As an organizational consultant in the small business sector, seldom do I have the pleasure of working with professionals who possess a unique mix of audience “relatability”, ability to simplify subject matter, and most importantly to be able to deliver an impactful and meaningful presentation to aspiring and established entrepreneurs.

I had the pleasure of inviting Sankeetha as guest presenter to the Fairmount Innovation Lab to speak to our Launchpad Accelerator cohort about legal structures and picking the right entity for your business. The natural proficiency with which she was able to present the material commanded the attention of the crowd and convinced many of our incubated businesses to rethink their strategies and re-plan their courses.

Amongst some of the feedback I received from the cohort was her ability to be break down legal language to layman’s terms while being direct and convincing. Case example of such is one of our startups that focus on being intermediaries for creative/festive events for corporations and organizations. They have been doing deals sans contract for months. Sankeetha’s simple but convincing explanation on the importance of contracts between partners (especially where money is exchanged) forced them to get their ducks in a row. They have since realized the importance of having these things notarized and this action step has now become standard protocol for all of their transactions.

Her PowerPoint slides were well edited despite having short notice. As for the length of time it took to go over all of the slides, she stayed well within the allotted time and had ample time remaining for a serious round of Q & A.
