Want to feel more confident in talking to people and to an audience?
What is Chalk Talks?
Confidence, communication, and soft skills mentoring program for working professionals and college students.
Get empowered with the power of interpersonal communication and soft skills that will help you speak confidently amongst colleagues, in meetings, during presentations, and also to your boss (no kidding!)
Land your dream job with complete interview support. We’ll help you break the barriers in your mind that keep you from shining.
Our Process
We conduct one-on-one personalised interactive mentoring sessions.
We first understand what is holding you back. Then we address those roadblocks through 10-12 practice-based learning sessions.
The learning sessions are not templatized. Rather, they are personalized to suit each individual.
At the end of these sessions, you will be more confident. You will become better at interpersonal communication. You will sail smoothly through your next presentation, group discussion, interview, or stage performance.
Our Vision
Be.
Chalk Talks should help individuals accept themselves. Help them become comfortable with their own being. Help them understand their already existing vast expanse of potential. Guide them to uncover their strengths and weaknesses.
More.
Further, facilitate the journey of self-discovery where they can find out what more they can do. Help them grow their strengths into their warrior and convert their weaknesses into their allies. Become confident, creative, and spontaneous.
You.
Help them transform into the best version of themselves. Help them in structuring their thoughts, and expressing with clarity. Nurture their interpersonal relationships by guiding them to become excellent at speaking their minds.
Our Story
Chalk Talks ideated when Nimisha was interviewing candidates for a job. She interacted with many freshers as well as experienced candidates who had the zeal to work but lacked the confidence which was a major skill-set required for the job.
After talking to a bunch of them, she realised that the one major difference between them and the ones shortlisted was that the formers didn’t get the opportunity to learn these skills. Upon research, she found out that in India there are millions of students graduating every year but hardly 20% of them are employable. The main reason for this unemployability is the existing skill gap – a major chunk of which is the gap in soft skills.
Chalk Talks is the outcome of Nimisha’s love for public speaking combined with her experience in transforming from an engineering graduate to a marketing professional in 7 years.
Reminiscing her school days, Nimisha says that she used to be a timid speaker. She was afraid to speak her mind and was extremely nervous on stage. She still considers herself only 60% there. However, by just 60% of becoming who she could be, she has seen tremendous growth in her career and has also become more content in her personal relationships.
Like any other skill, confidence and communication is a skill that can be learned and sharpened.
Nimisha strongly believes that communication cannot be learned through attending one time workshops and listening to lectures. The only way to become a better communicator is by practicing it.
Also, every person has a unique style of speaking. One must focus on up-skilling their own style; therefore every person needs a different kind of coaching. A cookie-cutter approach cannot work. Therefore, the mentoring sessions, led by Nimisha herself, are customized and personalized to each person.
It is her vision to make individuals more comfortable with who they are, to lead them to discover their hidden talents, and to make them believe in themselves by making them more confident and better speakers.
Let no one be left behind because they didn’t have the opportunity to learn and to unleash their true potential.
