About me:
My story begins in the remote vastness of Siberia, where, early on, I learned that our limits are often just illusions. My journey towards success was not paved through perseverance and the power of the mind, which allowed me to achieve what many didn&apos;t think was possible.
This philosophy has been the guiding principle of my life and career.
After graduating with a Master&apos;s Degree in Psychology, I won several scholarships, which led me to study in the USA and UK.
From working at three different United Nations agencies to consulting governments, banks, and oil and gas clients, I&apos;ve learnt, adapted, and grown.
With over two decades of experience in psychology and guiding leaders, I&apos;m passionate about helping you achieve mindset shifts for personal and professional achievements through the power of subconscious mind and turn a journey that could take years into weeks. Let&apos;s achieve your dreams, faster.
