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 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.
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
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 truly captured people's hearts and minds.
Olivia Ruello, CEO, Business Chicks
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!
