Are you riddled with self-doubt? If you’re not sure, … you probably are. Are you constantly chasing the approval of others, like a child chasing an ice-cream van?
Well, STOP. Let’s fix all that.
Inspirational Keynote Speaker on Confidence and Self-Esteem
Confidence isn’t something we’re born with — it’s something we build, one honest moment at a time. And sometimes, the first brick is simply learning to laugh at ourselves.
I’m Violeta Saladiene, a motivational keynote speaker who combines sharp, personalized humor with empowering insights to help audiences break through self-doubt, beat Impostor Syndrome, and finally own their worth.
My talks aren’t lectures — they’re energetic, interactive experiences that feel like a heart-to-heart with your funniest, wisest friend. Whether I’m on stage delivering a keynote or leading a transformative workshop, my mission is simple: to help every person in the room feel seen, supported, and inspired to step into their most confident self.
If you're looking for a speaker who can motivate, uplift, and spark real change — all while making you laugh — then look no further.
Let’s build confidence together — with courage, with honesty, and yes, with a good dose of humor.

Testimonials of Workshop Participants
Ian Hawkins, Writer
"I really appreciated the authenticity of the presenter and the clarity of the message. The most useful technique for me was doing hard things and then taking time to reflect on those successes. The workshop shifted my understanding of self-esteem—it's not a one-time achievement, but a habit we build over time. This was a powerful session that I believe most people would benefit from. One action I’m committing to is keeping my diamond up to date!"
Andrea Righi, Business Psychologist

Giota K., Director
"The workshop was fun and highly interactive—Violeta’s approach was truly excellent! The most valuable technique for me was reflecting on past achievements and successes, which helped me reconnect with my strengths. My biggest challenge was simply reminding myself of my own power and appreciating how far I’ve come. I’m walking away with a deeper understanding of how important it is to be kind and patient with myself, and to use more positive words in my self-talk."
Jill Segal, Producer
"I loved the personal touches, especially the human allusions to your husband—they made the workshop so relatable!

Meet Violeta
I’m Violeta — born and raised in Lithuania, fueled by curiosity, and powered by a lifetime supply of strong coffee and stronger opinions. My passion for speaking found me early — back when I worked as a Lithuanian/English interpreter. Imagine standing on stage, translating complex seminars in real-time, with hundreds of eyes on you... and loving every second of it. That thrill never left.
Since then, I’ve taught Sales and Marketing at university, built businesses across borders, and interpreted criminal cases in Crown Courts for the UK Ministry of Justice. Whether in classrooms, boardrooms, or courtrooms, I’ve learned how to hold a room and make even tough topics land with clarity, confidence, and a little humour.
Now I help others do the same — find their voice, quiet the self-doubt, and speak like they mean it.
Impostor Syndrome — My Old Frenemy
In Soviet-era Lithuania praise was rarer than sunshine in February and mistakes were treated like crimes. We were supposed to glow after harsh criticism — instead, I developed an inner critic the size of an elephant. For years, I wrestled with low self-esteem and a nagging feeling that I wasn't "enough."
Now? My inner critic has been downsized — from a roaring elephant to a grumbling little minion I call Moaning Myrtle. And let me tell you, life is a lot more fun when you’re not dragging around a circus.
Today, I help people kick Impostor Syndrome to the curb — with practical tools, sharp insights, and plenty of laughter.
