Awaken your voice
We, women, are powerful, strong, inspiring, and we have a gift to connect with others through the spoken word in different ways. The goal of the speech may be to educate, entertain, or influence the listeners. I would love to share my experience of being a part of the women speakers training "Phenomenal Woman" by Sonia Maslovskaya, the aim of which was the confidence boost and communication skills improvement.
If you are like me, continuously work on yourself, then my experience of the public speaking class will be useful for you.
Pretty powerful, and rhetorical, huh?! I always say that you are the one who decides whether to be good or phenomenal (it applies to every area in your life). Let me introduce you to a woman who will change and improve your communications skills once and forever.
Sonia is an inspiring and captivating speaker who has given over 300 powerful presentations to audiences between 100-600 guests.
Sonia is passionate about teaching communication and public speaking in the most positive, empowering, and uplifting way. I was at her masterclass, and I saw how passionate, professional and phenomenal she is. Sonia believes that the art of speaking could elevate all areas of our lives. I agree with Sonia, and I think that how you say something matters more than what you say.
Here are some tips from Sonia Maslovskaya that I've learned during the public speaking webinar on HOW to say, and I kindly want to share them with you:
UNDERSTAND YOUR EMOTIONS
Identify SPECIFIC emotions: know what emotions you want your audience to feel - compassion, sadness, hope. Express your emotions, and know what emotions to show.
Engage in an emotional connection! Call and response are crucial.
Engage in all senses, sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste.
Identify emotions you need to succeed.
Allow yourself to be inspired by your emotions.
build a strong connection
Start with a question, story, quote, unique fact.
Share something deeply personal.
Don’t think about your responses. Listen to important verbal cues.
BE INVOLVED
Ask questions throughout the talk.
Make the audience feel as if you are having a dialogue with them.
If you are afraid of public speaking, then I have good news for you. The first one is that you are a human who has feelings. Hurrah! You are alive!
Sonia recommends asking yourself these powerful questions before giving an important speech:
Why am I afraid? What is the worst thing that may happen?
Be honest with yourself. Face your fears. Remember, awareness is the first step in transformation.
You may also use the affirmations before you speak:
"My voice matters"
"I have a message my audience will benefit from"
"I am an expert in my field"
"I will speak with confidence"
Write the affirmations down to your favorite journal, notes on your phone, or record your voice and listen to it before an important meeting or giving a speech.
Remember that it's POSSIBLE to overcome glossophobia (speech anxiety), improve your communication skills and share your ideas boldly, and without apology by practicing, practicing, and PRACTICING with a public speaking coach.
Last but not least, advice from Sonia which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE
"You can never go wrong when following your passion".
To my mind, Sonia did a PHENOMENAL job empowering us, women, to speak with confidence and staying in our feminine power during the webinar. I strongly recommend you to take her 4-week public speaking course, Awaken Your Voice that comes with a bonus of a complimentary 90-min private coaching session. The course consists of four 90-minute sessions that will be conducted virtually in small group settings every Sunday between April 25th – May 16th, 2021.
Sonia will deliver a unique and memorable experience with excellence and elegance. Don't believe me? Check it out yourself!

Besides being a great public speaking coach, Sonia contributes to our world by combating human trafficking. I am DELIGHTFUL to support women who look with me in the same direction. Sonia has similar core values to mine; she stands for human rights and donates 10% of all proceeds to organizations that combat human trafficking and modern slavery. She works with several nonprofit organizations to improve the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people around the world and I CELEBRATE such women who CARE. And you?
Now, let's just be the observers (catch your emotion and decide how to act next). Who do you see in the picture below?! I am assuming that you see a fast walking stylish woman who wears bright clothes (she is not afraid to be seen), holding a planner (you may think that she likes to plan and values her time. In the reality, it's her product, and she published it probably because she plans everything ahead). She SMILES, which makes you feel safe to say "Hi" and start the conversation. LOVEMARK RULE N1: Let your personality speak louder than the words about what you have to offer.
🌜I am a Ukrainian woman living in Los Angeles spreading my love, knowledge, and experience with others who are like me: want to be happy, and fulfilled… BUT it wasn’t always like this. 🌜I struggled for years with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-hate, and false belief of being unlovable, or lovable but CONDITIONALLY (my childhood was pretty f*cked up and I had to grow up fast). 🌜I established my 1st business at the age of 18 in Ukraine and made more money than I made in the USA in the first 2 years of immigration. I invested the money I made IN myself: I immigrated at the age of 21 to a foreign land where I knew nobody to obtain my Master's Degree. 🌜Before immigration, I'd been into emotional&physical abusive relationships with an alcohol addict (you attract what you think you deserve). 🌜For 23 years of my life, I was overcompensating my childish misery with labels, diplomas, money, and achievements. I had a dream to work in the UN just for the working title (it calls overcompensation).
The happiest people are not those who experience blissful feelings, but those with the most stable positive outlook.
The below recommendations are exactly what I’m doing during the quarantine and I am sincerely sharing with you what makes me feel grounded during uncertain times, which doesn’t mean that I don’t care about the virus. On this blog post, I’m sharing some empowering home activities, which are focused on healing, self-development and grounding.
Well-being helps us stay resilient, build social support and self-efficacy, and cope with adversity. But what exactly is the well-being and if it's so good for us, how do we get more of it?
Each action starts with a thought and moral set. Leaving the hometown is like declining from your comfort zone. Why the abundance of people is ready for this step? Do they usually look for new opportunities or just running away from the previous life?
Do the goals unite people, while very often, problems, challenges and troubles unite people. Didn’t you notice that?
In the American Journal of Psychology it is defined in this way: "A habit, from the standpoint of psychology, is a more or less fixed way of thinking, willing, or feeling acquired through previous repetition of a mental experience." Habits are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. Believe me or not, but how happy, successful and fulfilled you are in your life is the result of your habits.
Everyone knows that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US became the only superpower in the world. What does the superpower really mean and how America became a superpower?
