🎯 What’s this Trial Lesson REALLY about?

This is more than a trial.
It’s your first step into clarity, confidence, and communication that reflects your true self — in English.

Hi, I’m Anatoliy.
I’ve coached over 20,000 sessions with professionals in 70+ countries — founders, VPs, managers, creators — people like you, who speak brilliantly in their native language… but feel blocked, tense, or not quite themselves in English.

🔍 What happens in our first 30 minutes?
In this session, I’ll help you:

Unpack your current speaking habits

Identify exactly what’s holding you back (and it's rarely grammar)

Practice real scenarios like interviews, presentations, or meetings

Shift your mindset from “I hope I don’t mess up” → to “I’ve got this.”

You’ll leave with:
✔️ Clear next steps
✔️ A sense of grounded confidence
✔️ A coach who deeply sees you — and your potential

✨ Who is this for?
This session is for you if:

You’re preparing for high-stakes job interviews, performance reviews, or executive conversations

You want to present clearly, calmly, and professionally in English — without overthinking every word

You’re tired of sounding less capable than you actually are

You want your English to reflect your intelligence, experience, and vision

🛠 What this is NOT:
❌ A grammar class
❌ A vocabulary test
❌ A typical “repeat after me” session

This is executive coaching through language.
It’s personal, practical, and 100% built around your goals.

Let’s make your English match your leadership.

🎙 Book the trial — and let’s begin the shift

Before you book another English class, ask yourself these 5 questions:

1️⃣ Do I want to sound like a confident professional — not like I’m reading from Google Translate?
2️⃣ Do I need results fast — not “someday, eventually, after I memorize all tenses”?
3️⃣ Do I want real-time feedback from someone who’s prepared 1000+ professionals for interviews, presentations & promotions?
4️⃣ Do I want storytelling, tone, presence — not just “grammar correction”?
5️⃣ Do I want to finally stop feeling small in English — and start sounding like the leader I actually am?

If you answered “yes” to at least three —
👉 we need to talk.

🎯 My program “Only Logical Choice” gives you exactly what your next role demands:
✔️ Structure that fits your thinking
✔️ Words that support your worth
✔️ Voice that shows you belong

💼 I’ve helped clients from Apple, Tencent, Amazon and beyond — and now it’s your turn.

📩 DM me “YES” if you’re ready to say:
YES, I CHOOSE TO SOUND LIKE A LEADER.

Speak with Clarity. Lead with Confidence. Master English Communication — Your Way.

Neuro-linguistic programming is an approach to communication and personal development that analyzes the behavior of successful people.
In business, neuro-linguistic programming can be used to strengthen leadership and presentation skills. It can also be used to increase emotional intelligence, which has important implications for sales negotiation and staff communication.
Modeling, action, and communication are core components of neuro-linguistic programming.

I successfully recruited 120 English teachers for a Chinese conglomerate on a freelance basis from 2018 to 2021. Through personal interviews and hosting Skype conferences, I gained valuable insights into the industry and what makes a top performer. My success is attributed to strong communication, networking, negotiation skills, and a strategic recruitment approach. The entire activity was aside my full time teaching, making me super  time organized and strategic for a number of years.

As a career coach for corporate China, I was cultivating empathy and active listening as they were the major components to be able to assist my clients. Moreover, goal setting and putting plans into action was another point I taught them about. By doing so, I wanted to raise their self-confidence, thus efficiency at work. Last but not least - job interview preparation was the main module of our meetings. Helping them be fully ready was the main component that made all the difference.

A good restaurant manager knows how to run a business smoothly and treat customers with respect and understanding. They should also be patient, stay calm under pressure, possess outstanding customer service skills, have excellent planning skills, and understand effective marketing strategies. Since I was the floor manager these skills were taught to me by my management board as I kept being promoted. However, I chose not to go to higher management path and I changed a)countries b) careers.

Helping corporate employees of Asia from mid-management to CEO level to communicate confidently in business presentations, communications to clients, and building confidence was the major scope of my work. Teaching 1-1 and group classes with up to 6 students. As a result, students become confident speakers and can communicate their ideas effortlessly in various business settings. I managed to teach nearly 2 thousand 45 minute classes

Meeting various corporate managers of China's top firms like Huawei, Alibaba, We Chat and others - the goal was to help them organize their thoughts in English for business trips, communication with boards of directors, prepared for presentations in English both online and offline. I was deeply involved in career-coaching to foster more promotions as I was an extremely relevant case myself ( the best employee of the year in 2 global firms). Managed to do nearly 13 thousand classes.

A corporate trainer needs a range of skills and these include good:

Communication skills
Time management skills
Organizations skills
Coaching skills
Basic understanding of pedagogy
Feedback skills
Research and design skills
Subject matter expertise or knowledge

It's great to work with clients from different fields. I can a) help them succeed better b)improve my professionalism along the way. This is what I continuously do for the past 8 years - helping people thrive using Anatoly's Process.

I tend to mostly focus on speaking in these sessions but also use them to review writing tasks.
