## About Public Speaking Engagements

### Why I Speak

I’m not here to give gyaan (advice) or bore you with endless slides. For me, public speaking is about making real connections and helping you show up as your best self. I believe your image is more than just clothes - it’s how you carry yourself, how you talk, and how you make people feel. My sessions are all about helping you impress, impact, and influence, without losing your own vibe.

### What I Talk About

I always tweak my talks for the crowd, but these are my go-to topics:
- Personal branding for professionals - how to stand out without shouting
- The ABCDs of image: Appearance, Behaviour, Communication, and Digital Presence
- Indian power dressing for women - trust me, it’s a game changer
- Confidence building workshops that actually work (not just pep talks)
- Assertive communication skills - saying ‘No’ without feeling guilty
- Networking and making real connections, not just exchanging business cards

### How I Work

I do both online and offline events. You’ll find me at:
- Conferences as a corporate keynote speaker
- Interactive workshops for teams
- Panel discussions and public events
- Hosting gigs if you want something lively

### Who I Connect With

My sessions click best with:
- Corporate teams and leaders
- Startup founders and entrepreneurs
- Women professionals who want to own their space
- Doctors, CEOs, and anyone keen on building their image

### My Story

I started out clueless, faced a ton of rejection, and learned the hard way. Now, after 15 years, I’m here to help you find your confident side. Style isn’t just about looking good - it’s about feeling like a boss (with a bit of swag). If you’re ready to level up, let’s do this.

## Meet your expert

[Shilpa Belavadi](https://mytribe.in/shilpabelavadi_imageconsultant)

### My story

We started Indyvarna because, honestly, we’ve been there - standing clueless in front of the wardrobe before that big meeting, wishing we looked the part. Fifteen years of hits, misses, and awkward outfits later, we found image consulting and never looked back. Now, it’s not just about clothes for us. It’s about helping women find that spark of confidence, so you walk in and own your space, no matter what.

### My work

- **What we do**: 1:1 and group image consulting, personal branding, soft skills, and dress to impress workshops for women.
- **ABCDE of Image Management**: We look at everything - appearance, behaviour, communication, your online vibe, and your inner confidence.
- **Who we work with**: Driven women - CEOs, doctors, entrepreneurs, anyone wanting to be a boss lady with real style.
- **Our approach**: We blend Indian power dressing with practical coaching, so you look sharp but still feel like yourself.
