Amelie Yan-Gouiffes, France

I would definitely hire Manoj again – he is both capable and easy to work with.

"Manoj Vasudevan worked for me on several different efforts. He has great leadership and communication skills to go with his project management expertise. In particular, his ability to speak in front of an audience is amazing…he can give a speech like few other people that I have ever met. I would definitely hire Manoj again – he is both capable and easy to work with."

Paul Rosner

Managing Director (T&E), PricewaterhouseCoopers, USA

You can’t believe how quick the time has gone

Manoj is an energetic, engaging and thought-provoking speaker who carried the audience (of around 3-400 people) throughout his speech. Don’t expect to sit quietly and doze off in one of Manoj’s speeches – he has the audience up and totally involved throughout and in the end, you can’t believe how quick the time has gone. I for one enjoyed the session very much and it was clear that the vast majority of the audience felt the same!

STEVE WALKER

Chief Information Officer, DHL

Every opportunity to meet Manoj on a personal basis is a chance to speak, listen and learn

Manoj is a fantastic friend, passionate on many topics which make him a well-rounded coach and speaker as well as a true inspiration for others. I have had the chance to work with him for a few years and he is always making time to listen and coach you to be better at whatever you want and maximize your real potential. Every opportunity to meet Manoj on a personal basis is a chance to speak, listen and learn. I can recommend Manoj if you require a coaching whether it is for business or speaking in public or if you simply need guidance to get the best out of you!

I didn't want it to come to an end

It was a wonderful experience and I really appreciate how you sincerely wanted to help us to improve.

Theory can be learned anywhere, from a book, from a lecturer, from Youtube, but practising the theory is a totally different story and this is the place where you can improve your skills and make yourself a better speaker. I enjoyed it very much and I didn't want it to come to an end

Yvonne Yee
