Author’s Column: How Cinderella Worked As A Fairy And Inspired A Famous Business Coach And Writer

What to do when no one believes in you? How to withstand a barrage of criticism and succeed in spite of everything.

 Sometimes the kind words spoken in time by an almost random person can work wonders! The story of her acquaintance with the Ukrainian Cinderella of the 21st century was told by a leading business coach of Ukraine, an expert on sales of top business schools and projects, writer, author of the best-selling book “Start Saying NO”, Lviv resident Lyudmila Kalabukha.

Olya’s mother gave birth in the 10th grade. And they lived with their mother-nurse in the closet of the district tuberculosis. So far, one doctor has not arranged for Olya to take care of children in need in France. So 9-year-old Olya went to Paris. Cool, a girl from the district center and to Paris !! How could it not be!

In 8 years, Olya has changed 10 families. Her life was reminiscent of Cinderella’s life in her stepmother’s house. When guests came to the French, she either helped in the kitchen or sat quietly in her room. She was not seated at the table with everyone.

Temporary foster parents honestly worked out the money provided by social services. When they went on a visitor went on vacation – Olya was left alone in an empty house with clear regulations – what she can do, what rooms to go, what to eat and drink, and whatnot.

She was not allowed to use the Internet or TV (it was all in the late ’90s). That’s how books came into her life.

Impeccable knowledge of the language, passion for literature, and a clear understanding that you can only hope for yourself.

After graduating from school in Paris, Olya returned to Ukraine. Without connections and money, he brilliantly passes exams in the fashionable capital’s university and enters the budget.
Study like crazy, work part-time wherever you can. Cheerful, light, beautiful, with French charm, she quickly marries a wealthy man, 30 years older than her.

Here she is, the expected outcome of Cinderella’s trials!

Oh no. The child dies almost immediately after birth. Olya smoothes 35 kg. And the man is confused – instead of a grateful orphan with the appearance of Barbie, who should have pursed his lips and looked into his mouth, he got a strong-willed, strong, independent woman. A woman who decides for herself what will happen to her life. 

They parted as friends.

Olya loses weight, again – a beauty, finds a high-paying job, makes a rapid career. He buys an apartment for his mother, who flatly refuses to move to the capital – then works as a nurse in the district center. He does not understand and is afraid of his unexpectedly successful daughter.

At one of the secular parties, Olya meets a brilliant young surgeon who patented a revolutionary invention for the treatment of children with diseased limbs.

The stormy affair, life together. During one of the operations, her lover became infected with hepatitis C. Olya throws all his strength, money, and connections for his treatment in the best clinics in the world. Takes additional projects, and just lives on business trips.

The man translates their relationship into a plane – “mother and capricious child”. He could call 5 times a day and make complaints, which she is not interested in his health and mood. He was accused of indifference and careerism. She cured her surgeon and handed him over to his mother.

It didn’t work out again. It took 1.5 years of life and $ 20,000. Olya earned money.

We met 6 years ago in one of the schools of business coaches, where we studied together. Everyone, without exception, criticized my manner of training and providing information: I am too emotional, open, and direct. Everyone claimed that they didn’t do that and I was unformatted.
Except for Oli.

  • Don’t listen to anyone! 
  • Your charisma and energy will work wonders! 
  • A great future awaits you!

Once over coffee, she told me her story. I was impressed.

We lost contact. I don’t have her phone, I don’t even remember her last name. We were not friends on social networks – 6 years ago neither I nor she was there. So I want to believe that Ola is all right now, she has a family she dreamed of – children and a beloved husband.

I turn the pages of my book “Start saying NO”, which was included in the TOP-10 best books of Ukraine in 2017, and for 2 years without a penny for advertising and promotion in all online stores of Ukraine HIT sales. on TV and radio networks, at press conferences and forums with world-renowned politicians and entrepreneurs, I read hundreds of letters of thanks from around the world and remember those who believed in and supported me in a difficult moment.

How each of us needs faith that everything will work out for us!

How do we need support when others push us like an old man in the dust under the sofa just because we don’t fit their vision of how it should be. How each of us needs such Olya!
