Here’s the truth about public speaking that nobody else will tell you: It’s not about you. It’s about them. Who’s “them,” kemosabe? It’s the audience. It’s the men and women you work with. It’s your customers. It’s your bosses. It’s the family you go home to at the end of the day. Every time you stand in front of a room and speak, you have the chance to bring real & meaningful value into their lives. Presentations are about people. The words we communicate are just a way to share value with others. Problem is we don’t always know if the words we say land where they should — we don’t know if the message “clicks”. In 12 weeks the year will end and you could be no smarter or wiser. Another year of being being passed over for a raise. Another year of being ignored. Another year of struggling in quiet frustration. Doesn’t have to be that way. High Impact Presentation Skills (HIPS) was designed to offer you FIELD TESTED and PROVEN templates and techniques.

Experience Beyond Appearances I often get second-guessed about my age. While I may look like I'm in my late 20s/30s, my journey is anything but inexperienced. I've had the privilege to amass a wide range of experiences across various sectors: ✅ In-depth knowledge of the automotive industry, from pistons and clutches to exhaust systems and crankshafts. ✅ Impactful contributions in both the private and government sectors. ✅ Transforming the lives of approximately 10,000 national service teens through impactful initiatives. ✅ Running a costume business, collaborating with theaters, musical productions, directors, and C-Suites. ✅ Certified Image Consultant providing expert guidance. ✅ Certified HRDC trainer since 2013, imparting personal grooming and business etiquette knowledge to youth, executives and managers across telco, banking, manufacturing, O&G, retail, and more. Despite appearances, extensive experience and knowledge speak for themselves. Here’s to breaking stereotypes and showcasing that true expertise is reflected in our stories and the lasting impact we create. #ExperienceMatters #Leadership #Innovation #CareerJourney #TheaterProduction #ImageConsulting #GovernmentProjects #Training #BusinessEtiquette **Thank you Prathaban Sevaraman, MBA, BPharm for sharing your experience.

🌍 Summit Day on Kilimanjaro: When Communication and Teamwork Become a Matter of Survival 🏔️ At 10 pm we are starting our climb to the top of Africa. After months of preparation, I finally found myself on summit day, heading toward the top of Kilimanjaro. The journey was long and gruelling, but nothing prepared me for what came next. About six hours into the climb, at high altitude, my oxygen levels plummeted to a dangerous 52%. At that moment, communication became crucial for survival. I was weak, disorientated and basically felt completely wobbly (like a few too many glasses of bubbly...) This is when communication is key, but how do you communicate with a guide who doesn't speak much English? It is all about the trust and listening carefully. We can take so many life lessons from this experience into everyday life in the office. Communication is critical: Whether it’s delivering timely feedback, sharing goals, or offering support, clear and effective communication can be the difference between success and failure. Teamwork matters: Surrounding yourself with people you trust and who are aligned with your mission is essential. No one makes it to the summit alone. Rely on your network: In moments of crisis, having a strong network to lean on can be the deciding factor. Like Samwen was for me, our professional networks are often the unsung heroes that guide us through challenges. Just as I was guided down Kilimanjaro safely, in business, relationships and communication propel us forward. Build your network, communicate openly, and don’t be afraid to rely on others when the climb gets steep. If you need help with any of the above I am happy to help with connections so just send me a DM. Together we are strong 🥰 #Teamwork #Communication #Leadership #Kilimanjaro #BusinessSuccess #Network #Trust
