Our Leaders
Shalini Suravarjjala
Director and Founder
"Empowering youth with the confidence to speak, the clarity to lead, and the courage to inspire—because your voice is your superpower"
I am a software engineer by profession. I teach youth to communicate confidently and effectively in speech, conversations, emails, phone calls, and social media. Helping them lead in their clubs, schools, job searches, interviews, and beyond.
I am a positive inspiration to both my own children and the youth students. My ability to teach through relatable analogies and examples. I work with patience and adaptability in teaching communication, leadership, and technology. I encourage students to express their opinions and feelings confidently with clarity, support them to embrace their unique voices, and pay it forward by mentoring others. I am deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of youth.
My success lies in seeing students improve and become better versions of themselves, embracing confidence, and using their voices to create a positive impact. Success is also seeing my lessons inspire future generations and witnessing students pass on what they've learned by mentoring others.
Power of Mentorship
The most important lesson is that every individual has the power to make a positive impact if they embrace their voice, believe in themselves, and focus on lifting others. Small acts of mentorship and encouragement can create a ripple effect of growth and transformation.
At SpeakersCircle, I believe every student has unique strengths and challenges. My expertise lies in identifying their strengths and using them to guide them to overcome obstacles and challenges. With the right guidance, even a single step in the right direction can set them on the path to achieving their goals. I believe a mentor can listen, guide and help a student carve their specific vision. You make lifelong friends, build a network, and gain from your mentor.
