Bio

Horizontal Tabs

Bio #1

Ilona Parunakova is an International Speaker with over two decades of experience in Leadership Development & Team Building.

Her high energy and ability to unlock the untapped potential in people have made her a highly sought-out Speaker for top organizations.

Ilona takes great pride in cultivating leaders and champions by providing them with the tools necessary to succeed, raising the level of expectation in people’s lives, and helping them transform their limiting beliefs.

Ilona is not your mundane, typical girl. She sees risk and goes after it: just as she did when breaking into presidential residency during an after USSR, and having few surgeries without anesthesia.

The change that I bring in my life to become a “Bonified Dream Architect”, is the same change I thrive on in you. I deliver focus while searching for “How” when you need to know “Why.” You will get a goal-driven life and an ambitious personality with a bold vision.

Ilona is a direct defendant of Armenian Genocide survivors of WWI, an Author, International TEDx Speaker, TEDx Enthusiast, Marathon and triathlon medal holder, and TV Producer of ILONA TV.

Bio #2

Ilona Parunakova is an International Speaker with over two decades of experience in Leadership Development & Team Building.

Ilona is not your mundane, typical girl. She sees risk and goes after it. The change she brings to become a “Bonified Dream Architect” is the exact change she thrives on in you.

Ilona is a 10X Best-Selling Author and International TEDx Speaker.

Ilona is a proud TEDx international speaker and brings a lot of encouragement to her audiences whenever she walks up the stage. Empowering people to find their voice even in the darkest times of their life is something that she is very passionate about. Knowing that many people out there choose to suffer in silence, Ilona hopes to impart courage and self-confidence so that they, too, can experience liberty in all its glory.

Her Christian faith has been very instrumental in her survival. It also allowed her to see things from a positive perspective—that no matter what happens, God will always be in control of her destiny. She unapologetically calls herself God’s Masterpiece and puts God as the CEO of her life and all her dreams.
