Akash was rated 9.2 on a scale of 10 by 100 of our senior team mates who attended his session in Malaysia. Perhaps- one of the best motivational speakers that Hewlett Packard ever engaged with. He has unbelievable amount of energy and humor through which he drives his points. Through extremely simple activities he makes a huge impact on people and their way of thinking, Akash Gautam was simply awesome.
Akash is not just an exceptional Motivational speaker but a magician too. He took us (Senior Mgmt of CIPLA) into an almost hypnotic state where we shed all our general notions of life & could feel & think like him. We came out, full of fresh energy, confidence & new perspective. I have hardly experienced such a real step-back moment before. Outstanding!!
Google was on Cloud 9 of learning, laughter & fun. The talk was brilliant. Thank you so much Akash. Great show ! Look fwd to more such talks.
We invited Akash for our All India Sales Team Award Function. Akash was brilliant, outstanding and connected with Sales team right from the start. Full of energy, humor & enthusiasm, he kept the sales team engaged throughout the session. All of us received lots of practical insights about Sales. My entire Sales team needed this only at this juncture. Perfect !
Akash makes you believe that even sky is not the limit. Saying that Akash Gautam did a splendid job at the Bisleri ‘All India Sales Conference 2015’ might be an understatement. The level of energy, positivism & knowledge that he brought along & inculcated in each one of us- is a learning we will keep for years to come. Kudos to Akash for igniting power & confidence in my team with his highly inspirational words. It was a pleasure to have him as a part of our conference.
One word for Akash-‘Exceptional’! His talk ‘Rise & Shine’ was the best that I have witnessed in Maruti Suzuki in my 27 years of career here. He just shook us out of our present belief systems into a newer world altogether. Unforgettable & life time experience.
“Goose-bumps! Nerve-wrecking intensity! We invited Akash to address our Sales & Service teams in Goa. Frankly, I was quite worried with his request for a long 120-minute Motivational Talk. But he spoke for more than 180 minutes and not for a single moment anyone of us wanted him to stop. When it comes to inspirational speakers, I have never seen one like him. What a guy! What an experience to hear him!. Escorts wants more & more of you Akash.”
Mr. Power Battery Backup. Akash -this is your new attribute. 180 minutes … no break from your side & all 400 people glued for 180 minutes… it’s a pure win win situation..Have interacted & partnered with many motivational speakers, but surely will rate you among the best speakers & trainers in India. Your connect with crowd, your energy level, the examples are so practical and real. When I spoke to the participants their feedback was simply WOW.
FGB invited Mr Akash Gautam to Dubai for his flagship session ‘Rise & Shine’ with its sales team (some 150+ participants). Akash not only just did- what the Bank wanted him to do but also exceeded our expectations. He fired our team with some very practical motivation & Sales fundamentals. His talk was amazingly powerful & gets talked about & remembered in the office corridors & cabins even months after.
Akash delivered thoughtful messages with so much impact that it will stick on to participants forever. What made Akash’s talk very unique however was the delivery. He created happy mood by using the language which most of us prefer in personal lives, blended with sumptuous dose of humor which kept the audience captivated. I can vouch that my colleagues and channel partners got motivated like never before. Thank you very much for inspiring us like this. Lifetime experience.
We invited Akash Gautam at our Annual partner colloquium at Macau. His ‘Rise & Shine’ session was simply fantabulous and mesmerised my entire team beyond my imagination. Talk was very inspiring, engaging and fun filled too. Thank you Akash for the good time. Keep Rocking with your magic spells !
We were glad to have Akash for Calm-Sutra; his unique Corporate talk on Stress Management at the HDFC ERGO Insurance Conclave 2012, Colombo, Sri Lanka. We truly appreciate your powerful presentation. It was not only insightful but also reflected our aim of knowledge sharing theme. Feedback from our clients has been excellent. Akash truly is one of the best Corporate Trainers in India.
Akash’s sterling session super motivated the entire bunch of 2500+ CAs & CA Students from 7 countries. His was the best session of our two days CA Students International Convention. I am glad we invited the best Motivational Speaker in India!
Akash came as a breath of fresh air, rejuvenating our minds through his unique insights. As students, we face daily the rigors of the academia & the co curricular.In this mélange of activities, there comes a time when we need to re evaluate of what is essential & let go of trivial pursuits that hog our time.. His talk propelled us to achieve greater heights in our lives while keeping one thought at the back our mind ”Motivation is within us”.
“Akash specifically designed the program for our line managers from various Corporate Functions who support us in driving key HR practices around engagement & learning. Our objective was to inspire our managers & help them unlock their leadership. Akash’s program was very very inspirational & innovative. Kudos to him for making it impactful with his epics, anecdotes, desi-ism, tolerable expletives & slangs. We hope to attend more of his programs.
“The entire session of Akash in our Annual Sales and Marketing Meet at Phuket, Thailand was entertaining and enlightening. Akash is a unique motivational speaker who can capture the audience with humorous talks which are equally insightful. He is a brilliant speaker who inspires the audience to learn how to be happy and successful in both personal and professional life.”
Akash Gautam’s three workshops for our senior & mid-level managers were super refreshening & pure gold. His Energy, sense of humour & specially his original content is what makes him different from a few other motivational speakers that Kantar has engaged. What a lovely time my team had with Akash. Thank you for all that you do.
Akash is exactly what an organization looks for in a Keynote Speaker. UPL loves him for many reasons especially his no fuss attitude, his hard-working ability to make his sessions totally customized & his understanding of people’s real issues. His sense of humour is his USP.
Everyone in my team loved ‘Rise & Shine’. Akash is unlike most other motivational speakers who are more of a theory. His stories, examples, humour & some very doable action points were a perfect serving for my team at Kochi Refinery. Thank you Akash.
Leading magazines & popular newspapers have repeatedly ranked Akash Gautam among the best motivational speakers in India. Top Rated. Other Motivational Speakers in India who feature in those lists included names as Deepak Chopra, Shiv Khera, Sandeep Maheshwari, Arunima Sinha, Gaur Gopal Das, Sister BK Shivani, Vivek Bindra, Anand Kumar, Major Gaurav Arya.
You would not want your organization to be run by someone who is even remotely disengaged or disinterested. It can cost you much more damage than just human resource cost!
Organizations that are as devoted to their employees as they expect employees to be towards them are THE places to work. COVID pandemic has forced millions of employees to work remotely. The deep need for bonding, synergizing energies / active engagement and pushing employee’s productivity is much higher now than ever before. Hence the real need for you to bring a very good Motivational Speaker to your people.
Every Motivational Speaker has a unique expertise & a liking towards a specific audience. For Akash his favourite audience is the mid-senior managements of the Corporate organizations. His corporate events have deep evolved over the last 20+ years & Akash’s exactitude in solving the specific problems of the industry is what makes him the most trusted Motivational Speaker in India for Corporate Events. World’s best marquee names trust Akash for their Annual Sales Conferences, Leadership Conferences, Keynote Addresses, Team Building Events, Dealer (Channel Partner) Meets, Sales Meets & Stress Management Trainings.
The typical Motivational speaker starter pack is to wear a nice suit, have a mic in front, make a nice presentation of quotes, tell ‘you can do it’ & voice modulate with quotes which rhyme.
In his popular blogs, Akash calls the above as audience’s dopamine addiction or epiphany addiction cycle. This cycle is hearing high energy, inspiring ideas, feel energized a bit without going on to achieve any real behaviour changes and then returning to the default of familiar comfort zones i.e., old ways of working. And then repeat all of above with another Motivational Speaker or self-help book.
Akash says and strongly believes that it is impossible to get better at anything without confronting it. But people don’t want the truth. People want the romance. They want the fantasy. The fantasy that they are “special”.
There’s a difference between making someone feel better vs useless gyaan vs what Akash does inside his Corporate Events. He drills into the audience’s minds – ‘incisive actionable insights using experiential tools and templates!’. His events have gone on to become a starting point for life long & self-sustained learning for scores of participants. Reason for this:- Akash’s events clearly delineate the difference between ‘Theory’ (Gyaan) & ‘Actionable Strategy’.
Akash believes that one can achieve anything when one understands Focus & Compounding (Patience). In this hyper distracted world, if you let FOCUS become your competitive advantage, everything will become easy for you. Akash describes that his own journey of becoming a motivational speaker has two parts. The first 10 years were spent doing small, sundry assignments (but with deep focus and strong belief in the power of compounding). What these first 10 years ensured was that the next 10 became very easy.
To youngsters who wish to make a mark in the field of Motivational Speaking and Corporate Training; Akash recommends that they start with one platform and absolutely become stellar in that (for Akash, it was Blogging). Laser focus on one first and then diversify later- is what wannabe motivational speakers need to implement.
No one has all the right answers. Just start doing and you will start seeing the answers coming your way. Version 1 is better than Version NONE (why you must start).
One needs to keep sharpening one’s skill with every speaking assignment that comes. Your first TALK could be bad, the hundredth can never be. Public Speaking, Sense of Humor, Spontaneity are skills which cannot be taught anywhere. Universities will ever stay expensive. Self-Learning will not only be cheap but easy too. Super Paying too.
There is a difference between you interested to become a motivational speaker versus you committed to become a motivational speaker. Basically, you need to keep on telling people for a lot many years that you are the right person to solve the exact problem.
The impact of Akash’s motivational events is much higher because he speaks in the language the attendees love most. You’ll find in his Events a treasure of stunning concepts that will set your productivity soaring. In 2021 too when the world’s businesses face restrictions because of Covid, the Indian Speaker Bureau rated Akash as the Best motivational speaker in India in the digital workshop i.e. Webinar / Virtual format.
The journey of starting as a no one to being counted among the Top Motivational Speakers in India has been a very enriching & humbling one. “As a student I used to dream of huge auditoriums, houseful audience, powerful mikes & then ‘Me’ extending myself onto all this. It took time but yes! my dreams came true. God has been very gracious. Now, ‘It is Thanks giving time’.” he says.
‘Making my audience Happy, Energetic & thence more successful is my IKIGAI‘, Akash says. As a Business Motivational Speaker, he further adds that basically, his Corporate Events are just, he having a conversation with himself & hoping that someone else will join in.
