My team and I had learned a lot from Anjali’s session. The workshop has opened our eyes into the new world of creating the compelling story. We learned how to weave in an emotional connection, business narrative, purpose and value into a powerful story. Anjali offered tailored suggestions to participants. Her guidance came from years of experience. We are advocates for our customers and community. We are more equipped now in leveraging theses insights to create compelling stories to stand for ourselves as leaders, stand for our teams as customer advocates and stand for our communities.

I have known Anjali for the last 6 years when we first connected through work she did in Singapore with a group of women leaders who were preparing for an engagement with their CEO. Inspired by her work, I engaged with her to help me lead a business transformation during my time in Japan. During this time, she and I partnered on what became one of the most challenging, rewarding and successful initiatives I have ever worked on. Together, we turned a struggling business around to deliver world-class results by focusing on storytelling to build a culture that was grounded in the foundation of diversity and inclusion. This engagement not only transformed the business, it was a period of intense growth and transformation for me and I continue to be indebted to Anjali for the experience.

As the founding curator of TEDxSingapore, my team and I coach our TEDx speakers ahead of their talks. In 2015, we met Anjali and invited her to be our storytelling coach. Anjali has the X factor and her passion for storytelling is infectuous.

In the past, I concentrated on facts and instructions brought forth by my slides, and can frequently see the disinterested faces in the audience. Earlier this year, I focused on using a failure story and a success story format to deliver the content, rather than too many slides or info overload. I could see emotions in people’s faces and I felt that we’ve connected. In fact, there was applause at the end of it for the first time. I now hope my message translates into the culture change we advocate in CGH, and more lives saved.

I came across Anjali's impactful work through her storytelling video series on LinkedIn. It immediately provided so much value to me as both a marketing professional and a member on LinkedIn. Based on this, I invited her to speak at one of LinkedIn's large virtual conferences in early 2020. Her session on "Motivating the workforce through the power of storytelling" was ranked as one of the top 3 sessions appealing to our audience not only in Asia but around the world. Anjali has this unique ability of connecting to her audience instantly ! Her public speaking and communication skills are top notch and she takes it to the next level with an ability to inspire her audience to bring about a change. I would highly recommend her as a speaker and storytelling coach. It has been a pleasure to associate with her.
