RECOMMENDATIONS

Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50 #1 Leadership Thinker in the World. The author of the

#1 New York Times bestseller – Triggers & What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

“Learn to be a great leader with Manoj Vasudevan’s The Mousetrap Way. The Mousetrap Way will teach you what it is to be a great leader and how to get there!”

Paul Rosner, Managing Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers

“Manoj Vasudevan worked for me on several different efforts. He has great leadership and communication skills to go with his consulting and project management expertise. In particular, his

ability to speak in front of an audience is amazing…he can give a speech like few other people that I have ever met. I would definitely hire Manoj again – he is both capable and easy to work with.”

Kosala Hewamadduma, Sri Lanka, Brand Director, Unilever Asia

“Manoj is a great speaker, mentor and motivator. He has an innate ability to deliver any complex

topic in simple manner.”

Steve Walker, United Kingdom, CIO, DHL

I was in Manoj’s presentation at the Singapore Project Management Institute Symposium in Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on 26th March. He is an energetic, engaging and thought provoking

speaker who carried the audience (of around 3-400 people) throughout his speech. Don’t expect to sit quietly

and doze off in one of Manoj’s speeches – he has the audience up and totally involved throughout and

at the end you can’t believe how quick the time has gone. I for one enjoyed the session very much and it

was clear that the vast majority of the audience felt the same!

Julia Gough, General Manager, JTI “I was absolutely inspired when I heard Manoj speaking on

the BBC one morning after having won the World Championship of Public Speaking. His message – the importance of the 5 skills of Connect, Communicate, Network, Lead & Influence -resonated

so well that I asked my HR Team to reach out to him to see if we could invite him to speak at one of our future company events. We then invited Manoj and his team to join our next Townhall event. We had one important message from our side which was the importance of having a “Speak-up” culture in order to drive organizational change and business success. Manoj grasped the brief and delivered an engaging and entertaining afternoon session where he focused on this message and other important leadership lessons from his Mousetrap book. It was a creative and thought-provoking introduction and we will revisit many of these ideas as we move forward on this journey” Aimee Barnes, Founder of Tangram Lab

“Manoj is currently mentoring me in public speaking and came highly recommended. He is an outstanding orator, humorist and storyteller who employs many unique approaches to keep audiences engaged. Above all, he is a true leader who goes above and beyond to help others grow and succeed. I look forward to learning more from the best of the best!“

Todd Hutchison, Global Chairman, Peopleistic

Manoj Vasudevan presented an outstanding closing keynote at the 2016 Corporate Counsel Forum hosted by The American Lawyer and Legal Week is a world class speaker who charms with his wisdom, experience, stories and innate humour. I also found him easy to work with. I

would highly recommend Manoj as a keynote speaker for your event. Fredrik Härén (Author of top 50 business book of all time)

“As a professional speaker who has spoken in more than 50 countries I constantly need to improve and I need expert advice on how to become even better as a speaker. Manoj has a natural gift of seeing how you can improve as a speaker. I have asked him to review several of my speeches and have found it very valuable every time. He has made me a better speaker. He will make you a better speaker too.“ David Alonso, Director, Accenture, Australia

I have had the chance to work with him for a few years and he is always making time to listen and coach you to be better at whatever you want and maximize your real potential. Every opportunity to meet Manoj on a personal basis is a chance to speak, listen and learn. I can recommend Manoj if you require a coaching whether it is for business or speaking in public or if you simply need guidance to get the best out of you!”
