specialize in Storytelling training, empowering individuals to effectively persuade, influence, and drive cultural change. We believe that storytelling is an ancient art form that transcends time, and we are passionate about equipping our clients with the skills to captivate audiences and achieve remarkable success. We complement our trainings with coaching services to support the implementation of transformative strategies, inspire leadership, and empower others to take action.
