About The Masterclass

The Unscripted Masterclass is a 3-hour experience built around Story, Influence and Presence, designed to help participants rethink the way they communicate in moments that matter. In professional rooms, leadership spaces, client conversations and public platforms, ideas need to be understood, remembered and acted upon. This masterclass helps participants explore how powerful communicators bring clarity to their thinking, structure their message with purpose, create emotional connection and hold attention with presence. Through powerful stories, live examples, frameworks and guided reflection, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi and Saveen Hegde will introduce participants to the deeper side of communication — where stories create meaning, presence builds trust and influence begins with clarity.
