01Plenty of knowledge, but no shared direction
In the interview, Bogdan Buleza and Mikhail Gechko discuss Business Code through their work in healthcare and printing.
Before the training, one participant saw an imbalance between work and personal goals. The other describes uncertainty: it was difficult to know what to do and why to move forward.
For them, Power ON and the subsequent coaching were closely connected. They describe a clearer vision and separate pieces of knowledge coming together into an understandable picture.
02They organized a promotion from another location
One memorable assignment involved preparing a promotion. It was organized remotely: the participant was not on site and worked by assigning tasks to other people.
What mattered to him was seeing that work could be done this way if he explained clearly what was needed.
The promotion itself did not have the expected effect. The interview does not hide this: the organizational experience was useful, but the advertising idea still needed testing and adjustment.
03They began asking different questions in job interviews
Bogdan singles out hiring. The program introduced approaches he had not known before, and he began applying them in his first interviews.
The questions explored specific difficult situations from candidates' experience and how they handled them. This provided more material for assessment than general self-descriptions.
The participants also mention team exercises, including a ropes course, and discussions about working with people. They connected these with trying to understand how teamwork is built.
04Financial tracking began at home
Bogdan says he began tracking his own finances more carefully and involved his household.
He planned to continue organizing things after returning. The interview does not demonstrate a fully established management accounting system for the company or confirmed profit growth.
The participants also value the material on online marketing and social media. They had previously lacked a clear understanding of how these areas worked and how to talk with specialists.
05They wanted more financial reporting and management practice
Their assessment goes beyond positive impressions. Mikhail wanted a more concrete examination of financial reporting using an actual company: how reports are structured and how to read them. The conversation also includes a request for a clearer approach to performance measures.
Bogdan wanted greater depth in team communication, including setting tasks in writing. He wanted more time for practical application.
They suggest separating training by experience: someone just starting out and someone who already owns an operating company with a team have different questions and starting conditions.
By the time of the interview, they had tried some new approaches at work, while others remained to be implemented.
