What if I'm too nervous to speak in the workshop?
Some people need more time before they can be ready to speak impromptu or even to stand up in front of others and speak.
If you’re scared of the thought of attending these sessions because it’ll make you nervous, the best thing to do is to sign up for the Online Course and start going through the lessons – that should give you some confidence. Alternatively, you can discuss your anxiety on call with me before enrolling.

What if I'm unavailable on some of the days?
You can skip 1-3 workshops, depending on the course you’re in, and cover them in the next batch. The missed workshop will be similar but not necessary the exact same, and you must cover them in the subsequent batch. You must also inform us 4 days prior if you’re going to be unavailable.
Is there any preparation or homework to be done?
There’s no preparation needed. However, if you’ve signed up for the Online Course , then it’ll be great to go over some of the lessons in Module 3.
Do I need the 1-to-1 coaching sessions?
The 1-to-1 with Animesh is recommended if:
- You have a very strong nervous reaction when speaking in front of people
- Your content is much below the average, and you need a bit of handholding
- You have an urgent need. For e.g., a speech or a presentation or an interview that’s due very soon you need to do well in

If you’re confused, you can always discuss this with Animesh on call before enrolling!
