About Olga Larshina

Lanes is a virtual classroom that empowers L&D departments to deliver meaningful and engaging virtual training and scale it consistently across entire organisation. Engagement is at the heart of Lanes. Our virtual classroom offers an array of engaging activities designed to enrich the virtual training experience, including polls, quizzes, breakout room discussions, feedback emojis, whiteboards, brainstorming sessions, role-playing games, and more. Participants can simulate negotiating complex business deals through role-playing games, visually brainstorm strategies using whiteboards, or collaboratively solve problems with spreadsheets during case studies. Polls and quizzes assess their understanding and opinions, while feedback emojis allow instant expression of emotions. By seamlessly integrating these activities in virtual training, Lanes keeps participants active, collaborative, and engaged. Lanes revolutionizes training scalability through its Program Builder with the built-in scenario feature and activities. Programs are designed and delivered within the platform, with the supervision mode ensuring quality control. Analytics reveal insights into participant engagement and training quality. If improvements are needed, adjustments are made, enhancing the program\'s effectiveness. Once refined, the gold standard training program can be effortlessly scaled to the entire organization, making it instantly available to every employee in every office. In addition to the virtual classroom, Lanes includes other modules like microlearning, offline training, meeting, webinar, and assessment. Together, these modules form the ultimate toolkit for professional enterprise-level training. Headquartered in Alabama, Lanes operates as a fully remote company (practicing what we preach), with over 70 employees across different countries and time zones. Lanes was founded by education technology leaders, Tamara Kocharova, CEO with 15+ years of L&D experience, and Mike Reynolds, a strategic consultant and PhD from the University of Florida. Our clients, which include renowned brands like Burger King, H&M, Mars, Amway, Hoya, Samsung, and numerous others, extend throughout the United States and worldwide. Our mission is to empower companies, particularly those with geographically dispersed teams, to ensure their virtual training matches the effectiveness, engagement, and comfort of in-person classroom training.
