Testimonials
“It was a brilliant collaboration with Rayana Pandey, curating and co- facilitating our #consiousinclusion program "Respect in the Workplace" for MW APAC last week in Bangkok for our #diverseleadership community from the MW APAC region and a few key leaders from global. I had never met Rayana Pandey before, and we worked remotely, pulling this program together. I must say, Rayana Pandey gave us absolute confidence and understanding of the expectation, desired outcome, the engagement we anticipated, and aligning the delivery of the program to our global DEI strategy, principles, language, and inclusivity agenda from the very start of our engagement. Say no more; Rayana Pandey has a magical way of delivering the program. She was natural and comfortable engaging approximately 70 diverse leaders in one room with so much energy, enthusiasm, and engagement through an inclusive theater-based approach and activities across all modules and segments of our program. The room was filled with life, laughter, and connections as we celebrated conscious inclusion and a taste of diversity!”

“The theatre was always nice to watch sitting down in an auditorium, but the two-day insight into what goes behind those lines, lights, actions, and script was only possible because of Ms. Rayana. She gave valuable expert tips and tricks to be utilized in our training. I have now applied many of the things that have made my training more interesting and engaging.”

“I was lucky to attend a seminar by Rayana in Hyderabad, I have attended many seminars on topics like body language and public speaking but I could say this one was the best. She is full of energy and has a dynamic personality. l have learned a lot from that single session. Very easily I realized the importance of expressions, not only in theatre but in our daily lives as well. I strongly recommend her for personality development sessions and for overall grooming.”
