Your conversation can be rich and useful, deep and concise, light and witty. Either way, your audience will walk away with value, emotion, and meaning, and will be inclined to engage, respond, and share the interview with others.
Her experience in radio, teaching, a deep interest in rhetoric and public speaking, and constant practice make her talks engaging. They are easy and enjoyable to follow through to the final “Thank you for having me.”
If you are looking for a speaker who keeps a strong focus on your audience’s needs, presents information in a clear, engaging, and structured way, and blends usefulness with humor, Ekaterina would be a great guest for your interview.
The recording can be done online or in person
Possible topics for the interview
Communication & Adult Friendship
The quality of our lives is shaped by the quality of our relationships — and emotional intelligence has long been recognized as one of the key skills for a fulfilling life. These are Ekaterina’s core themes: the art of being yourself, and the art of being with others. With over 10 years of experience in psychotherapy, she brings both depth and practical insight — weaving together lived experience, reflection, and real-world understanding in her talks and podcast conversations.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship can have a human face — without compromising your values. Creative and flexible, yet grounded in systems. Thoughtful in its communication, gentle, nuanced — like the Inspire to Write a Novel project. Sound like something worth talking about? :)
Planning
Planning doesn't have to mean a joyless calendar stuffed with obligations and quiet guilt. It can mean authoring your own life. How do you carve out time for your creative work? For the people you love? For friendships worth keeping? For actually finishing something as ambitious as a book? Tools, motivation, life-changing insights from a writer and entrepreneur who's figured out how to make it all work.
Creativity
Creativity isn't a what — it's a how. How do you live creatively? How do you make time for what truly matters when your to-do list runs to pages? How do you find success in this demanding field and claim its rewards — the external recognition, yes, but also the quiet gifts that the creative process gives you along the way?
Living and creating in a foreign country
Ekaterina has moved from country to country five times and knows firsthand what the challenges of emigration feel like. Her book Europe Within Me is devoted to exactly that. She's also been in therapy for over a decade — and that work gives her perspective on cultural difference a rare depth. You could have a fascinating conversation about the creative, independent life of a writer and entrepreneur living abroad.
Writing
Ekaterina is the author of two bestsellers and one enduring long-seller, a writing instructor with two specialized degrees and over 15 years of experience. Her book Hard One to Write! has become a go-to for writers, editors, and anyone who works with words — or simply wants to. In your interview, she'll generously share what she knows about building a sustainable writing practice: how to start, keep going, revise, finish, and publish your work.
We’ll be happy to tailor the interview topic to your needs, as long as it fits Ekaterina’s expertise and values.
