Maria Zotova is currently working as an entrepreneur, consultant, coach and speaker. She is a fluent Russian speaker, having previously worked as a translator in the Russian speaking parts of Belorus. It is obvious that she has a talent for languages, and a wealth of knowledge about the subject. This is a clear indicator that she may be able to offer some insight into how a language and nationality can mix and match to create a successful career, public profile and personal life.
The problem here is that Maria Zotova has no professional accreditation or registration to speak of, nor does she really have any credentials that would give her any credibility or influence on the subject. She has also been criticized for promoting certain language programs, which are both illegal and questionable. However, it is interesting to note the fact that at the time of writing, Zotovaya is still listed on various corporate websites as a speaker. This means that despite being accused of being unsavory by various business leaders, she is still a very visible personality within the Russian business world. This is surprising, given the fact that most of the claims against her are either completely unfounded or at least overstated.
In other words, you could say that Maria Zotova is a very good teacher, who happen to teach in some pretty shabby conditions, and has quite a few students running around with their hands on the money. It is perhaps this inimical environment that has led her astray from what she should be considering, a career in the public sector. What is interesting, nevertheless, is that such circumstances do not seem to faze the woman, who continues to grow and blossom as an entrepreneur, speaker and whatever else she wants to do. Her ability to think for herself and achieve amazing results without any outside help, is the mark of a true leader. Given Maria Zotova’s professional associations and achievements, and considering that she is now an entrepreneur and a public speaker, one would only imagine how far she might take her career, both personally and professionally.
