"Failure to communicate effectively in business is a fast road to failure. It means startups won't get funded, products won't get sold, projects won't get backing, and careers won't soar. Don't sabotage your potential because you can't communicate your ideas." - Carmine Gallo, 'Talk Like Ted' |

One of my biggest passions is helping people better communicate
their message through powerful and proven techniques. |
"Uptin led the 'Power your Pitch' workshop for the Draper Entrepreneur Network (DEN), a global community of movers and shakers.
Many of the startups in the workshop had business ideas they were actively pitching to their stakeholders.
The workshop helped them identify key messaging techniques that they could use to bolster their pitch.
It also gave them the tools to increase their self confidence and build a connection with their audience."
-Vikram Bharati, Draper Entrepreneur Network Founder
"I've had the pleasure of taking Uptin's 3-day in-person workshop and working with him privately online for 6 months.
As an entrepreneur, being able to confidently and clearly communicate your story, content, and offers is crucial. With Uptin's support, my storytelling, speaking skills, and confidence have skyrocketed. Being able to receive and implement his direct feedback was invaluable.
After working with Uptin, my podcast downloads have soared and my business has doubled.
If you want to level up in your business, I highly recommend working with Uptin."
-Kim Khunaraksa, Founder of Mind Your Vibe™

I'm clear on my message and I know exactly how to get the results that I want."
