Introductory letter.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Deepak Chopra (World renowned speaker & writer on Ayurveda, Spiritualist & Mind-body medicine) stated “We must have a passion, a dream, a purpose in life……. because we are here to express our unique talents.”

After nearly 17 years of speaking competitively, getting involved in speaking events and engagements and training & coaching on a freelance part-time basis, I have decided to follow my passion and calling in life – Speaking and training.

To me speaking & training is not a job but a passion. It is something I live for, look forward to and passionately desire to be the world’s best. Given a choice I would do this for free each and every day of my life. But one needs to survive, that is where I seek employment doing what I love best.

Along with this introductory letter, I have briefly outlined my credentials which I believe will state my track record in this dynamic field.

I would love to join an organization where I can utilize these talents and gifts to contribute to the growth of an organization whilst aiming to be the best at what I do.

I would request for your patience to go through my curriculum vitae and judge where I can prove to be an asset to your organization. Also, upon request, I would be more than happy to provide many references. Alternatively, if you wish to see me conduct a training session at your premises and showcase what I can offer, I would be honored.

I would conclude stating the words of the Award winning motivational speaker and author – Jack Canfield “If you’re passionate about what it is you do, and then you’re going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it.”

I look forward to endless possibilities.
