Reviews
“Venera helped me overcome my fear of public speaking, or rather, gave me a framework to work with it. I still come back to her almost every time I prepare for a talk. It’s also incredibly convenient to be able to delegate the slides.”
Engineer and entrepreneur, co-founder of tough-dev.school, co-founder of fansdev.ru
"We received a detailed written analysis of a video recording from one of our meetings, and personalized consultations to certain speakers on growth areas that seemed important not only to the trainer but also to the company's management. It was beneficial: the meetings became easier to listen to, and the employees' soft skills were strengthened."
Business Assistant to the CEO of EGGHEADS, a marketplace analytics platform
"When working with an external contractor, it's important to streamline all processes to avoid any mishaps. In our case, everything went smoothly and predictably. It's convenient that we can trust the speaker and not worry about anything."
