ALLA AS A LEADER

Success is about hard work and its results. I am proud that my children see me as a self-realized mother, striving to realize their dreams and ideas.

Leadership is not a burden, not a hardship.

Great Leaders people from whom you can learn a lot, adopt experience.

The future of leadership is to share stories about your own experiences, about the path you are on. To transfer this experience to others.

When I think of a leader, I think of a successful person.

ALLA ON INFLUENCE OF PARENTHOOD ON LEADERSHIP APPROACH

Alla's experience as a mother of two daughters has profoundly shaped her leadership style. She emphasizes listening with care and respect, being open to different viewpoints, and evaluating cause and effect. These skills, honed through parenting, are now integral to her business interactions, fostering a respectful and collaborative work environment.

ALLA ON INSPIRATION AND DRIVE IN CAREER

Alla finds inspiration in the positive impact of her work, particularly the satisfaction and appreciation from her customers. The feedback from those who use and enjoy her products and services fuels her motivation. This continuous affirmation of her efforts and the enjoyment she derives from her work drive her to keep innovating and improving.
