....
Даже такой сухой технический термин, как "лесной межевой столб" или "пикет", полон неуловимой прелести. Если вы знаете леса, то согласитесь с этим.

Невысокие межевые столбы стоят на пересечении узких просек. Около них всегда есть песчаный бугор, заросший подсохшей высокой травой и земляникой.

Этот бугор образовался из того песка, который выбрасывали из ямы, когда копали ее для столба. На стесанной верхушке столба выжжены цифры - номер "лесного квартала".

Почти всегда на этих столбах греются бабочки, сложив крылья, и озабоченно бегают муравьи.

Около этих столбов теплее, чем в лесу (или, может быть, так только кажется). Поэтому здесь всегда садишься отдохнуть, прислонившись к столбу спиной, слушая тихий гул вершин, глядя на небо. Оно хорошо видно над просеками. По нему медленно плывут облака с серебряными краями. Должно быть, можно просидеть так неделю и месяц и не увидеть ни одного человека.

В небе и облаках - тот же полуденный покой, что и в лесу, в склонившейся к подзолистой земле синей сухой чашечке колокольчика, и в вашем сердце.

Иногда через Год-два узнаешь старый знакомый столб. И каждый раз думаешь, сколько воды утекло, где ты за это время побывал, сколько пережил горя и радости, а этот столб стоит здесь и ночи и дни, и зиму и лето, будто дожидается тебя, как безропотный друг. Только больше появилось на нем желтых лишаев да повилика заплела его до самой макушки. Она цветет и горьковато, по-миндальному пахнет, разогревшись от лесной теплоты.

The 3-Second Shift: From Tension to Trust

What if clarity had nothing to do with vocabulary?
What if your English didn’t need fixing — your voice just needed space?

In this episode, I share a story about one of my clients — a senior product lead at Tencent — who felt like she disappeared every time she had to speak in English.

She wasn’t struggling with grammar.
She was struggling with presence.

We didn’t work on performance.
We worked on something simpler — and far more powerful:
A 3-second shift that helped her speak from calm, not tension. From self-trust, not fear.

If you’re a global professional who sounds fluent but doesn’t feel fully you in English — this episode is for you.

DM me “VOICE” if it resonates. I’ll send you a short voice note you can use today.

Job Interview Preparation | Build Strong Communication Under Pressure

The 3-Second Shift: From Tension to Trust

Why seeing yourself negatively compared to others in a job interview process?

If we can relate this 'perception' way to your job interview process - how will you sell yourself effectively?

We’ve all been there – scrolling through social media, seeing picture-perfect lives, and feeling a pang of envy. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others, but it’s a habit that rarely leads to anything positive. So, why should you stop measuring yourself against others?

When you constantly compare yourself to others, you focus on what you lack rather than appreciating what you have. Imagine being a boss and inteviewing you with this 'perception model'. Would you hire you?

Of course not, this type of world's view can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, preventing you from enjoying the present moment and all the good things in your life. The only time we have is NOW, if comparing ourself to others takes away our NOW - what is the point of living? :)

In the podcast I am sharing some ideas that will help you break free from this habit - turning you into success magnet because you've decided to 'craft' new reality.

Dive into it now and if you want to learn to trust your senses more and get more relaxed on consistent basis - listen to my "Grounding & Centering Exercice" - it's a meditation practice to allow you to tap into the NOW and feel more bliss and hapiness.
