No global crisis can reduce your intellectual capital, and knowledge, as they say, is something you do not have to carry on your shoulders. The question is when to do it? Where to go? Where and what to look? We answer: stay in any comfortable place, sit back and just take a small amount of time for yourself. Because in Chernihiv.IT we have already taken care of everything.

You do not know what to say, where to start... Even worse is when you have to talk about yourself or present your idea in public. It is hard to do without a sedative, trembling hands or panic. Or simply the speech can go wrong, because self-presentation is a kind of marketing and art.
