Coaching With Aliya

Hey, I'm Aliya

  I am one of the leading Confidence and Public speaking Coaches in the UAE, specialising in helping ambitious, high-achieving individuals and small teams in building their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills that will enable them to thrive in their field. 

You have two choices. You can either be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. You can either choose to be kind, compassionate towards yourself and your own cheerleader or you can be self-critical, disempower yourself and hold yourself back. The one you choose will have a huge impact on the outcomes in your life. You can have all the knowledge, skills and even be the hardest working person in your team.

But if you lack self-confidence you will always find ways to hold yourself back and sabotage your success.

How can developing your self-confidence and public speaking skills help you?

 

  1. The Dale Carnegie Institute reports that 85% of your financial success is due to your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead, while only 15% is due to technical knowledge.
  2. Research conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that communication skills, including public speaking, are among the top skills employers seek, and professionals with strong communication skills tend to earn higher salaries.

  3. The National Institute of Mental Health states that practicing public speaking can help individuals manage social anxiety and performance-related stress over time.

  4. A study published in the Journal Psychology of Sport and Exercise found that consistent practice of public speaking is associated with increased self-confidence and a more positive self-image.

  5. A study published in the Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies found that individuals who are confident and effective public speakers are often perceived as more authoritative and capable of leadership roles.

Originally from London, UK and now living in Dubai, I am a qualified life coach, and certified NLP and Thetahealing practitioner, an entrepreneur, speaker, trainer and podcast host. I studied Biomedical Science as my undergraduate degree and then completed my Master’s in Public Health at King’s College London. I quickly worked my way up the career ladder, being promoted after 6 months of starting my public health career, and then another 6 months after that, landing a role as a senior member of my team in a national organisation aged 24. Although on paper I had my dream job, one that I had studied and worked so hard for, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing.

Success Stories

Life coaching changed my life and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck and wanted things to change. After working with Aliya I realised that it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I just had to take the first step and do it and once I did everything started to move smoothly in my life. I have learnt how to overcome challenges without pressure and deal with situations more easily and in a more positive way. 

I have seen so much growth within myself as a result of coaching and I am no longer holding myself back from doing what I want to do, and the areas I’ve seen the biggest improvements in are self-love, self-growth and communication. Aliya also feels like a friend, not just a coach and I love how understanding and non-judgemental she is, and how she knows how to deal with each situation. She really looked into people and helps them both believe in themselves and bring out the real person that’s within them.

I attended Aliya’s workshop on “How to Become a More Confident Speaker”.  Aliya is a fantastic trainer and very personable. The training session was a roaring success, and I learnt a lot of key points that I shall use when speaking in public and at events.

 Thank you Aliya.

Well this was like the cutest day ever❤️ A tri Well this was like the cutest day ever❤️ A trip to Dopamine Land in London 🇬🇧, a multi-sensory experience designed to increase our dopamine (the feel-good) hormone.

We spun around, danced, played in a ball pool, wrote letters to our younger selves and laughed until we cried (literally).

A little reminder to not take yourself, and life! too seriously. We can get so caught up in the day to day, work, responsibilities but that doesn’t mean we should forget to play 🙃laugh, and bring out our inner child 💃🏻
A little snippet from the ‘Speak, Lead, Succeed’ webinar last week, talking about 8 things that are stopping you from being a more confident public speaker and this is one of the biggest and most stressful ones! 😰

Rather than making the presentation all about YOU, try shifting your focus and putting all that energy into the delivery of your presentation instead and watch how much more smoothly it goes - and how much better you feel too! 💃🏻

There are always going to be people out there who There are always going to be people out there who have something to say about your life and get off on making judgements about who you are and where you are (or aren’t) in your life right now. Let them. Accept it and even embrace it. By dimming yourself down and trying to mould yourself into who you think you should be, and by suppressing yourself, your wants and your needs, you’re only going to bring yourself more pain than a few comments and judgements that are thrown your way would.

If you’re not happy with something, speak up. If you feel uncomfortable, set your boundaries, if you feel like you’re settling, make a change. Life is too short to stay stuck and stagnant when we know something isn’t right.

The ones who spend time talking and judging you are only doing so because they have the time to do so and clearly don’t have anything else inspiring going on in their lives. Do you really want to look back in 10 years time and say to yourself ‘my life would be so different now if I hadn’t spent so much time giving a sh*t about what other people think about me’ ?

You’ve been through a lot to get to where you are now and you need to give yourself way more credit❤️

If you’re in a leadership position, it’s impor If you’re in a leadership position, it’s important for you to be able to motivate, inspire and lead you team. But this is harder when you’re unable to motivate, inspire or lead yourself.

Once you’ve gained the tools to get out of your own way, take risks, overcome your fears and deal with the inner critic that’s in your mind, it becomes a lot easier and more natural to help your team to do the same.

If you’ve overcome these challenges yourself, you’ll have a lot more empathy, which is a crucial skill for great leadership.

And if your team have also learned to develop their self-confidence, it will lead to much higher productivity and increased motivation - woop!

On September 12th (7pm) I will be hosting a webinar on how to speak with more confidence as a leader. I will be sharing the details here, but if you’d like me to keep you in the loop feel free to comment below or send me a message.
Imposter syndrome explained in 40 seconds.. Impos Imposter syndrome explained in 40 seconds..

Imposter syndrome is experienced a lot more amongst high-achievers, resulting in ongoing feelings of self-doubt and anxiousness, accompanied by negative self-talk.

If this resonates with you, I would highly recommend taking out some time to reflect on your journey so far. One exercise I give to my coaching clients is to get them to write down
🌟 20 strengths they have (i.e. resilience, determination)
🌟 20 career/academic achievements
🌟 20 pieces of positive feedback received from others (i.e. a positive remark given about a presentation, recognition given by manager, client, colleague etc).

Yes this exercise is challenging but it’s a lot more rewarding than the ongoing frustrating feeling of not truly deserving to be where you are and holding yourself back from reaching your full potential.
A question I like to ask myself is : will I regret A question I like to ask myself is : will I regret not trying / going for this in the future? 

And if the answer is yes then I know what I have to do. For me the idea of regretting something I know I could have done is much worse than the fear of trying / getting it wrong / making a mistake.

I know that even if the outcome was the complete opposite of what I wanted it to be, at least I can say that I listened to what I wanted and was bold enough to at least try - and how can you regret saying yes to you?

There’s real liberation in having so much trust in yourself that even if things don’t work out and get super messy, you know that you absolutely can and will figure it out ❤️

Did you know glossophobia (the fear of public spea Did you know glossophobia (the fear of public speaking) is the number one fear (even more than DEATH!)😰

There are loads of reasons why someone might be scared to get up and speak / socialise/ network / go for an interview / speak up in a meeting and it’s different for everyone.

The great news is that public speaking is absolutely a fear that you can overcome, AND and really excel in your area of work as a result. It just takes some mindset coaching, preparation, practice with feedback and some relaxation techniques.

What’s your biggest fear when it comes to speaking?

If speaking is a fear you want to overcome before the end of the year because you’re fed up with it holding you back in your career or business, drop me a message and let’s change that 🎤 🎙️
I’ve been teaching people how to develop their s I’ve been teaching people how to develop their self-confidence for the past 6 years, and one thing that my clients in leadership roles often share with me is that they have attended various public speaking courses and trainings, but what’s different about my coaching specifically is that we delve into their mindset.

Why? Because yes I can teach you how to stand and change your body language, or use your voice more powerfully, but if on the inside you’re still feeling self-conscious, you’re scared of not coming across as perfect, you’re nerves are taking over, then all you’re doing is just putting a band aid over the problem, not getting to the root, and you’ll still face the same issues time and time again.

What happens when you get asked a question that you’re not prepared for, or suddenly there’s a change in the agenda and you don’t have as long to speak as originally planned?

If you build on the muscle of self-confidence from the inside out, you’ll feel a more equipped. There will be moments where you forget your words or get distracted, but if you are confident in yourself you will know how to navigate through the situation and bounce back when you make a mistake.

My clients are always baffled at what comes up when we delve into it. Often they realise they’re suffering from huge amounts of imposter syndrome. At other times they realise that the standard they set for themselves is perfection and won’t settle for anything less. Sometimes it’s being self-conscious of the way they speak or because English isn’t their first language.

Whatever it is, once you identify it and work through it it’s absolute game changer!

A day in the life of a personal & professional dev A day in the life of a personal & professional development coach: Summer edition!☀️

It’s been a couple of years since I made one of these so thought it’s time for another one 😂 those of you who know me know I leave Dubai during the summer months because, well 🥵 and spend time in the UK.

Every day looks different but mostly consists of the same thing: coaching sessions & onboarding new clients, meeting people and building relationships, creating content and preparing for upcoming talks/ workshops.

I absolutely LOVE having a routine, and for me there are certain ingredients (as I like to call it 🍰)I need to feel good and energized throughout the day (ie having a solid routine, speaking to people I love, exercise, eating healthily, feeling accomplished and making an impact).

The reason why I am a personal and professional development coach is because I think that the 2 areas are not so separate. When we neglect our personal life it can impact how we show up at work, and when we’re unhappy at work it spills over into our personal life.

It’s important to know what you need in your day to help you to have more confidence and how to best pour into your own cup❤️
