Public Speaking Courses & Workshops
Select one of three core corporate public speaking courses, or combine modules into a custom curriculum built around your upcoming town halls, client pitches, and board reviews.
For commercial, executive, and client-facing teams
When your leaders walk into a high-stakes meeting, the first 60 seconds determine whether senior decision-makers tune in or check their phones. Participants learn how to open with an immediate hook, structure a clear three-part executive recommendation, use vocal variety and stage posture to project authority, and close with a concrete decision request.
Delivered for regional teams at Sony Pictures, EY, AIA, and TikTok across Asia-Pacific, achieving a 54% measured lift in presentation energy and delivery confidence.
Format: 30% structured tools, 70% live practice. Attendees rebuild a real presentation from their calendar, deliver it in small groups, review their on-camera recording, and receive direct coaching in the room.
Executive presence 60-second hooks Vocal & body language mastery Persuasive closing
For finance, legal, consulting, and technical specialists
Subject-matter experts often lose senior audiences by walking through 40 dense slides of raw numbers before stating their point. This public speaking course shows analytical teams how to distil complex reports into a crisp headline, connect data points using the SCQ (Situation-Complication-Question) storyboard, and pair key statistics with a 60-second business story.
For teams that want an entire workshop dedicated to narrative structure, explore my storytelling training for leaders and storytelling training for technical teams.
SCQ storyboarding Presenting data clearly Executive brevity Slide detox
For directors, partners, and senior managers
Senior leaders are judged most heavily when the scripted slides end and hostile or unexpected questions begin. This programme equips directors and department heads to think on their feet, answer challenging boardroom and town-hall questions using structured bridging techniques, and align cross-functional teams during periods of organizational change.
See how this pairs with our broader leadership public speaking training and corporate sales training in Hong Kong.

For over a decade, I have coached executives, partners, bankers, and technical teams in 27 countries across 5 continents to speak with clarity and conviction when the stakes are highest.
In 2025, Global Gurus named me a Top 10 Communication Expert in the World. I have written 12 best-selling books on public speaking, storytelling, and persuasion (translated into 6 languages), and my business storytelling framework is taught to MBA students at Harvard Business School.
Hong Kong is home. Here and across Asia-Pacific, I have delivered corporate presentation training and keynotes for AIA, Citi, J.P. Morgan, Sun Life, EY, Gucci, Sony Pictures, TikTok, The Trade Desk, and The University of Hong Kong.
Before training full-time, I served as Chief Commercial Officer of a fast-growth technology company and began my career teaching at the Hong Kong Academy. Every tool in my workshops is built for busy corporate professionals who need practical techniques they can use in their very next meeting.

Even brilliant analysts, partners, and directors lose influence when their delivery hides the value of their thinking. Here are the three most common breakdowns we fix inside the workshop:
Many technical and financial presenters walk chronologically through every step of their analysis before revealing their recommendation. Senior executives lose patience by slide four. We train your people to lead with the bottom-line insight and structure supporting evidence using the SCQ storyboard.
When high-achieving professionals feel pressure in front of a board or client panel, they speed up, drop their vocal volume, and read bullet points off the screen. Through live on-camera drills, participants master strategic pausing, vocal projection, and open body language that commands attention.
A crisp 15-minute presentation can unravel in two minutes of defensive or unfocused Q&A responses. We run live pressure-test drills where participants practice acknowledging pushback calmly, bridging back to their core message, and answering executive questions in 45 seconds or less.

Akash Karia’s corporate public speaking training in Hong Kong covers four core pillars: executive message structure (using the SCQ and S.C.E.N.E. storyboarding frameworks), turning complex data and financial slides into clear recommendations, vocal and body-language presence under pressure, and handling tough boardroom Q&A with poise.
Every public speaking course in HK follows a 30/70 practice ratio: 30% structured communication frameworks and 70% live speaking drills. Participants build an upcoming real presentation, deliver it on their feet, record a 90-second video on their phones to review their vocal pacing and posture, and receive live coaching from Akash Karia in the room.
This page covers group corporate public speaking workshops, presentation skills courses, and multi-session academies for teams of 7 to 500+ participants.
