Personal Intro - Nirmala Kumar

Hello Product Experts!

I’m Nirmala, founder of SpeakEQ, based in Seattle. After more than 2 decades working in technology, digital transformation, and product leadership, I became increasingly interested in a simple question: How do we know whether the way we communicate is actually having the impact we intend?

We built SpeakEQ around that question.

SpeakEQ is a communication practice app that gives people a safe place to practice real conversations. You choose a situation, decide how you want to come across, speak naturally, receive feedback on your communication and emotional expression, and try again.

The idea is simple: instead of discovering after an important conversation that you came across as uncertain, too aggressive, too passive, or simply not the way you intended, you can practice beforehand.

We're still early, and I'm here to learn from people who care about communication, product design, behavioral science, and the future of how technology can help us connect better.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the problem, the approach, and where you think something like SpeakEQ could be most useful.
