For many years, Irina Ten served as program director at the radio station “Retro FM Kyrgyzstan,” and for over 20 years now she has been working in radio, hosting her own morning show and training radio hosts at the “Europa-Media Kyrgyzstan” holding company (which includes “Europa Plus,” “Retro FM,” “Suyunchu FM,” “Kyrgyzstan Obondoru,” “Hit FM,” STUDIO21)—she knows exactly what challenges people face when they want to learn to speak beautifully and effectively, and she knows how to work on oneself to sound articulate and confident—and to find joy in communication and public speaking. For the past 8 years, she has been teaching a course on speech techniques with journalist Daria Sidorenko. The main goal of the course is to help students improve their speaking skills and enhance their overall professional presence.
