Portrait of Yaroslav Stepaniuk, IT Soft Skills Trainer & Instructional Designer

About

Yaroslav is an IT Soft Skills Trainer and Instructional Designer based in Bonn, with 8+ years across IT, Operations, Management and Learning & Development.

He worked as a CS agent, Team Lead and Senior Corporate Trainer (Plarium, Namecheap), leading teams of 6–20 and coordinating trainers, QA specialists and team leads. He helped to build a Customer Support division from scratch.

His style is gamified and experiential: 200+ IT workshops (5–25 people), 50+ networking events (10–50 people). He speaks English and Ukrainian, and believes the fastest way to learn a soft skill is to practise it under mild pressure, not listen to a lecture about it.

How I can help you

Clear directions of work in one focused 60–90 minute session.

01

Communicate with impact

Business communication for IT, especially in English. How to be clear, brief and taken seriously by stakeholders and clients.

02

Present without freezing

Presentation and public-speaking mechanics for engineers and PMs. Build muscle through structured practice, not theory.

03

Lead people, not tickets

For new and mid-level tech leads: motivation, conflict resolution, performance conversations and running 1:1s that matter.

04

Design training that sticks

Instructional design for internal L&D: turn chaotic onboarding and ad-hoc training into a repeatable, measurable program.

What past mentees say

Real feedback from the kind of conversations we’re bringing to this landing.

“Before the session I “knew” my slides were fine. Halfway through I was rewriting the first 3. That’s how you know you need a coach, not YouTube.”
Senior Frontend Engineer
Lviv, UA
“We ran a real stakeholder scenario. He stopped me twice, reframed it, and now I use that pattern every 1:1. That’s worth its weight.”
Engineering Team Lead
Bonn, DE
“It was practice, not a lecture. I walked out tired in the good way — the way you’re tired after actually training something.”
