My Story
From Engineer to Public Speaking Coach - I’ve had a phenomenal journey!
When I was 22, I realized that the only thing I really enjoyed was - being on stage and speaking to people. I had joined a speaking community and I used to practice speaking 3-4 times a week in front of a sophisticated audience.
While exploring my Public Speaking skills for over 7+ years consistently, I got a chance to speak to people around the world through various corporate, educational and social platforms.
In 2019, I won Toastmasters International Speech Contest from Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat (Division A, D98) and qualified as one of the top 11 speakers from 7 states of India. Later, I also earned the 'Distinguished Toastmaster' award, which is the highest educational recognition by Toastmasters International.
After speaking on stage 500+ times in 10 years, I realized that I was ready to help people become Confident & Impactful speakers.
So, in 2020, I decided to risk it all to begin my career as a Public Speaking Coach.
In the last 3.5 years, I’ve trained 15,000+ professionals on Communication and Public Speaking. I’ve also been fortunate to coach some fantastic individuals - CEOs, VPs, Entrepreneurs, Senior Managers & Coaches from India, USA, Canada, Middle-East & Australia.
If you are someone struggling with Public Speaking, I can help you Conquer The Stage in less than 90 days!
Here is what Avinash, a Product Head from USA has to say about our sessions -
“Akshat is a wonderful communication coach with immense knowledge. He builds trust very quickly and is very easy to work with. I could experience that in my own coaching sessions where I started feeling comfortable, confident in the first session itself. This prompted me to talk to him regarding the specific issues I was facing.
He worked to understand my needs and tailored the program to focus on specific problems I was facing. He is an expert in communication in general and has solid teaching methods which focus on practical skills with hands-on experience.
Overall, I enormously benefited by getting coached by Akshat and would recommend others who face communication issues also to do the same.”
