Deliver impact that lasts

Binod is not a motivational speaker. In fact, he intensely dislikes being called one! Because unlike the average ‘motivational’ talk that leaves you on a high but with very little of substance, Binod’s talks are packed with brutal honesty, real-world insights and actionable advice (with a dash of adventure). Expect a kick-ass keynote talk that doesn’t just inspire but pushes your audience to think, act, and transform.

His practical advice on how ‘stuck managers’ can advance their careers by increasing their influence at work and being more visible was really simple when you think of it in hindsight but not many make a conscious effort to do them.

Binod is an amazing speaker. His presentation on “Bridging the Skills Gap” was really insightful. I could relate to so many areas of his personal story. His experience in overcoming challenges thrown at him over so many years and his insights into mountaineering – how it teaches you to embrace failure and yet keep on moving forward- would have motivated many individuals.
