Case Study
Ajay: Slowing Down So the Message Lands
Ajay is a commercial sales manager who came to LSW facing a stream of interviews and presentations. He knew he spoke quickly, and he’d started to suspect it was costing him the very thing he most needed: to be heard.
The Challenge
Ajay was preparing for a run of interviews and presentations when he came to LSW, and he already had a sense of what was holding him back. “I was aware that I tend to speak very quickly.” The consequence was one he’d learned to recognise after the fact. “I would talk to groups only to later find out that what I had said hadn’t been heard.” The words were leaving him, but they weren’t arriving.
I would talk to groups only to later find out that what I had said hadn't been heard.
The Solution
Ajay found LSW on Google, and the professionalism of the website gave him early confidence. He valued the offer of a taster session too, a gentle way in when you don’t quite know what to expect. “I like that they offer you a taster session, especially as you don’t know what to expect at first.”
Working with his coach, Gilly, he found his footing, and recently bought a further ten sessions to keep building. He describes her role in a way that captures the LSW approach beautifully. “She helps me to formulate my ideas and adapt my presentations to deliver them in the best possible way. I equate Gilly with a personal trainer, someone who sets you up for the future.”
The Result
The change Ajay names most readily is that he can now get his message across during presentations, where before it too often slipped past unheard. Just as valuable is what the work opened up for him. “The course has given me ideas and techniques I never would have known about before.”
That he’s chosen to invest in another ten sessions says as much as any quote: this is someone who found the work worth continuing.
