WHO AM I?

I was born with a disability in my left arm, grew up with anxiety, was forced to learn French in Montreal, and even studied in a field unrelated to communication.
By every measure, I wasn’t supposed to become a speaker.

But those challenges taught me something powerful:

communication is a skill that anyone can master.

Today, I’m grateful to coach professionals around the world on mastering their message and communicating like leaders. My mission is to make communication accessible for anyone, especially those who feel like the odds are stacked against them… because I’ve been there.

If I could overcome my three strikes, you can master your talk too.

I’m Brenden Kumarasamy.
Head Communication Coach at the Personal Leadership Academy and a LinkedIn Top Voice.
I help IT professionals become top 1% communicators so they can lead with clarity, confidence, and real impact.
