Bespoke Projects

Bigger Than a Workshop

Not every communication challenge can be solved with a one-off workshop. Sometimes you need something more tailored and more transformational.

Sometimes a keynote or masterclass is exactly what’s needed.

And sometimes, it’s bigger than that.

Sometimes you want to lift the communication skills of an entire leadership team. Sometimes you’re preparing senior leaders for a roadshow, a strategy rollout or a series of high-stakes presentations. Sometimes you want your people to sound sharper, more human, more memorable and far less like they swallowed a corporate handbook.

That’s where bespoke projects come in.

I’m often invited in to design and deliver tailored programs that meet the moment. It might be an intensive week. It might run over a month. Sometimes it unfolds over three to six months, giving people the chance to learn, practise, refine and actually change the way they communicate.

These programs are built around what your team most needs. That could include storytelling, presentation skills, humour, stagecraft, executive presence and what I call X Factor: the magic that makes a message land and last.

We can combine my keynotes, workshops, coaching and feedback processes in a way that works for your people, your message and your deadline.

In other words, there are many ways to slice this. But the goal is always the same: to help your team communicate with more clarity, conviction and heart.

If you’re looking for something tailored, strategic and a little bit special, please get in touch.

BOOK YAMINI NOW
We brought in Yamini Naidu into AHI because we thought we could build storytelling skill... although for many of us, to be truthful, we didn’t quite believe we had the ability. In less than 2.5 hours, Yamini convinced us otherwise. She helped us take a nar rative of nearly nothingness and help us make it extraordinary. She showed us the beauty of a good story and the science that drives it. It is a skill that will now sit with all of our participants forever... it will help us in our work, it will help us commu- nicate with our colleagues...and it will help me get my teenage children to clean their room. With great thanks, Yamini.

We recently used Yamini for our premier client event, where she toured Australia’s capital cities presenting to hundreds of our clients. Yamini has a compelling story to tell and one that resonated extremely well with our business clients. Yamini’s style is highly engaging and in many ways enchanting, as she shares the secret power of storytelling through practical examples. I would highly recommend Yamini to anyone thinking about how to create greater engagement with their clients or employees.

Yamini spoke at our 2019 conference in June and the feedback overwhelmingly indicated that Yamini should have been a keynote! To address this, we invited her on our August lunch roadshow around Australia and had our biggest numbers in all locations. Yamini’s engaging and humorous style made her stories memorable, complimented by her warm and friendly nature. Her session on storytelling, with examples woven throughout, helped association professionals realise the potential stories can have including demonstrating the value of being a member.

Our Executive Team at Dental Health Services Victoria had the privilege of a Story Telling Masterclass with the amazing Yamini Naidu. The team came away inspired and able to tell their stories in their own voice. We have been putting our new skill to good use to help join the dots for our teams and create authentic connections. The team rated it the best workshop they have done in decades. Thanks, Yamini.

Yamini transforms the mundane to the inspiring.

Grant Kelley, Chief Executive Officer, Vicinity Centres Limited
Yamini attended our all-company meeting and showed us not only the importance but also the impact of storytelling. She engaged the whole group from start to finish. She did it in such a wonderful way that had us all thinking hard about how we could tell our own stories; after all, we all have an interesting story to tell!
