Media Bio

Victoria Lioznyansky is the founder of Brilliant Speakers Academy®, a transformational coaching program that has helped hundreds of high-level professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs permanently overcome public speaking anxiety and become confident, captivating speakers. 

After struggling with severe speaking anxiety for over a decade, Victoria realized that traditional public speaking programs weren’t solving the real problem — they were simply masking fear with surface-level techniques. Drawing on her background in engineering and communications, she created a proven, evidence-based framework to eliminate fear at the root and rewire the way people think about public speaking. 

Today, her Anxiety-to-Authority™ framework has helped clients around the world speak with calm, clarity, and leadership presence — whether in meetings, on stage, or on camera. 

Victoria is also a seasoned entrepreneur who has built multiple successful businesses and has been featured on Fox Morning News, NBC, CBS, BizWest Media, and the Houston Chronicle. 

She’s the host of the Confidence Within podcast, where she shares practical, mindset-based strategies to help professionals speak up and stand out. 

She holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s in Communications and Media Technologies. Victoria lives in Houston with her husband, two sons, two dogs, and two cats.
