Ravi Rajani is Not Speechless.Quite the opposite, he has a lot to say.However, unlike many people who have a lot to say, Ravi can support his rhetoric with experience.Our discussion was one of the most enjoyable and natural conversations because he has mastered the art of listening as well as speaking.So rare, so important for his craft.Ravi worked in banking and travel for large companies and start ups. He learned and retained every lesson along the way.He realized he should be helping others design and deliver content on stage and virtually.This is not your usual coaching and consulting company - this is next level.Ravi also has a background in theater and uses expression and story telling in a way that few people in his industry can pull off.Ravi could deliver a killer talk with an iPhone on a subway. Anyone watching in the car with him will be moved, literally, tears will be shed, laughter right after. Even more powerful, those watching the video will have the same response. Key Takeaways for Leaders and Entrepreneurs:To sell a product, raise funds or impact an audience, you need to establish a villain, then the antagonist or the hero as your product or service.Metaphors are powerful for technical presentations. The more complex the tech, the more powerful the metaphor. "Imagine this box is a football stadium full of water..."Less is more. Deliver a powerful and impactful message concisely and leave them begging for more. Most people will not remember what you said, but they will remember YOU and HOW you said it.Ravi's Eating Crow Moments:A don't try this at home experience at university when his team didn't come together on a project, so they improvised.Be aware of "commission breath".
