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
One of the greatest enduring skills of leaders is their ability to convey messages and learnings through Storytelling. It has been with us for centuries and will remain for many centuries to come. Yamini is to storytelling as apple is to pie. They go together in a natural way. The ability to convey messages through stories, with humour and feeling makes them memorable. Yamini makes us all better story- tellers and therefore leaders.

Peter Baines OAM, Founder, Hands Across Water
Yamini's ability to help leaders unlock the power of storytelling in a fun and authentic way is inspiring, insightful and transformative.

Edweena Stratton, Chief People Officer, Culture Amp
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.

Toni Brearley, Chief Executive Officer, Australasian Society of Association Executives
Yamini took our team through a high energy set that had everyone fully engaged from start to finish. Through practical examples and workshopping, we experienced the power of business storytelling, with a combination of both tears and belly laughs as staff shared their stories across the team. An incredible learning experience and one we would highly recommend for capability development and commercial impact.

Bridie Swatton Née Cowell, Innovation Director at Bega Cheese Limited.
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.
