Welcome to the next episode of Stammer Stories! In this episode, I am joined by Shil Shanghavi! We discuss Shil’s stammer and what it was like growing up, we also discuss his job as a public speaker. Here is a bit more about Shil.
Shil is a public speaking specialist, storyteller and a highly regarded speaker coach.
What makes Shil's achievements remarkable is his lifelong battle with a severe speech impediment and the enormous drain it has had on his career, relationships and mental health. He decided to tackle these challenges by pursuing a career which most people would avoid - public speaking.
Shil is the Head of Speaker Coaching for TEDxPerth, Board member for Guerrilla Establishment, a presentation mentor with Impact100 WA, a public speaking expert for Modern People and a Public Speaking industry expert for WA Leaders. He is a pioneer in his field having introduced the concept of public speaking in virtual reality, which is unique to Perth, and rare to the world. It's just one of the groundbreaking concepts Shil has developed to disrupt the speaking game.
In 2021, SHIL, an award-winning short film documentary of Shil's life story was released globally. The documentary is an intimate, behind the scenes look at Shil's story documenting his public speaking journey.
