About Vivek Bedi

Executive, Public Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur, and Storyteller

Storytelling has played a critical role in my career. An engineer by education, I was not a great storyteller at all when I started my career. It was not something I was taught nor did I pay much attention to. In fact, I failed it at so many times in many critical moments. I realized I needed a change and became obsessed with the art of storytelling.

Over the years, after countless practice I have gained the confidence to be a storyteller. Performing keynote talks in front of thousands, pitching decks to board members, and selling products to customers was not something I thought I would ever be able to do. Until I mastered storytelling.

Join me as I share all I have learned with you in this course so you do can master storytelling. I am so excited to hear your story.
