Mind Initiatives has joined forces with international PR professional and trainer Samantha Seewoosurrun to offer Presentation Skills Training to executives and management-level professionals on effective speech delivery and panel moderation.
The course, which is MQA-approved, will focus on building executive presence, crafting and delivering an effective speech to capture the audience’s interest and imagination, and facilitating panel discussions to foster a dynamic debate.
Explaining the rationale for the training, Samantha Seewoosurrun, who is Managing Director of the PR agency Perpetual Motion, commented:
“Public speaking is a skill, not an art, which can be learned and honed with practice. For executives, learning how to deliver a powerful speech or intervention that captivates the audience is a mark of professionalism that helps them to build their network and foster new business opportunities. It can boost the image of the company as well as the executive’s own personal brand.”
“In 2025, with the COVID years becoming an ever more distant memory, it is no longer enough to appear online with a prepared script without a physical audience. Executives are increasingly being called upon to make impactful speeches at home and abroad, whether opening a new office or taking part in an international conference,” she underlined.
“This is why I have joined forces with Mind Initiatives, led by Bhawana Maskey and Ravin Lama, who offer training to executives to help them to ‘shine on stage’, whether delivering a speech from a podium or managing a panel as a moderator,” she concluded.
Emphasising the importance of public speaking, Ravin Lama, Managing Director of Mind Initiatives, said:
“Public speaking is one of the most essential skills for business leaders and executives today. A well-delivered speech or an engaging panel discussion not only elevates personal credibility but also enhances a company’s reputation. In today’s competitive business world, the ability to communicate with impact can open doors to new opportunities and leadership roles.”
Commenting on the partnership and benefits of the training, Bhawana Maskey, Director, said:
“At Mind Initiatives, we are committed to equipping professionals with the tools they need to communicate with confidence, authenticity, and influence. By partnering with Samantha Seewoosurrun, who has extensive experience in the international PR and corporate world, we are bringing together a unique blend of skills to help executives become compelling speakers and expert panel moderators.”
“Participants of this training can expect hands-on coaching, expert insights, and real-world practice scenarios. The program is designed to boost confidence, improve stage presence, and refine the art of public speaking and moderation. Whether you are an executive addressing stakeholders or a professional looking to build a stronger personal brand, this course will provide you with the essential skills to engage and inspire any audience,” she summed up.
