TESTIMONIALS
“Sumedha was our orals coach and she gave me specific suggestions and practiced key focus areas that helped me improve my skills. I’ve had many presentation classes and coaches but Sumedha by far was the most helpful and fun to work with. Thank you!”

“Sumedha recently worked with our team for an oral presentation and provided an invaluable experience. She coached the team on multiple levels to get us prepared to deliver an excellent oral presentation. Her patience, ability to work with each individual to ensure they are delivering the right message in the right tone, her quick grasp of the technical matter to handle and deliver the message succinctly and her overall guidance and coaching make her an exceptional and valuable asset for any team. ”

“Well planned 1 hour session with didactic and role play. I took away the PREP model of public speaking which I can use in my daily conversation at work and home. I am so glad that I was able to attend the session. Thank you for all what you do."

“Sumedha's positive energy and humor simply glow. She knows how to take a timid audience and have them eating out of the palms of her hands by the time her talk is over. Thank you, Sumedha, for boosting our confidence and giving us practical tips for public speaking. We are so grateful!”

“Ms. Bahri privately coached me for upcoming job interviews. She very quickly identified exactly what I needed to work on and provided a personalized plan to make sure it happened. After that session, I was called back for EVERY interview and obtained the role of CRO (Chief Revenue Officer) at a corporation. Highly recommend!”

After meeting Sumedha, in a public speaking workshop for children, she immediately stood out by her passion for what she does and her great sense of humor. Few months later, when I was preparing a work workshop for some of my colleagues I contacted Sumedha. She and the Highest Speak’s team conducted a very effective, virtual 2-hour public speaking workshop for a group of women in finance for a multilateral organization. The workshop was very informative and engaging. In addition to covering public speaking tips, she personalized the workshop to cover public speaking and communication situations specific to women in finance. Further, the workshop was very interactive, as the instructors had each participant practice their speaking skills in smaller groups and gave very useful feedback to each participant. I highly recommend Highest Speak for public speaking workshops!

The StudyPro Study Skills Center was thrilled to partner with Sumedha and Higher Speak. Sumedha's high-energy workshop on "Becoming a Public Speaking Pro" was both useful and engaging. Both parents and students alike walked away with tips on how to reduce their anxiety and boost their effectiveness when speaking to friends, colleagues or a crowd. Because we are all “public speakers” this workshop is essential for everyone. Thank you, Sumedha!

Sumedha Bahri is a one-of-a-kind gem when it comes to coaching for public speaking. She can turn the most reluctant speaker of any age into an excellent, persuasive orator. The students we have sent her way ask for her over and over again as they become more comfortable and effective in their public speaking abilities. She often comes onto my webinars and talks about various subjects. Every time she does this, I marvel at how natural and convincing she is with whatever she says. I wish I could move a crowd as much as she does when speaking! I learn from her every time I hear her present. I cannot recommend her enough as a public speaking coach.

“Excellent!! You covered so much ground in such a short timeframe. And the advice you gave will surely transform what we think about, how we prepare for, and the manner in which we present to groups in the future — LIKE - 3 second rule. You totally empowered us as women too. Reminded us to be the confident voice in the front of the room…not the shrinking violet in the back. Just amazing advice!!”
