Sudha Kheterpal is a world-renowned musician, performer, TEDx speaker, and coach. For more than 30 years, Sudha played with high-profile artists such as The Spice Girls, Faithless, and Dido and has performed in front of thousands of audiences. In 2013, inspired to translate the experiences she’s had from performing into something useful for more people, Sudha created Spark, a percussion shaker capable of converting kinetic energy into electricity.

She describes the importance of practice and the similarities between musical performance and delivering a business pitch. She also highlights what working with other musicians taught her about non-verbal communication, what it takes to deliver an impactful pitch, and underscores why when it’s show time, it’s connection time.
