Natasha Zolotareva is a trainer in public speaking and corporate story-telling. Her passion lies in giving a voice and a shape to stories that are worth sharing. She has started her path as a journalist in Russian printed press, looking for unique characters and stories that have to be told. For 5 years she spoke to artists & politicians; rock-stars & criminals; scientist & philanthropists.

Taking a spin of her marketing, PR and journalism experience Natasha have developed a series of workshop on corporate story-telling and an individual coaching framework for public speakers. Knowing exactly how to explaining complex concepts in simple words, how to capture audience’s attention came in handy when working with speakers.
