We Believe, Perceive, Convince.
We believe in language. Language that shapes our thoughts and actions. Language that drives us, that defines us.
The urge to express thought ever louder and clearer is hardcoded in the evolution of human communication.
Proper voicing of intent and opinion is key for achieving that distilled version of the self we all seek; a new and improved “me”,
in both professional and personal sense.
We believe in original thought and its delivery.
Because we value individuality. Because we believe in thinking authentically, in the inner voice we each possess.
We believe in success. Success, not as a means to an end but as the process. A state of mind that covers all aspects of life,
and maintains balance through reflection, assessment, response and resonance.
Writer. Business developer. Lecturer. Traveler. Book junky.
I want your readers to love you. Your clients to trust you. Your audience to go crazy over what you have to say. It is what drives me out of bed each morning.
My professional life consists largely of my experience in Business Development, which taught me how to apply my particular skills of communication in seeking out business opportunities. After I saw my professional network get too vast too fast, I had to further invest in building relationships online. I developed a methodology based on my firm belief that EACH WORD MATTERS. That honest words build meaningful relationships. (That “sometimes I just say stuff” is for little girls.)
I am a published novelist, and I love teaching Creative Writing to my students. I’ve studied Fiction writing at Boston University. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication; and Business Administration from the American University in Bulgaria. I also have a Master’s degree in Language and Culture from Sofia University.
“I find Kalina’s bits of advice instructive and very practical. She helped me polish my writing, my communication techniques and reach deeper into my connection with different audiences.”
“The 10,000 hours rule says: “The key to achieving excellencе in any skill is simply a matter of practicing for at least 10,000 hours, though in the correct way”. Wordborn and Kalina will cut the last three zeros of that number and will guide you to express yourself in the most splendid way.”
“Kalina’s workshops are hands-on, immersive, and a lot of fun. She’s the person to talk to if you want to rapidly level up your professional email and communication skills.”
“Kalina’s training is as fun and challenging as playing a game. She shows me tips and tricks that are easy to remember and incorporate. Her advice is super practical. My written communication is more interesting and impactful now.”
“Wordborn helped me develop my writing skills and sharpened my presentation skills. It gave me a different perspective on the opportunities I miss in my business communication.”
“Работата с Калина е онзи билет за лунапарк,
който те понася на влакчето на креативността. Има от всичко: лудост, умение, радост, уплаха,
изненада и най-вече вдъхновение, което струи от върха на пръстите ти.”
“IF YOU FEEL UNMOTIVATED TO WRITE, NO MATTER IF IT’S YOUR CORRESPONDENCE, ARTICLES, OR PUBLICATIONS – KALINA WILL BREAK THROUGH YOUR BLOCKS AND WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO LOVE WRITING AND HOW TO DO IT DARN WELL.”
“Искам да се оплача от Калина! Тя завинаги развали четенето ми на посредствени текстове. Вече не мога нито да ги чета, нито да ги пиша.”
(I want to complain about Kalina! She forever ruined my reading of mediocre texts. I can no longer read nor write them.)
“I find Kalina’s bits of advice instructive and very practical. She helped me polish my writing, my communication techniques and reach deeper into my connection with different audiences.”
“I WROTE AN EMAIL ACCORDING TO KALINA’S RECOMMENDATIONS TO A STRANGER AND, THE COLD-CALLING TYPE OF CORRESPONDENCE, AND I RECEIVED A POWERFUL AND POSITIVE RESPONSE. I KNOW IT WAS THANKS TO THAT EMAIL.”
We communicate primarily through writing. We write emails and we send messages in Slack. We document projects in Notion. We send meeting invites with a written description of the purpose. Each email and each Slack message can be a vehicle for us to improve, only if we knew how…Lucky for you – we do!
But what we all know is that we’re writing all the time. Here’s why:
