I help people brew brilliant Conversations | ICF ACC | TEDx Speaker | Public Speaking and Communication Coach | NLP Practitioner | Corporate Trainer | Mindset Mentor

India’s First & Only Holistic Conversation Coach — Helping You Communicate with Clarity, Confidence & Impact in Every Sphere of Life.

👋 Welcome! If you’re here, chances are you care about the way you communicate—whether it’s at work, in social settings, or even with yourself. I help people brew brilliant conversations.

Communication Shapes Everything.
It’s not just about talking—it’s about influence, perception, and results. Whether you're in a boardroom negotiation, a social gathering, or a high-stakes discussion, the way you communicate determines how you’re perceived, the relationships you build, and the opportunities you unlock.

💡 A powerful conversation can open doors to career growth, deeper personal connections, and unwavering confidence. Poor communication? It leads to misunderstandings, missed chances, frustration, and even strained relationships.

That’s why I take a holistic approach to communication—helping professionals, C-suite leaders, and individuals master conversations in every aspect of life:
🔹 Professional
🔹 Personal & Social
🔹 Self-Talk
🔹 Networking
🔹 Public Speaking & Executive Presence

Who I Am
I know my name is unusual—let’s address that first. I’m April Strong, but I wasn’t born with this name. My birth name is Vijayalakshmi, and choosing "April" was an act of reinvention. To me, it symbolizes resilience, transformation, and strength—qualities that have shaped my journey.

Life, to me, is a quilt of gifts and lessons. I live by two principles:
🌱 Never worry about things beyond your control.
🌈 Everything in life is either a gift or a lesson.

Who I Work With

I help C-suite leaders, professionals, and organizations sharpen their communication skills to drive influence, confidence, and success.
I’ve trained professionals from Amazon, Microsoft, Yes Bank, Emerson, HDFC AMC, Tata Hitachi, IDBI, Hetero, Springbio Solutions, BCC, and many others—helping them refine their communication, elevate leadership presence, and advance in their work and life.

Most professionals freeze the moment a discussion gets tense.

But the ones who stay calm, centered, and clear are the ones people trust, and the ones who grow faster.

That’s exactly what I’ll teach you in 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮 𝟮-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 trusted by leaders at Google, Microsoft, Instagram, and Facebook.

Because honestly… whether you’re meeting a potential partner or a potential employer, the pressure to look sane, sound smart, and not spill anything on yourself is EXACTLY the same.

And don’t even get us started on the waiting game afterwards.

Will they call back?
Should I pretend I’m busy?
Should I move to the mountains and raise goats?

Dating and Interview

I didn’t even see this when Suman first posted it, she had shared it with me, but I was buried in work. Then I suddenly found it on my feed… and it completely made my day. 💛

One of the toughest parts of this work is that people rarely share their experiences publicly, even when the transformation runs deep.

So when someone does, and does it so beautifully, it means the world. 🙏

Suman, I’m so proud of you.

The confidence you’ve built, the way you now lead conversations, handle tough situations, When identity shifts, everything shifts, it’s such a joy to witness your growth. 🌸

Grateful for this reflection and for the trust you’ve placed in the journey. 💫

#weeklymemory

We have a weekly session where we learn about how communication in the right manner can bring about the changes we are expecting out of us. Yesterday during the activity session I picked up the topic #change

Though there were very amazing topics, yet this one resonated with me the most. 

WHY

Because in the last few months after joining April Strong, 💪 ACC (ICF) for her sessions, the only thing constant in my life is CHANGE.

Some of the beautiful sentences which have brought the change.

1. If you are not programming your brain, it's still getting programmed.
2. Taking a pause - is my strength.
3. My state will lead my situation.
4. Who do I want to be today? 
5. Every challenge is an opportunity to prove my strength.
6. Productivity means doing what matters the most.
7. We don't get energy from others, we carry our own.

And many more along the journey.

This is a #gratitude post and I wish a lot of people can get benefitted by taking that leap of faith as I took.

I remember this video every time it felt like building a mindful mindset. This video mirrors how we create the change in our life by choosing being mindful and aware.

Drop in a comment if it resonates with you.

You can do everything right at work - hit deadlines, go the extra mile, deliver results.

But if you hesitate in the one moment that truly matters — when you need to speak up, negotiate, or ask for what you deserve — all that effort can quietly go unseen.

That’s why we’re hosting an 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 designed to help you turn those tense moments into turning points in your career.

🕒 We realized a 3-day format was tough for many to attend -
 so we’ve packed the same powerful lessons into just one focused evening.

You’ll learn how to:
 💬 Speak with confidence (even when it’s uncomfortable)
 💼 Communicate your worth clearly
 🚀 Unlock recognition, growth & higher pay

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗜 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲

I didn’t choose how I was born.
But I did choose who I became.

In April 2020, after losing everything 
…I made one choice:
To stop surviving.
And start building someone new.

That person needed a new name.
Not a name tied to pain.
But a name rooted in power.
That’s when 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 was born.

Not my birth name.
My rebirth name.

She asks me just one question every morning:
How can I make today count?

Back then, when my future looked like a pitch-black tunnel, a friend said, “Take one day at a time.”

It took me time to understand that. But when I understood that statement. 
I clung to it.
And today, I want to be that friend for you.

When you’re in pain, life feels like an ugly, endless road.
But that’s only because you can’t see clearly yet.

Every dawn is a doorway.
And every day is a chance to begin again.

“Take one day at a time.” and tell me
→ What will you name your next chapter?

Today I am hosting a 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 "𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆"

Your heart beats faster.
Your palms sweat.
Your mind goes blank for a second.
We instantly label it as nervousness or anxiety.

But physiologically, it’s the same feeling as excitement.
A fascinating Harvard study tested this.

Participants had to do nerve-wracking tasks like public speaking and mental math under pressure.

But one group was told to say out loud - “I’m excited!” before starting.

Guess what happened?

They felt more confident. They performed better.

Because they reframed their stress as enthusiasm.

🧠 The mind believes what you tell it.
 Change your words, and you change your experience.

So the next time you feel those butterflies.
Don’t calm them. Train them to fly in formation. 🦋

This clip felt very real to me.

The first woman didn’t get priority because she had influence.
She mattered because she cared.
She showed up every year.

She supported the bakery even in lockdown when no one was stepping out.

She ordered pies she didn’t even pick up… just so the shop would feel seen, supported, remembered.
And that’s what the owner remembered.

Not the order.
Not the money.
But the feeling.

It reminded me how human we all are underneath everything we do.
Sometimes people become important to us simply because they’ve shown us a little warmth, a little consistency, a little kindness over time.

We think relationships are built through big moments.
But when I look closely, maybe they’re really built on small gestures and care.

We often call it a “communication gap.”

But most communication issues aren’t about words; they're about what we never say.

Every feeling you avoid, every thought you push down, it doesn’t vanish.

It waits.

And one day, it speaks for you as anger, irritation, or withdrawal.

The next time you catch yourself snapping at something small,
pause and ask :
“What am I holding back?”

3 minutes of honesty a day can prevent 3 weeks of regret later.

If you struggle with speaking, here’s something you need to hear today.

Your communication journey is not defined by how perfect you sound - it’s defined by the courage to keep showing up.

You don’t need flawless grammar to make an impact.
You don’t need a “perfect” accent to be respected.

And you definitely don’t need to be the most confident person in the room to be heard.

People care about clarity, not perfection.

They care about your message, not your mistakes.

Every time you speak, even if your voice shakes, you’re getting better.
Confidence is not something you wait for.

It’s something that grows with repetition.
One meeting, one conversation, one attempt at a time.

If you’ve been doubting yourself lately, save this.
You’re making more progress than you think.

If your conversations aren’t opening doors… they’re silently closing them.

You can be brilliant, hardworking, and deeply committed, but if your voice doesn’t carry weight, your ideas don’t influence people, and your presence doesn’t shift a room…

You’ll keep seeing people with half your talent move ahead of you.
And that’s exactly why I created something different.

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

Think about it.

You’ve been told that if you master public speaking, confidence tricks, or personality hacks, your visibility at work will skyrocket.

But here’s the truth no one talks about 👇
Most high achievers don’t struggle with speeches.

They struggle with everyday conversations.
Because if your day-to-day interactions still sound hesitant, apologetic, or confusing…

 ➡️ You’ll stay invisible.
 ➡️ Your ideas won’t get the recognition they deserve.
 ➡️ And your growth will always feel like it’s on pause.

That’s where I step in.

I help introverted professionals transform their income, influence, and clarity by mastering the one skill that quietly drives every opportunity: conversations.

When you learn to speak with impact in everyday moments, you:
 ✨ Grow your career faster
 ✨ Unlock promotions
 ✨ Attract better clients
 ✨ And finally feel like the leader you already are just waiting to be heard.

“𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗻...”

A few days ago, I got a message that made me sit up straight.

It was from Ruben Gonzalez ❄️

Four-time Olympian.
Best-selling author.
Leadership keynote speaker for over 100 Fortune 500 companies.
A man whose TED talk has crossed a million views.

And his message simply said, “𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘡𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭.”

For a moment, I felt like a kid who just got picked for the school relay team.

I had first heard of Ruben through Srikanthan Kumarasamy. I remember listening to him then. He remembered his childlike excitement that filled the whole room. 

So imagine my joy when we finally spoke one-on-one.

What struck me this time was not the medals, not the accolades, not even the decades of Olympic appearances.

It was how he began.

Ruben didn’t grow up training on ice.
He didn’t start luge at four like other Olympians.
He didn’t come from a winter-sport culture.

He started at 21.

Twenty-one is the age most athletes peak.
For luge, it’s pretty late.

But Ruben had one strength that defined his entire life:

He never quits.

When he saw a list of Olympic sports, he didn’t pick the popular ones. He didn’t pick the ones he understood.

He picked the most dangerous one.

His logic made me smile.

“If a sport is extremely tough, most people will quit.
If most people quit and I don’t, I’ll eventually make it.”

That was his entire strategy.

He shared how he made one call and said 
“I want to learn luge. I want to be in the Olympics in four years. Will you help me?”

No fancy story. No glamorous facilities. No special privileges.
Just grit, clarity, and a willingness to choose the hard road because it matched his strengths.

That’s the part that stayed with me long after the call.

Ruben didn’t succeed despite starting late.
He succeeded because he understood himself.

He knew perseverance was his superpower.
So he chose a sport where perseverance could beat talent and time.

And he never looked back.

Talking to him reminded me of something I often tell my clients:
Success gets easier when you stop fighting who you are.

Thank you, Ruben, for the inspiration and the joy you bring into every conversation.

And thank you, Srikanth pa, for introducing me to a man who proves that age, timing, and circumstances mean nothing when your spirit is unstoppable.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?

 👉 Do you avoid, overthink, or jump in too fast?

Every time we avoid a difficult conversation, something inside us shrinks, our confidence, our voice, our self-respect.

We assume we’re preserving peace…
 
But silence doesn’t build peace; it builds distance.
And the longer we wait, the heavier the conversation becomes. ⚖️

Today’s masterclass is your chance to break this cycle.
I’ll show you how to approach tough conversations without fear, communicate with clarity, and stop giving away your power through silence, so you can lead with calm confidence. ✨

On Sunday, I was sitting there, frustrated…
feeling that voice inside me saying, “I’m doing everything possible… 

Then why are my results nowhere close to where they should be?”
And right then, this Zakir Khan clip shows up on my feed.

Two lines hit me hard:
“Let the record show that I took the blow.”
“I did it my way.”
Isn’t it true?

We get so focused on outcomes that we forget the quiet courage of simply staying in the game.

Showing up when no one claps.
Carrying weight no one else can see.
Taking the hit and still choosing our own path.
Sometimes the work feels heavy.
Sometimes the progress feels invisible.
Sometimes it feels like your bones are cracking under the load.

But this reminded me of one thing:
Effort shapes us in ways results never can.
If you’re in that space too… I feel you.

Keep going your way.
Sending prayers your way.

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆?

You can be the most skilled person in the room, but if your words don’t land, your ideas don’t move people, and your presence doesn’t hold attention…

You’ll keep watching others get the opportunities meant for you.

That’s exactly why I created the 𝟱-𝗗𝗮𝘆 “𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆” 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲.

It’s not another course - it’s a 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝟭:𝟭 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 to realign your energy, words, and presence so your communication finally matches your potential.

Here’s what’s inside 👇

Imagine this, You’re in a crowded room, yet you hear no voices - only your own.

That quiet dialogue in your head - the one no one else hears often carries the heaviest weight.

Sometimes it’s encouraging, sometimes it’s ruthless. And over time, that unseen dialogue begins to shape the way you speak, listen, and connect with the world outside.

Strange, isn’t it? 

We spend so much energy learning to express ourselves better, but rarely pause to notice the hidden voice influencing it all.

If you’ve ever wondered why your words don’t always match your intentions… or why clarity feels so hard even when you “say it right” the answer might be closer than you think. 👀

Most people either:

But the real power lies in negotiation done with clarity, respect, and confidence.

In this video, I break down 4 simple steps you can use to negotiate the salary you deserve without burning bridges.

Because remember, companies expect you to negotiate.
It’s not a confrontation. It’s communication.

We’ve all heard it.
Some of us have said it.
