One of the most valuable skill for carrier development is public speaking. it is almost impossible to become successful without good diction and accurate articulation. That's why I decided to improve my speaking skills with Linda. I am very satisfied with result obtained. During the education process (after almost one year and a half) I successfully passed job interview, got a promotion and became more confident in general. Linda's methods are various and interesting, one of the my favorites is using classic literature to master your intonations. Moreover Linda is very nice and we create good relationships. I recommend to everybody who wants to speak clearly and deliver its thought wisely.

Vadim, Milano, Italy

I turned to Linda because I was experiencing great difficulties during interviews when looking for a new job. In particular, I could not adequately assess my performance, I spoke without confidence, my thoughts were confused, I was very worried, and so on. All these symptoms increased incrementally, along with the number of rejections from possible employers. When Linda's ad caught my eye, I immediately realized that this was what I needed. After several consultations with Linda, we managed to significantly improve my presentation capabilities with the help of simple techniques, and she helped me understand the subconscious causes of these problems. I was able to start working on them. Subsequently, I successfully passed one of the following job interviews and got the desired job offer. All of which encouraged me to work further with her on my interpersonal and communication issues. Thank you very much!

Olga, Munich, Germany

As a person who has been working in the tech industry for the last seven years and is obliged to spend a lot of time on calls and online meetings, I have always been worried about how colleagues perceive me and my public speaking ability. After six months of studying with Linda, my fear of self-expression in front of a large number of people decreased, and a new sense of confidence in my speech helped me find a new job in a record six weeks instead of the previous six months. Many thanks to Linda for her support!

Elizabeth, New York, USA

I like classes with Linda, because everything she addresses is essentially, undiluted, and without unnecessary information. I appreciate her gentle approach for working with the rougher areas of my inner landscape, you might call it – Soul therapy.
Well, it seems that one may ask, "What can vocal lessons bring, except for a beautiful voice?"
There is greater confidence. I no longer present myself in the mode of a little girl. Rather, I find that now I sound and present myself as an adult woman. There is a new awareness of what I am saying and how I sound, especially in those situations that were once scary, or awkward.
The classes positively affected my work. I became more confident when talking to clients. The recordings of the online course became clearer, and it is easier for me to convey information, and easier to work on camera.

Alyona, Brussels, Belgium

Linda and I have been studying for probably more than a year. Initially, I had a desire to learn how to speak beautifully and not be afraid to speak in front of the team at work, or when giving interviews, or speak at various events without losing my place in the presentation. For many years I have had a terrible panic and fear of performing. Such that at that moment there was nothing in my head and I could only chatter on a piece of paper without taking my eyes off. At the same time, my head was pressed into my shoulders from excitement and my neck was simply absent.
Linda helped me to unearth the deep psychological aspects that contribute to my nervousness, and step by step we worked on them. What did we not do in class: we made bitter grimaces, did mouth exercises and breathed in various ways, sang, talked on various topics of interest to me. Linda is very responsible and professional in her approach to any problem or defect in speech. In addition to classroom work, there were regular homework assignments including practicing speeches on my own, and recording my video presentations. Together with Linda, we worked through the texts of my speeches and then analyzed the video recordings. I kept a lot of notes during classes and now, after several years, I still return to them and warmly remember Linda and follow her life on social networks with great interest.
Linda is a great teacher and friend! Easy, useful and effective communication lessons for life!

Catherine, Arnhem, Netherlands

I had problems with speech:
1) I often spoke too fast and my speech was often unintelligible
2) My voice production was plagued with a nasal twang. But after working with Linda for about a year, I was able to overcome this problem. Also, I managed to overcome other existing problems, my speech became balanced and clear, my voice was lower and more confident. I am grateful to Linda for her help and professional approach.

Igor, Munich, Germany

I turned to Linda with a request to remove the fear of public speaking, since at work I very often have to speak in public. For a long time I tried to find a specialist who would help me, but in vain, until I met Linda.
Linda is simply the best in her field! She not only puts a voice and works out your weak points, but also looks for the root cause. While we were working with Linda, I learned a lot about myself. I became more confident in myself, changed my attitude to many things and people, it became much easier for me to live. Linda also worked with my children and already during the first session, she immediately saw the problem and gave good advice. Linda is a nice person and it's easy to work with her! Highly recommend!

about me

Why have I been coaching since 2017?
To understand people deeply — their emotions, motivations, and behavior — you need more than experience; you need specialized training. My directing and acting education at VGIK, as well as my training with instructors from GITIS and MXAT, gave me a strong foundation. There I learned to read people accurately, understand the motives behind their actions, analyze conflicts, and break down complex interpersonal situations. These are exceptionally strong schools, and after completing them I can professionally analyze and teach profiling to others.

In the film industry and commercial productions, I managed teams of up to 500 people. This gave me significant leadership experience, which I now apply in coaching managers and professionals who want to advance in their careers.

For several years, I worked on air at the TV channel “Culture” as a host and commentator. During that time, I proposed a project dedicated to exploring different mentalities. After leaving Russia, I lived in various countries across Europe and Asia (50 countries), which allowed me to study cultural differences firsthand.

My connection with the United States began long before I moved here: years of individual and group coaching with Americans, regular public speaking, and deep work on emotions, reactions, and interpersonal communication within American society. Over the years, this gave me a solid understanding of the American mentality.

Today, I teach the history of American and European music, painting, literature, and cinema to college students and teens at a youth center. Working for the U.S. government (federal employment) helps me understand the country’s culture, values, and standards even more deeply.
In addition, I trained in dance in New York on Broadway in the Bob Fosse style — studying with his students and performers. I also sing in a jazz and cabaret band, which strengthens my expertise in public performance, emotional expression, and confident communication.
