TESTIMONIALS FROM PRESENTATION COACHING CLIENTS
“I had a great 1:1 session with Akash. He was able to bring more clarity to my speech and delivery. He was also able to help me get rid of the fillers I kept using.”
“Anand was very helpful and gave constructive suggestions to help prepare for a rehearsal dinner toast. Would definitely use him again..”
“I initially came to Akash expecting a life coach, and while he was not able to do that I was very happy with the books he recommended to me. Other than that, I am very pleased with how my public speaking has improved. I think I can probably give presentations on VERY short notice now and my hand gestures are very fluid. Highly recommend Akash to everyone, looking forward to working with him again.”
“Akash was super professional throughout our interactions, and I am very happy with the services I got from him. Initially, we thought our teenager might never be able to get out of his comfort zone, but after working with Akash he is far more willing to present in class, and has even joined the debate team! ”
