Akshat Shrivastava

For all my adolescence and early adult life, I was a very hesitant and reserved person. I couldn't stand in front of an audience, or communicate confidently and clearly. I was so under-confident that it made me feel insecure all the time. Random turn of events landed me in front of an audience when I was 19, and I began to learn. I read books, attended conferences, found mentors and never missed an opportunity to enhance my skills. Over next 10 years, I went on to speak to people around the world through various social, educational and corporate platforms. What was once my biggest weakness, I not only turned it into my biggest strength, but also made it my profession. In 2019, I won Toastmasters International Speech Contest from Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat (Division A, D98) and qualified as one of the top 11 speakers from 7 states of India. I have been awarded by various accolades including Effective Coaching Level-5, Presentation Mastery Level-5, Competent Communicator and Advanced Leader Bronze by Toastmasters International.In last 3 years, I've trained 10000+ people and coached some really interesting individuals - from CEOs in New York City to business leaders in middle east, to IT professionals in Canada, to startup founders in India. I am passionate about Personal growth, Leadership, Communication and Public Speaking. When I am not delivering training, these are the topics I love to write about.

With Kathryn's 25+ years of experience in media, we expertly guide leaders in compelling messaging and delivering with impact when in the media or speaking with any audience. We are 100% women-owned and WBENC-certified (the most widely recognized and respected national certification for women-owned businesses in the U.S.). We also just won the 2023 National Enterprising Woman Award for our work with non-profit organizations. Traditional media and public speaking coaching focus on the technicality of your message, simply identifying soundbites, how to bridge, where to pause, and what words to hit. At Kathryn Janicek Productions, we know it takes messaging and much more. Studies show we rely on far more than the spoken word, like body language and vocal tone, to understand someone's message. An audience is just as focused on non-verbal communication, if not more so. We emphasize all three communication methods because we know how crucial they are to gaining audiences' trust and making the biggest impact. That's why we take a holistic approach to training by focusing on a speaker's body language, vocal tone, and message. With our training, clients always get their return on investment in every media and public speaking opportunity. They also create a flywheel of positive opportunities to speak and become more visible. We also focus on the mindset and wellness of our spokespeople and executives by educating them so they feel and look their best. Believing you can deliver the best answers during a promotion interview, media interview, manage a team meeting, crush a keynote, webinar, or panel is key to a company's and its leaders' professional success. Confident and charismatic leaders add value to their businesses by showing employees, managers, and stakeholders that they believe in themselves and the mission of their role. We are also more likely to trust leaders who look like they can care for us and our business. Leaders communicate this best by taking good care of themselves.

After appearance, the voice is the first thing that gets noticed when people meet, or presentations are made. As a trained opera singer, I have honed the techniques that transform my clients presentations with voices and compelling delivery that get their messages across and showcase them in the best way possible. In my childhood I suppressed my voice capabilities. As an adult, I stepped fully into my voice. I realized the power of generously expressing myself and the impact that voice can have on others. I have worked for years to help my clients deliver their messages with resonance, strength, confidence, and vibrancy. I help presenters, business owners, and entrepreneurs transform and open their voices, project their speaking voice and have more impact.

As a result of working with me, clients transform their self-belief, they know how to speak up, their actual physical voice and presence is stronger so that they’re not just overlooked in a room, they know when and how to show up in a meeting, perform with poise and assurance in public presentations, and speak openly and authentically with their partner. I offer a variety of options for coaching, from 1:1 work, BreakThrough Sessions, or my group program. I also provide a complimentary Discovery Session, which is a consultation to help me learn more about your current situation, to determine how I can best serve you, and to discuss where you want to go in your personal and professional transformation. After we have discussed your current problem, and upon my decision to invite you into one of my coaching packages, we will work together in sessions to draw from your strengths, clarify actionable steps for solving problems, and create achievable outcomes.

Ultimately, you will gain the skills to continue your journey with success long after our collaboration.

STERESCU AMALIA

I strongly believe that a leader has a vison in front of him/her and a team behind him/her, we cannot speak about leadership without one or the other. It is precisely action that makes a leader credible. Vision without action is just a delusion or wishful thinking! A genuine leader manages through his power of personal example, boldly tackles new ways, challenges the status quo, takes risks, and innovates where others have not even dared to dream. What I have just mentioned are just a few of the leadership lessons that I acquired in the 25 years of experience as a senior leader in corporations with a global footprint or as an entrepreneur in education. I’ve trained as a leader at the school of first multinationals that were entering Eastern European market after 1990, year after year I added complexity to my management roles in areas such as customer service, sales support, tele sales, telemarketing. As an intrapreneur I participated in 11 internal start-ups, I developed from scratch support services centers in Romania, China or India and I ran a business of $2B USD as Vice President within Oracle EMEA Support.. On this journey I developed strategies for success, I grew up local and international teams of leaders and the transition to senior leadership evolved naturally. Today, as the leader of my own business I am continuously learning that leadership in entrepreneurship is like an exam I take every day for the satisfaction of my customers! I create, customize, and facilitate unique development programs for international teams of leaders in various industries! Over the past years I developed unique programs like Charismatic Leadership, Digital Leadership, First time as manager, Strategic Networking, Mindful leadership – in this way I give back what I acquired in my experience to a wide range of over 100 strategic customers from various industries. As Public Speaking Coach and Founder of Public Speaking School I have personally taught over 2500 professionals in public speaking (team training or 1:1 coaching). I have developed the Amalia Sterescu method of public speaking through programs like Mastering Public Speaking or Speak to Inspire. I extended the training programs to pupils/students, to prepare them to become better leaders and better communicators. Today Public Speaking School is a landmark in education when it comes to training in this field.
