Olga Belenky
International Tax Consultant
Olga Belenky offers us a simple and effective way to help us reduce stress and tension, and come to solutions to our questions and problems.
Olga begins her story in Moscow, where she grew up and worked as a tax consultant at one of the Big Four accounting firms with a specialty in corporate tax. From there, her curiosity led her to explore new territory in IT and product management.
At the end of 2022, Olga and her family moved to Israel. Like many new immigrants, Olga began working in a different field for the first few years before moving back into international tax consulting.
It is against this backdrop that Olga suggested I share with you a tool she learned through Tai Chi that is tremendously helpful in helping her reduce stress and tension – moving out of your head, where worries and anxiety live, into your body, through the simple practice of feeling your feet.
Sara Koryowski
Legal Counsel Canada
Motivational Health Coach for Women
Sara Koryowski is Legal Counsel for the Canadian Federal Government, preparing legal opinions and providing advice during negotiations in connection with assets claimed by First Nations. And not just any claims, but rather claims that would normally be barred by the statute of limitations because they are over fifteen years old. This is because one of the objectives of her client is to settle.
In this article Sara talks about a significant professional pressure point she overcame not long being called to the BC Bar. Sara had always dreamed of being a lawyer. However, after working in both litigator and solicitor positions, neither of which were a good fit, she left the practice of law and worked in other positions for a period of time.
