Background
Phillip Khan-Panni is one of the UK's top Business Communications Consultants, and a proven master of succinct communication, both spoken and written. In addition, he is an expert in clear cross-cultural communication, regularly coaching top business leaders and diplomats. He speaks knowledgeably and interestingly about effective communication, about direct marketing and about customer relationship management (CRM) from a non-technical point of view. In addition, he is in demand as a meetings moderator and master of ceremonies.
He's one of the finest speakers in Britain, and has won more public speaking contests than anyone in Europe, becoming UK Public Speaking Champion seven times, Anglo-Irish champion three times, and World Silver Medallist at San Diego in 1995, a record so far unequalled in Britain.
He is the author of five books (see below). One recent reviewer wrote: "Khan-Panni writes with power and passion about putting power and passion into your public speaking and presentations. The ideas teem, the pace is fast and, above all, the writer has been there, got it wrong, worked out why and moved on."

An outstanding wordsmith with a business background in Advertising, Newspaper Publishing and Direct Marketing, he was Senior Copywriter at Reader's Digest for eight years, and the most successful Classified Ad Manager of the Daily and Sunday Express, where he tripled revenue in his first year.

Dear Phillip,
I am writing to express the immense benefit that we gained from your presentation at the Yes Group, and to thank you for your unique input - which I found of great value.
I know that our members have found your presentation was wonderful. I understand that you have recently bumped into one of our group who had been at your event, and that you received the feedback first hand, "Your session was absolutely fantastic. I was so inspired that when I got home I was up half the night writing down all the ideas you helped generate in me." I assure you that you have instilled excitement, and inspired many amongst us.
I had seen you present brilliantly before, which is why I was so keen to invite you to our event. Yet, I felt that your performance for us was even more professional and polished, which was demonstrated by the great rapport you had with our audience - the connection was absolutely fantastic.
Your delivery was masterful. Your style of speaking easy, conversational, and interactive, and your connection with the audience was reflected in your ability to inspire and to motivate them to make changes to the quality of their lives.
Thank you again for the gift you gave us from the heart, and for all your time and effort.
Kind regards
Ilham Chalabi
Chair - Yes Group, London
