Class Experience - This class meets once a week for 6 weeks. Please check the dates before enrolling. What is Public Speaking? When do we speak in public? I will talk about posture, hand gestures and eye contact with the audience in Public Speaking. What does the onlooker think when we do not make eye contact? What do we think when someone does not look us in the eye? A child's body language is important; the importance of a good posture will be discussed. The importance of open hand gestures will be explained along with eye contact with the audience. I will discuss my own fears and nervousness and how I got rid of them; how empowered and energized I felt when I spoke well in front of an audience. Each day, We shall discuss a different topic. The handout will be sent 24 hours in advance or soon after a class ends. As this is a multi-day class, the sessions will roughly follow the agenda listed here.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am atd (Association for Talent Development) designated Master Trainer. I have 33 years of teaching/Coaching/ Training experience across continents. Teaching/Coaching to me is about inspiring & delivering results that meet expectations.
I firmly believe that there is a leader in every child and my mission is to help them realize their potential.
The journey of Teaching/Training/Coaching began decades ago as an entrepreneur with a Communications & Culture training organization focused on Corporate training as well as one on one learning. Over the years, it evolved into a training company that provided niche and result oriented training programs across India with focus on Leadership, Presentation Skills, Communication Skills and Cross culture, as well as several behavioral training programs with some of the Global leading Corporates like Verizon Data Services, Dell, HSBC, Oracle, Progress Software and many more. I founded and spear-headed "Trainwell Consultants" for nearly a decade; hence, I feel I should share my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of future leaders and public speakers.
