Agile Project Manager, Scrum Master

I will help you create opportunities, make outstanding delas, and improve relationships through ethical influence and negotiation

I had a few successful careers before I found my passion in helping people make agreements. I started as a software developer and technical support specialist, then worked as a manager and an Agile professional. My career includes many years of working in a corporate environment in various roles.

I'm an immigrant from Russia since 2006, and it was a big change in my life, which I appreciate immensely. Living in a free country where democracy is supported on many levels is a true blessing. My transition involved developing new skills to build relationships with people.

The idea of my personal business has led me to achieve several milestones, including earning an MBA, obtaining a Crucial Conversations trainer certification, becoming a Cialdini Institute coach, becoming an author, and founding a community of practice where people can improve their soft skills every day.

I help sales professionals and company leaders master the psychology behind high-stakes alignments and agreements. Trained by the Cialdini Institute and Camp Negotiations, I have helped hundreds of people reach their goals.

Here are some examples:

● Took a senior account executive from 48% to 74% closing rate (2 months)
● Helped release funds that were stuck due to a disagreement for 5 weeks (1 consultation) 
● Helped a corporate leader secure a 12% salary increase (2 weeks of coaching) 
● Restructured client's role to report to COO (8 months) 
● Helped a client resolve a university dean & union conflict (1 month) 
● Helped a client close a deal in days that was stalled for months (1 consultation) 

✅ This works best for people who are open to collaboration
❌ Won't work if you are not open to doing things in a new way
