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.

It was great to speak to the Finance Department at It was great to speak to the Finance Department at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi this week about how to incorporate daily self-care practices to reduce stress.

Healthy and happy employees are more productive, motivated, engaged and creative. But when stress levels are high, this can lead to burnout, decreased satisfaction, and even physical symptoms🤯

The impact on work can include reduced concentration, impacted memory, a loss in motivation and more sick days. Taking care of of employee stress does not only contribute to their wellbeing but also productivity 🌱 

During the talk I focused on the concept of not necessarily a ‘work-life’ balance but more a ‘work-you’ balance by making a conscious effort to create small pockets in the day where you’re filling your own cup.

Coaching and workshop topics that I support both teams and individuals with include stress management, public speaking and confidence building.

If you’d like to have a conversation about how coaching can help you in any of the above areas or to run a session for your team, feel free to drop me a DM or send an email to:

There are huge feelings of helplessness right now There are huge feelings of helplessness right now but please know that every bit of effort collectively IS making a difference, and there are so many ways in which we can do something right now for the people in Palestine.

Whether it’s through prayers, donations, educating ourselves, boycotting, protesting, posting on social media we need to be the voice that our brothers and sisters in Palestine who are being dehumanized and terrorized on a daily basis are unable to have. This is unlike anything we have ever seen before.

There are currently over 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza, with over 100 women giving birth each day amidst the chaos.

I’m starting a 📚 book club in Dubai! This is I’m starting a 📚 book club in Dubai!

This is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while so I’m excited to finally make it happen.

I asked you guys on my story which genre you would most prefer and the most popular answers were; psychology/self-help, fiction and philosophy, and with that in mind our first book will be The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

I haven’t read it yet but have heard and read great things about it, and think it will make for some reallyyy interesting convos and so I’m looking forward to ordering my copy.
The meetings will take place once a month for a small group (max 12 people only - both men & women).

(Other genres included business, spirituality and health which I’ll keep in mind for the future).

The first book club meeting will be on Monday 13th November at 7pm. DM to sign up - bookings will be made on a first come basis and once all the spaces have been booked, registration will be closed. Spread the word to your bookworm friends and I can’t wait to see you there!

Happy reading 📖
A beautiful evening spent in Abu Dhabi last night A beautiful evening spent in Abu Dhabi last night for World Mental Health Day, where I partnered with @thepinkmajlis to host a self-love evening.

As we’re only 3 months away from 2024 (I know, crazy!) and in the last quarter of the year, rather than waiting until the new year to start setting goals, it’s a great time to start doing what I like to do a ‘life declutter.’

The main themes of the night were to identify beliefs and behaviours that are currently getting in the way of them feeling more confident and moving forward, 
and then getting super clear on what their goals are for the last quarter of the year and the first steps needed to make them happen.

As self-love was the focus on the evening our discussions went to so many different places including comparison syndrome, procrastination, how time management and self-discipline = self-love, and how to take better care of our mental health during challenging times.

Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a wonderful session❤️

If you want to host a session for the women in your workplace, or if you want to host a girls night outside of work feel free to get in touch and let’s have a conversation 💫

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

Ive been teaching confidence and public speaking f Ive been teaching confidence and public speaking for the past 6 years and I PROMISE you overcoming your fear of speaking (and even learning to ENJOY😆it is absolutely possible).

This was 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❤️
