“Alexey has a remarkable ability to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics with graceand tact. He consistently demonstrated a natural talent for diffusing conflict and guidingindividuals towards constructive win-win outcomes. His approach is not only empathic butalso strategic, ensuring all voices are heard while keeping the focus on resolution andforward progress.”
“Alexey’s support was invaluable as he helped me develop strategies for dealing with both personal and professional issues that I was facing. Alexey helped me clarify my objectives, identify and evaluate alternatives, and pushed me to consider and explore potential outcomes that I didn’t initially see or thought were possible. Alexey possesses a rare talent for empathetic listening, synthesis, and challenging his client in a constructive and respectful way.”
“Alexey’s approach was a well-balanced combination of emotional inspiration and structured problem-solving, demonstrating his expertise as a top-level professional. His deep engagement, thorough knowledge of the session’s subject matter, ability to captivate and read the audience, as well as his skill in clearly defining goals and objectives, ensured that the session was conducted at the highest standard. The preliminary diagnostics helped identify the team’s “weaknesses”, allowing us to effectively work on their improvement and reinforcement. We conducted a session with Alexey, and my expectations were fully met:
• During the session, we saw a noticeable increase in the team’s energy level, improved alignment and accountability, and developed an ambitious mission.
• In the weeks following the session, we resolved process-related frictions and clarified roles and responsibilities, leading to seamless communication within the team.
• A year later, we were able to measure the session’s impact in financial terms: by mid-2020, we achieved a 27.5% increase in overall revenue, with certain business areas exceeding 40% growth, along with a strong sales pipeline. This session proved to be a valuable investment, driving both team cohesion and measurable business success.”
“As a coach, Alexey quickly grasps the essence of the situation and identifies the mental blocks that may be holding a person back. For me, the most valuable aspect was his feedback on action versus inaction. Turning inaction into action may seem like a simple technique, but it is incredibly effective, and Alexey makes it a point to facilitate this energy shift in every session. In programming, there is a concept called MVP (Minimum Viable Product) — a basic yet functional version of a product that, despite its imperfections, already delivers value. The same principle applies here: we define a concrete action plan — one that works or has the potential to work under given circumstances. The key is that we establish it here and now, without postponing decisions indefinitely. This approach creates a tangible and effective mechanism for progress.”
“I have made mediation the central theme of my coaching sessions—a skill that, I am convinced, is essential for most modern HR leaders in large corporations. The results of working with Alexey became evident very quickly. Team collaboration became more effective, relationships grew more open and trusting, and we became better at reaching agreements—both within our team and with leaders from other company departments. Through these sessions, we worked on both negotiation techniques and emotional management in negotiations. My personal effectiveness also improved significantly. I am confident that this success was made possible thanks to Alexey’s professionalism, flexible approach, and deep engagement with the challenges we needed to address.”
“Due to his high intellect and innovative approach to negotiation, I elected to invite Alexey to serve as a co-professor in teaching several classes of Advanced Negotiation. During these sessions, Alexey flawlessly demonstrated his skill and intuition on when to implement both basic and advanced tools that assist in bringing parties together and avoiding impasse. His recognition and creativity to dealmaking and consideration of interests that may not be recognized by others, never ceases to amaze me.”
“Alexey has provided our company with an evaluation and development center, as well as trainings. His coaching professionalism helped him to interest and inspire all the participants during the training process, including those who were skeptical at first. Alexey has demonstrated professional mastery of the entire palette of teaching methods. As a result, the average margin of almost every transaction increased by 5-8% when compared to the same months last year and the previous month. This brought us a significantly higher gross profit. “Tender vs. closed deal” indicator increased by 15% during the first month after the training. Now, after three months, this figure has already increased by 30%. Everyone around noticed a significant increase in self-confidence and motivation of the sales team.”
“Mr. Nazarov has made even greater contributions to my second book, The Getting to Yes Guide for ESL Students and Professionals: Principled Negotiation for Non-Native Speakers of English. He served as my “ideal reader”: a non-native speaker of English with extensive negotiation experience who had an authentic need to read and apply the classic negotiation book, Getting to Yes, in English. His feedback helped me improve this guide from the inside out. During our weekly Zoom meetings, one for each chapter, Mr. Nazarov used his negotiating expertise to deliver his verdicts on everything from idioms to explanations of contract negotiations with clarity, tact, and charm. Thanks to his dedication to his project, and to his deep understanding of my readers’ needs in terms of both theory and practice, the guide became more focused, user-friendly, and practical, and my work became more of a pleasure.”
