We recently connected with Margarita Y Pinhas and have shared our conversation below.
Margarita, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.
Thank you so much. People who hear me speak and hear my accent, usually wonder what’s its origin and I love to clarify it right at the beginning. I was born in Dagestan(part of Russia), grew up in Israel, and for the last years resided in San Diego. I speak three languages. This all is related because I got through challenges to find my sense of belonging to something and I’ve eventually found it in everything.
Every action I undertake is infused with a heartfelt intention to drive forth positive change in the world and foster profound connections among individuals. This journey usually commences with facilitating their self-discovery and culminates in nurturing meaningful relationships with others.
My professional voyage started within the Technical industry, encompassing IT, QA, Integration, Tech Support, and Web Development. However, my life took a transformative shift toward Coaching and Yoga, leading me to lead numerous projects.
Today, my primary focus is coaching others to reach mental and emotional release and instill confidence in public presentations, whether on stage or in the business world.
Margarita, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am an internationally motivational keynote speaker, coach, and Yoga Master. Speaking with audiences worldwide, I communicate my message – Confidence in Leadership through the eyes of belonging.
Having recently achieved the milestone of delivering my TEDx talk, I bring a distinct perspective on the significance of belonging. Through this platform, I communicate my message by aiding individuals in recognizing the paramount importance of connecting with both themselves and others.
Through my coaching, I empower individuals and groups to develop unwavering confidence, fostering strong mental resilience. My guidance paves the way for them to gain more personal freedom and success, whether on stage or in the business world. My core focus revolves around cultivating connections, providing alternative perspectives, and coaching speakers to exude confidence as they share their impactful narratives to inspire others.
With a collection of Master Yoga Diplomas, various advanced certificates in Success Coaching, and an Advanced Green Belt in karate, I deeply believe that we can stretch our minds to elevated levels.
I am a proud facilitator of the ‘Success Yoga Center’ (Business Success Retreat Center), Mitriya Leadership, and a host of the podcast ‘The Margarita Way to Success’ exploring the topic of overcoming fears and finding deep fulfillment with psychologists and leaders all over the world.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Since arriving in the US in 2017, my journey can be described as a rollercoaster of career highs and lows, beautifully illustrating the resilience I’ve cultivated within myself. At one crossroads, a pressing question loomed before me: should I return to the corporate world? Although the thought was met with strong resistance within me, there was a dilemma – it was the only realm I was familiar with. Uncertainty clouded my path.
My resistance has grown, even after I managed to secure offers from various companies, a powerful barrier held me back from embracing those opportunities. It was as though an invisible force was pulling me away from that trajectory, guiding me in a different direction – one of independence. And thus, I embarked on a new chapter, launching my coaching business.
Sometimes, our journey takes unexpected turns for reasons which are beyond our understanding at the time. As I navigate this path, I carry the lessons of resilience and the understanding that every twist, even those that seem incongruous, contributes to the vibrant tapestry of my story.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I used to firmly believe that a single career choice would define my life, and that change wasn’t an option. Yet, I’ve let go of this misconception through relentless effort, pushing aside the limitations imposed by others who insisted on the status quo. Overcoming these barriers demanded hard work and unwavering determination.
Though I have yet to reach my ultimate destination, I take pride in the balance I’ve cultivated.
I proudly stand on stage and empower the audience showing by example that your message isn’t just for you, it’s a force to empower and uplift others. With this purpose-driven focus, your potential knows no bounds, and the distance you can travel in terms of personal growth and impact becomes limitless.
