She brings her career growth experience that saw her progress from an onsite engineer to becoming head of department that worked with CXO level in the organisations worked. These organisations included the top multinationals in the telecom industry and required extensive travel in Asia & Europe.

Soon after arriving in Australia, she realized, that her experience needed to be made Australia friendly. In order to achieve this transition, she completed her project management certification (PMI), and started working part time as a Project Coordinator. She took her ambitions to the next level by graduating with an MBA from the Curtin Graduate School of Business.

Her personal journey and rich experience in moving into a vastly different cultural environment, has guided her decision to pursue her passion for public speaking.

This passion together with her two decades of experience, has driven her to develop a story that motivates and helps empower individuals Individuals who feel like the world passes them by.

Her story particularly helps Individuals from Culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD). It helps them improve their self-esteem and gives them confidence to engage with life.

Within the first of starting her business, she has worked on projects with organisations such Curtin University, Befriend, Bilingual Families Perth, Dressed for Success, and Ishar (A multicultural women health organisation).

All this passion, experience and insight are brought to life through her presentation” Presenting Confidently at work. Embrace your culture : fast track your career – the importance of mental health and raising confident, resilient multi-lingual children”.

Currently working on her book titled The complete guide to Story-Telling- for non-native English speakers, she is also a presenter and speaker with the renowned TEDx Speaker circuit.

 

Confident Speakers Academy is the brain child of Rashmi Watel.

It was founded in July 2020, while the whole world was going through the COVID Pandemic, Rashmi was going through her own turmoil. She has defied the society norms, in almost all the phases of her life.

She loved being a mother, however she missed her working life. She wanted to go out , work, feel accomplished , however the catch was that she also wanted to be with her daughters.

She wanted to be an active parent, she wanted to volunteer at their school, she wanted to participate in their school assemblies, she wanted to pick & drop them up from school.

After struggling for nearly two years, she with the help of her amazing business coach came up with the idea of becoming a Public Speaking Coach.

Rashmi has always been a Confident Speaker, however, she  never thought of speaking and coaching others to become confident speakers as a a career.

That is when Confident Speakers Academy was born  to help non-native English Speakers become better communicators.

I am an introvert , introverts dont like being in the front of the room , Is'nt ?

They do not like the limelight, they do not want the attention
I hear you, however what if I told you that introverts make great presenters. Some famous examples are Mr. Mahatma Gandhi, Mr. Winston Churchill, Mr. Barack Obama & Lady Gaga

 

Yes, I am not an introvert myself. I have always felt confident within myself. I have never had issues with public speaking, however the important thing here is just like any other skill, Public speaking can be learnt and I am here to help.

Meet Sameera

Sameera has always been told, public speaking is not for everyone and "she" is definitely not good at it.

She used to continuously think about what people are going to think about she when  talks  or present ?

She used to feel scared that  people will judge her when she shares her story ?

She always used to worry about forgetting her lines, freezing and used to  start trembling just at the thought of being in front of the room ?

And then she looks at a co-worker of hers and she is always

  • Super confident
  • Never forgets her lines
  • Engages the audience
  • Always gets compliments on her communication skills

Let me tell you, Sameera's colleague could actually be an introvert, and would have learnt public speaking or she could be naturally confident.

It does not matter as she is not you. Whether you are an EXTROVERT OR INTROVERT you can actually learn to be great at public speaking
