About the author

Yamini is, as far as she knows, the world's only economist (please don't hold that against her) turned business storyteller. With a client list of Fortune 500 and ASX top-20 companies, she works at CEO and C-suite level around the world to spread the power of stories throughout organisations.

She was born and raised in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in India and to everyone's surprise, including her own, won a gold medal at Bombay University and completed a postgraduate degree at the London School of Economics on an LSE Scholarship.

Yamini is a prolific speaker and writer, and is consistently rated among the top business storytellers globally, as well as being one of Australia's most in-demand keynote speakers.

Her first, co-authored book, Hooked: How leaders connect, engage and inspire with storytelling, was published in 2013 to critical acclaim.

She is also a voluntary guide at the National Gallery of Victoria. She now lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her large extended family, including a crazy seven-year-old escape artist Cavoodle.
