As CEO of Online Optimism, Flynn Zaiger spends his day keeping his employees happy, his clients happier, and the office pups happiest. Flynn started Online Optimism in 2012, after deciding that six months in the corporate world was enough. With the many resources available to entrepreneurs in New Orleans, he decided to see if he could create a better place to work, and help businesses grow via the Internet. In 2021, the agency turned hybrid, keeping their headquarters on the Gulf Coast while expanding to new physical offices in Washington, DC for their twenty Optimists.

In addition to running Online Optimism, Flynn is actively involved in the community. He has spoken across the country on topics including digital marketing, analytics, and how to manage millennials + Zoomers without the need to do TikTok dance trends. His expertise has led to being featured on Forbes.com, Inc.com, Entrepreneur.com, CIO.com, and Social Media Today. He’s most likely to be found with his dog Pimms while in the office, getting climbed on by his cats Bea and Jama when working from home, or in the few hours he is not growing Online Optimism, playing chess with his family.

For the last 12 years, I have been helping organisations use stories in valuable communication with customers and employees. Before that, I worked as an IT project manager and consultant for 20 years. That role involved a lot of talking, presenting and coaching. At the same time, I developed my creative side by taking classes in drama and improvisational theatre.

I got infected with the storytelling virus

The turning point came in 2006 when I saw a remarkable performance by an Amsterdam storyteller - I was overwhelmed. A few years later, I accidentally discovered that the art of storytelling has a huge impact in business too. Storytelling turned out to be a tool to facilitate change and greatly improve communication in organisations. Since then, I use storytelling every day as an effective and fun business tool.
Nowadays, I give inspiring presentations and training courses to entrepreneurs, managers and teams. I am co-founder of the Storytelling Guild in the Netherlands.

In my interactive keynotes, I demonstrate the power of storytelling when it comes to:

* leadership
* change
* teamwork
* corporate culture

You get a unique talk that is entertaining as well as inspiring. Because the talks are full of recognisable short stories, your audience will not be able to stop listening. The content of the presentation is always tailored to your audience. The audience will discover how the power of storytelling can make their (work) lives happier and more meaningful. They leave the room full of inspiration and with practical tips they can apply the same day.
This is not a Sit and Listen presentation. Your audience is engaged and given the chance to experience the power of storytelling for themselves.
