Akash Gautam - Speaking Topics
Akash’s Keynote Events inject LASTING inspiration which just wouldn’t fade away easily. The content will keep getting talked about in your office corridors; months & years later too.
Akash as a motivational speaker, offers FIVE exclusive Corporate Events for your different needs :-
RISE & SHINE - ‘Rise & Shine’ is a ‘No Gyaan’ event which will give your very important people the practical way to break all their mental barriers. ‘How to’ and not just ‘What to’.
After all, one cannot drive high performing teams, with mindsets which are self-stuck.
Even the 50 year olds from your team will jump at the end of this power Event. My commitment.
Rise & Shine
" Rise & Shine" is Akash's FLAGSHIP, most sought out talk. 35+ of the NIFTY-50 Companies in India & world’s top organizations have trusted ‘Rise & Shine’ for getting lasting motivation drilled into the minds of their teams.
One common problem with most performing teams is that they unknowingly skid into their ‘Comfort Zone’ settings. Make no mistake about it that comfort is a drug. Once you get used to it, it gets more addicting. The comfort zone is where most dreams go & die. Rise & Shine will crumble away the untruth of this ‘comfort setting’ for your team.
Energies, Engagement at work & self-motivation levels will hit an all time high, at the end of ‘Rise & Shine’. Motivation that lasts and not the one which fades away quickly (because when the connect with the Vision is rightfully established, then people usually go on auto mode). Excellence in execution, happens easily then.
‘Rise & Shine’ is Akash's 22+ years of extensive research & experiences of a lot of people bundled into a powerhouse talk.
And the talk gets a standing ovation 99% of the times because it is:
Your overall occasion / conference should be a combination of Learning, Fun, Team Bonding, sharp business planning & some momentum for the coming months. Rise & Shine will 101% take care of the last part.
X-SELL
Climbing a Mt Everest is easy. But doing a Sales talk to people who have been selling for many years could get difficult. Reason- they already are performers & because of this they will have that semi-God type feeling. ‘I know it all’ about my industry & my region syndrome.
So, how and where does X-SELL fit in then?
The content of X-SELL gets sharpened more and more, with each Annual Sales Conference that Akash address (have spoken at 500+ such conferences across the world in last 22+ yrs). X-SELL now, has beautifully evolved to become a real kick-butt event.
X-SELL will not only demolish the existing erroneous work beliefs of your sales team but will also smarten them up with tested formulae & upcoming trends of selling
just an example- ‘Channel partners believe only in higher Margins’ is incorrect. They want better ROI is correct.
And this will happen only when sales folks establish better value of their products in the minds of channel partners. Of course, Channel Partners need to LIKE you first before LIKING your products. Hence, Rapport building becomes critical.
X-SELL goes far beyond the usual ‘You can do it, show enthusiasm etc.’ generalities & focusses instead on specific tweaks & tactics to elevate the caliber of your salesforce’.
X-SELL is just not a Sales Training. It is an extremely refreshing kickass Event that I specially designed for Sales Leaders to drill lasting inspiration & desired mutations into their Sales DNAs.
Because in the rigmaroles of deadlines & ever-increasing Sales targets – monotony & stress can easily replace the creativity & zest of your Sales Teams. Hence, a strong need to re-energize their lives & moods.
‘X-SELL’ -because ‘Super inspired sales teams have a higher chance to achieve Big Bang results for your organization’. This event is the engineering of breaking mental barriers when it comes to selling.
Top organizations trust ‘X-SELL’ especially for occasions as Sales & Strategy Meets, Dealers / Channel Partner meets, Annual Summits, Product launches, Season launches etc. ‘X-SELL’ has validated that lives, results, sales & motivations do change.
Combining latest researches on selling with humor & sarcasm; X-SELL lays out practical & logical ways to increment the results.
It is about ‘Selling it Smart & not doing it obtrusively hard’. X-SELL addresses the specific core concerns of Sales people & catapults their sales orientations for them to ‘Attract, Engage, and Challenge & Close’— in a much smarter way.
Role plays, Games, Psychometrics & audio-visual aids augment the achievement of the learning objective “Tell well to Sell Well”.
CALMSUTRA
CALMSUTRA is a magic session to relax the over-taxed in you. It will help you identify those stress triggers you didn’t even know existed, in your personal & work lives. It is all about those small changes one could bring about in one’s daily life which will take you from being: “Distressed to being De-stressed”.
CALMSUTRA delineates a well-researched, self-experimented & a v practical approach towards stress bursting. In this TALK; I will take the audience through a series of exercises, games and simple ideas for developing a stress-free & calm mind. Its practical approach will motivate you to be always ‘Dressed up’ instead of feeling ‘Stressed up’ when the stressors come.
The participants of CALMSUTRA will learn ‘How to practice MINDFULNESS technique‘. They will simply find in the technique; the key to staying fresh always in-spite of the rigors and pressures around. They after their daily sessions (15 mins max) will carry with themselves to their workplaces a portable peace (which is so necessary for a smart worker). The technique that i will be teaching is drawn from Vedas & is very similar to the classical, popular Buddhist meditation. This technique is MAGIC.
If not more; CALMSUTRA’s 4-5 practical takeaways will for sure convert your people’s daily empty fatigue into a gratifying exhaustion. As a Stress Management & Mindfulness Trainer & Speaker for 20+ years : this is a commitment.
Happii-Tude
Akash'smax search & research in 22+ yrs has been on Happiness. ‘How to become a Happy Guy’- is THIS session. Afterall, people who are Happy at heart have a higher probability of being more successful at Work. They are more productive, innovative and stick around more at their jobs. But ironically, today’s most successful & smart people are not happy.
This is where & why ‘Hapii-tude’ comes in. It took Akash two decades+ to construct ‘Happii-tude i.e. Happiness Blue-print’.
Akash's work all these years gave him an inestimable advantage that he could meet so many unhappy people and inner view them. Met very few genuinely happy people too. I figured out the principles, processes, insights, habits and personality traits which enable this tiny minority to become a genuinely happy guy. Also how can you and I can profit by studying these happiness outliers and reverse engineer their happy ways.
The final content of Happii-tude is as fundamental as the laws of Physics. Whether you believe in gravity or not it pulls you down. Ditto with what I figured out about ‘Becoming a Happy Guy’.
While people in corporates cannot change the content of their lives; they definitely can effect-change the context of their lives, after Happii-Tude.
Unfortunately, even the best offices today reek of blames, complaints, finger pointing, ego issues, perceptions & more similar termites. And when at the end of the day’s work, one carries this office fatigue home, even home & family members fail to fully attract one’s over distracted mind. Somehow, the way we are working is not working.
Happii-tude does a CT Scan of the entire process of Unhappiness for today’s kind of corporate work lives.
This ‘NO Yawn Event’ will shake your people out of their self-imposed limitations to go ahead and first create happiness in their own lives. Then, the science of happiness will enable them to pour their exceptional skills and talents more easily into the marketplace.
End result: over a period of time, you & your people end up building a happy workplace environment. This gets your people excited to come to work & this also grows in their hearts a love for learning. When this happens– they win, you win & I of course win.
