Marina's methodology is one of the best I’ve seen. Her assistance was so helpful that I was accepted as a TEDx speaker for two conferences in the USA. I have been also invited to speak at Stanford University, Harvard University, Air Force Academy, and Indiana Institute of Technology. I would not have been accepted for this tremendous opportunity without Marina’s guidance and support.

Marina was incredibly helpful with the development of my personal brand. Because of her help, I was accepted as a TEDx speaker on the first try and could prepare my TEDx presentation in just one month. It is very rare that people get accepted for a TEDx talk so fast and give a speech within such a short period, so I am sure that it is all due to Marina’s expertise in preparing me for this process.

As a TEDx organizer, I found Ms. Marina not only a wonderful speaker but also an awesome cooperator. She coached our speakers to ensure that they were adequately prepared to present the talk of their lives. She helped them improve their speeches and performances. She encouraged everyone to cooperate and made good suggestions so speakers could deliver memorable experiences to the audience.

I never thought of myself as a ‘speaker,’ but I wanted to grow my business and speak on panels. This course gave me a structure that made it feel doable. I recently gave my first live talk and people actually asked for my contact info afterward. That had never happened before.

I joined the program because I wanted to speak up about the trauma I went through. I wasn’t sure if I could give a speech about it, because it’s too emotional. But I tried the framework for writing a story that Marina teaches and spoke in our local community. What I didn’t expect was how deeply I could connect with people through my own experiences. It gave me confidence to speak more about it. Thank you!

This is brilliant! I have more stories to share than I can even put in a speech. Before, I thought I had nothing interesting to talk about, but now I have many ideas for my speeches and social media.
