Longer Bio
Born in the former Soviet Union, Izolda conquered language barriers and a public-speaking phobia to become a heart-centered, engaging communicator. As part of the year-long immigration process, she and her family lived in a war zone. During that time, she began to develop her unique strategies to create, innovate, and manage stress through the body/mind connection. After she received her BA in English from the University of Michigan, she traveled internationally for NASA teaching professors, scientists, diplomats, and business leaders how to teach and communicate their message. She speaks on leadership, creativity, and mindfulness. She also presents leadership, communication, and creativity programs in the USA and all over the world. She lives in Brooklyn, NY, USA with her husband and their two cats.
A Broader Perspective in Her Own Words
After she completed her BA at the University of Michigan, she went into environmental education with positions at the National Geographic Society and NASA. Her years as a NASA Master Trainer let her travel the world to collaborate with thousands of teachers, scientists, diplomats, and students from many cultures. Her exposure to many cultures and languages forged her goal to connect people through creativity and mindful collaborations.
Now, she helps people and companies find their voices and become cohesive, focused teams. Through your work, your people will coalesce as a focused unit. They can get inspired to solve problems creatively, be more innovative, and take part in the company conversation. Some will also discover and develop leadership skills as a natural outcropping of your work together.
Workshop participants learn powerful methods that help them thrive. Izolda’s programs and workshops provide life-changing experiences to develop confident communication, innovative problem-solving skills, and creative genius.
Izolda continues to travel, connect with, and teach creative and innovation-sparking techniques to people, companies, and organizations.
