Masterclasses

Best selling author, award winning speaker, Master Facilitator

Immersive, experiential and participatory.

Yamini's masterclasses are not a talkfest- but an immersive, participatory and transformative learning experiences. Yes but what does that actually mean? Or look like?

For example in our Storytelling Masterclass participants share their first story within 20 minutes. All the way through the masterclass they  experience the power of storytelling, through sharing stories and listening to their peers’ stories. Not through being told storytelling is powerful! Yamini walks the talk and also get you to walk the talk. 

Cognitive Load and Learning impacts. All the masterclasses are designed and calibrated for the most effective learning. 

There is a minimal use of bespoke power-points, along with live drawing, graphics and analogue tools like flip-charts (with zoom camera functionality for online sessions). Every tool has been handpicked to maximise learner engagement.

Science, not snake oil.

Our sessions are  based on leading edge research. This combined with behavioural and cognitive learning theories means our sessions deliver results! 

Are we having fun yet?

 The sessions are fun. You are both laughing* and learning. This is not an empty promise but a guarantee or your money back! (*Lifetime guarantee, more than one laugh per person, unlimited stock).

Practical and world-class.

 Yamini has been specialising in storytelling (yes just storytelling) for 15 years. All sessions are based in deep IP developed in the field globally working with leaders from companies like Google, Adidas and Tiffany & Co.

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!
Allison Rossiter, Managing Director Roche Diagnostics Australia
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
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.
Don Sillar, Head of Sales, ANZ Private
I’ve yet to meet a person who hasn’t called themselves ‘Yamini’s #1 fan’ after seeing her speak. She is breathtaking in every way. Authentic and professional, hilarious and insightful, big on inspiration but even bigger on practical value. Audiences don’t just learn a few things or feel good for a few hours after seeing Yamini on stage. They find the courage and clarity to make immediate changes in their work, life and relationships, resulting in a tsunami of positive impact in their careers, families, organisations and communities. If you want a speaker who doesn’t just nail the brief, but leaves your audience enthralled, pick up the phone and call her agent ASAP!
