Media Bio

Victoria Lioznyansky is a public speaking confidence coach and the founder of Brilliant Speakers Academy®, a coaching program that helps senior professionals, corporate leaders, and business founders overcome public speaking anxiety and communicate with calm, authority, and impact in high-stakes speaking moments.

After struggling with public speaking anxiety herself for many years, Victoria saw firsthand why traditional public speaking training often falls short. Most programs focus on performance and technique, while ignoring what's actually happening internally when the pressure is on. Drawing on her background in computer science and communication, she developed an evidence-based approach that helps people build real confidence under pressure and develop communication skills that feel natural, grounded, and effective.

Victoria has built a successful corporate career as well as multiple businesses, giving her firsthand experience inside high-performing corporate environments and entrepreneurial leadership alike. She has been featured on Fox Morning News, NBC, CBS, BizWest Media, and the Houston Chronicle. She is also the host of the Confidence Within podcast, where she explores the intersection of confidence, communication, and leadership.

She holds graduate degrees in Computer Science and Communication and lives in Houston with her family, two dogs, and three cats.
