For more than 25 years, Canadian-born former actor Marianna Pascal has been dedicated to fostering clear communication and effective collaboration within organisations. Her expertise lies in addressing the unique communication challenges that arise in diverse, multicultural workplaces. Today, Marianna is widely recognized as one of the most impactful voices in leadership communication.

Her TEDx talk has garnered over 27 million views globally, placing her among the top 10 most-watched TEDx women speakers of all time. She is particularly known for helping leaders thrive in AI-driven environments by distilling complex messages into clear, compelling insights that resonate with their audience.

Marianna has coached more than 1,700 leaders across 100+ multinational companies, guiding them to deliver ideas with clarity and influence. Her distinctive approach to communication stems from her own childhood experience with an uncommon form of dyslexia, which gave her a natural ability to break down complex information—she even learned to write only in reverse. This unusual skill has shaped the way she helps others communicate with precision and empathy.

In 2017, Marianna faced another profound challenge when she lost half of her hearing. What could have been a setback became a powerful lesson in deep, intentional listening—something she now sees as essential to truly effective communication.

What once felt like obstacles have since become her greatest assets—turning into communication superpowers in a world that demands authenticity, clarity, and connection.
