Empowering Leaders to Break the Status Quo and Lead with Unwavering Confidence

MEET ILONA PARUNAKOVA

Ilona Parunakova, the indomitable force in motivational speaking and personal development, commands a stage with the authority of a TEDx Speaker, Author, and Coach of international acclaim. A Dream Architect and unparalleled Confident Leadership maestro, Ilona propels leaders into the unapologetic pursuit of success with a fierce and unwavering confidence that leaves an indelible mark. She doesn’t just talk about transformation; she sparks it, setting ablaze a trail of empowerment that resonates globally.

A direct descendant of Armenian Genocide Survivors, Ilona’s roots run deep, infusing her journey with resilience and tenacity that fuels her mission. Her life story is a testament to triumph over adversity, as she defied the odds and emerged as a radiant beacon of empowerment for leaders worldwide. Branded “UGLY” by her kin for her unique blend of Ukrainian and Armenian heritage, Ilona’s path led her to an unexpected mentorship with a reformed former gang leader. Under his tutelage, she soared through a male-dominated industry, earning four promotions and overseeing over 2000 individuals, transforming them from criminals to disciples of positive change.

Not content with mere words, Ilona’s audacious spirit led her to infiltrate the Presidential Residency for eight consecutive years to steal, all with a singular mission – to uplift those around her. Ilona’s influence extends far beyond the stage, mentoring over 2500 TEDx speakers, including her remarkable 12-year-old daughter, a three-time TEDx Speaker and author. Armed with a formidable educational background in Business Administration and a Master’s in Ministry, Ilona is not just a speaker; she is a mediator, fundraiser organizer, and advocate for non-profit organizations, notably The Salvation Army.

Her impact has garnered recognition from esteemed media outlets such as Fox, NBC, and Forbes. Ilona Parunakova, a proud Marathon and Triathlon medalist, fluent in over five languages, and a former Beauty Pageant winner in the post-Soviet Republic of Georgia, fearlessly introduces herself as God’s Masterpiece, with God reigning as the CEO of her life and dreams.
