TEDxSadovoeRingSpeaker Curator + Public Speaking Coach
Jan. 2014 - Jan. 2017Moscow, Moscow City, RussiaPreparing speakers for TEDx has been and remains one of the most important milestones in my professional journey. I was lucky enough to be part of the TEDxSadovoeRing team, which was made up of truly amazing and inspiring individuals who were honest, open and well-educated. That was a team in which all relationships were built on mutual respect and dedication to a common cause. Working with Artyom Rodichev was a unique experience for me. He was an exceptional leader who never commanded, coerced, or threatened. Instead, he was driven by his vision of putting together the best TEDx event in Russia and he motivated us all to strive for this goal. I must admit that I didn’t get a penny for this work, unless, of course, you count the set of colored pencils that Artem gave me. However, I gained so much more – a priceless experience in preparing remarkable people for public speaking and showcasing the real heroes of our time.
