In a story of worlds far apart, Olenka tells of her bold move to start a new life on what first seemed, the other side of the world. But it is in her new found home that she finds she has always had two worlds within her and she shows us how we are never void of a choice, awaiting us right in our palms.

Olenka Cullinan is the CEO and Founder of Rising Tycoons. Teen expert, inspirational speaker and teen success coach, Olenka has developed a “Backbone of Success”™ method that helps teen leaders become successful in school, life and the world. Olenka’s work with teenagers from 21 countries, combined with humor and personal experience made her realize how often adults set up the end result without teaching teens the ‘how to process’. Her wealth of experience in communications and leadership development has led Olenka to the partnership with SAGE Global, the global teen entrepreneurship organization. When Olenka isn’t travelling the world, you can find her reading, writing and coaching slam poetry, or hiking at sunrise.
