"A couple of months after that training, I got invited to speak on TEDx, and that talk got over 5 million views"

I want to share my experience of the Speaking Academy with Eric Edmeades because it absolutely changed my life. A couple of months after that training, I got invited to speak on TEDx, and that talk got over 5 million views. It put my career single-handedly on the map. I ended up starting my dream passion company around transformational festivals in India, and that company just from speaking events alone generates over $250,000 every year. 

I don’t know if you get the context, but for someone who grew up in a middle-class family in India, getting to that stage wasn’t even a dream before I learned from Eric. I’ve been fortunate to connect with some of my greatest role models in the context of speaking, just because of the skills I learned from Eric. For example, I shared the story about the founder of Summit Series in ways that touched him, and Elliot, the founder, saw that story and invited me to his home to connect with him. That was one of the greatest mentorship relationships I’ve ever had. 

These kinds of things have happened to me over and over again, all because I learned to communicate effectively and meaningfully from Eric. So if you get an opportunity, jump in, and you’ll be grateful for the rest of your life.
