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