To the memory of my mother, Wendy Foulkes, an expert computer trainer from whom
I had the privilege of learning and working. Her passion for end user training was infectious and instilled in me life-long skills of patience, dedication, determination, and confidence. If her life were not taken away so early, we would be coauthoring many books together, but I know that she is proud looking down from above.
To my three sons, Chris, JJ, and Matt, as a reminder that you only have one chance at your unique life. Use this valuable gift surrounded by family, love, and a focused passion to move forward through it with contentment. Give yourself a shake as you hit any of life's obstacles, regain a positive outlook, and continue to be the best unique you.
You are my everything.

I would like to acknowledge the Packt staff, whohave displayed nothing but professionalism, coupled with a supportive and collaborative work ethic throughout the various stages of this book. In particular, Karan Gupta (Acquisition Editor), with whom it has been an absolute pleasure working. Karan, thank you for initiating the first contact and going the extra mile for me with professional care to detail and making sure everything was running smoothly across different time zones, being available 24/7; and to Ruvika Rao (Content Development Editor), who has been my right-hand woman, hot on my heels supporting and keeping me in check. Your work ethic is impeccable and I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with you. I would also like to thank Prajakta Naik, Richa Tripathi, Aaron Lazar, and my reviewers, Ambarish Tarte and Omprakash Pandey, for their valuable input.

He began his corporate training stint in 2011 and has had the privilege of training delegates of over 20 nationalities in classroom and online sessions.

Ambarish is also a YouTuber and runs various social media pages.
I thank my parents for their continued support during my stint so far as a corporate training consultant. Quitting a full-time job and moving into freelancing requires support from family, and my parents left no stone unturned in doing so. I would also like to thank Mr. Saiesh G Tripathi, my colleague, for his inputs. Thanks to Ms. Pooja Vaishnav, my protg, for the initial screening of the chapters in this book.
