Introduction

I've been a public speaking mentor for the past seven years teaching people of all different backgrounds how to improve their communication skills. I specialize in making a presenter feel confident in whatever presentation environment they need, whether that be for a classroom setting if they're younger, an interview setting if they're trying to look for a job, a corporate setting if they're looking to move up the ladder, or a stage-speaking setting if they're looking for a career in media/entertainment or as a professional speaker. Not to brag, but my past clients have gone on to have much success in their Public Speaking journeys. Their accolades include Toastmaster's championships on the local and state level, Successful political campaigns, Successful book tours, National debate championships etc. In my time not as a Public Speaking Coach, I spend time with my family, I make music, I perform stand-up, and work on my other startup ideas. I don't really work past the afternoon EST and I am frequently fully booked, but please be patient and I am sure we can figure something out in terms of scheduling.

I’ve been working with Anand for a few months now and have seen significant improvement with my public speaking but particularly my confidence. His approach to this work is very applied and helps you develop and hone your skills in real time. I look forward to continuing to work with him and highly recommend.

Great coach. I needed help urgently and he was able to accommodate me in the same week. Learned a lot through the process and already using what I’ve learned in my work place.

I have been working with Akash for three months. Over that time I have seen improvements in my both my speechwriting and delivery, specifically vocal variety, pacing, and the use of imagery in my speeches to drive home my meaning. Thanks to Akash, I placed in the district finals of a Toastmasters humorous speech contest, even ahead of professional speakers! Thanks, Akash!

Akash provided tremendous value to my speaking. He is very encouraging but also practical with a good eye and ear for things I would never intuitively pick up on. I’ve had debilitating nerves going into public speeches, and that’s what led me to wanting to work with him. After a few sessions, I feel a lot more confident going into speeches and have since publicly spoken decently (without notes too!) One thing that really stands out about his coaching is how systematic he is - how he breaks down a speech. This allowed us to spot weaknesses, practice them, and improve them. Thank God I met him, what once seemed like an impossible skill to grasp is now something I view with more hope as a strength.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always try to figure out what each individual client's needs are before I proceed. I ask them first if they're looking for long-term growth or short-term prep before a big presentation they are nervous about. From there, I I'll do a general session to figure out what the skill level of my client is. We'll do some basic exercises and work on whatever presentation they are currently prepping for. After that, I construct a personalized plan with the client to help them move towards their goals.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I would say look for someone who makes you feel at ease. Reducing your nerves is a huge factor in making you a more competent public speaker, and you are unlikely to do that working with someone you are intimidated by.
