About Hanna

I know exactly why you freeze in meetings.

You know how to manage IT projects perfectly. But translating in your head, losing confidence in mixed-language teams, and our famous "Slavic directness" are holding your career back.

I specialize in helping Eastern European Project Managers and Team Leads. We don't waste time on general English. We focus 100% on clear communication and IT diplomacy:

  • Running Daily Stand-ups confidently without writing a script first.
  • Resolving blockers clearly with foreign engineers.
  • Building soft skills so you sound polite and professional with foreign customers.
