Pramoda Vyasarao
The demon that you can swallow gives you its power.
When I started my career as a junior engineer in 2002, two demons haunted me - insecurity and inability to communicate well.
I joined a Toastmasters club in 2003 to improve my speaking skills. By 2005, I swallowed the two demons and experienced the power of self-expression, influence, and authentic communication.
Since 2008, I've operated in organizational leadership roles in engineering at Oracle India and Oracle America. I was an internal coach and facilitator at Oracle.
In 2021, I joined Meta as an organization leader to experience working in a high-performance product environment.
Since February 2023, as the Founder and Coach of Changesmith Coaching - I'm excited to help tech professionals land behavioral changes in life and leadership.
What students are saying
Excellent course. I highly recommend anyone who is out there making slides and need to know where and how to start can extremely benefit from this offering.

I joined this course out of curiosity after some prodding from a friend. I quickly found myself challenged to rethink the old idea that story-tellers are naturally good at it, and was forced to practice and improve my own story-telling using a few helpful frameworks. Some of these ideas have helped me and a coworker pitch and get approval for a new idea at work using a memorable story that highlights our customers.

I chose to enroll in this course to refine my narrative skills, aiming to elevate my presentations to stakeholders. My journey of self-improvement involved exploring books and various YouTube tutorials, which, while informative, didn't quite address my needs fully. Pramoda's course stood out due to its rich content and the array of frameworks tailored for different scenarios. It offered an engaging, workshop-like environment that fostered idea exchanges with peers across various specialties. I'm enthusiastic about applying these new insights. With a newfound confidence, I look forward to crafting stories that not only inspire change but also leave a lasting impression on my audience.
