What makes someone a great communicator? Is it talent… or a skill that can be trained?
In this episode of the Recursive Roundtable, we explore the art of communication from multiple perspectives — recruitment, HR, filmmaking, storytelling, and coaching.
Joining the host Teodora Atanasova on this topic are:
Boryana Borisova, Director of Talent Acquisition @ Delasport; ICF Certified Coach;
Konstantin Kunev, Interim CEO @ Future Unicorns Accelerator;
Andrey Andonov, Video Producer & Storyteller @ The Recursive.
Together they discuss:
☑️ Why communication starts and ends every human interaction ☑️ How vulnerability and storytelling build real connections ☑️ The relationship between personal development and career growth ☑️ Why many people avoid training communication skills ☑️ The difference between personal branding and reputation ☑️ How great communicators manage energy, presence, and adaptability
In this episode of The Recursive Roundtable, three practitioners unpack where AI truly adds value — and where it doesn’t. They focus on practical implementation, human judgment, and the guardrails needed to keep quality high.
We examine how to start with AI the right way (individual productivity tools vs. team-wide process changes vs. building ML products, and why not every problem is a fit), how to protect human intent and quality in content and decision-making (avoiding generative sameness, using clear context and strong first drafts), and what AI can and can’t do in product design/UX.
GUESTS: Zamina Ahmad, AI & ML Product Leader, CEO @ shades&contrast Ioana Teleanu, Founder & Design Consultant, ex-Miro & UiPath @ AI-R Design Studio, ex-Miro Andrew Mende, Senior Product Manager Machine Learning @ Booking.com
