Public Speaking Workshop
18th June, Dubai
A full day training for professionals and entrepreneurs who want to learn how to become a confident and engaging speaker.
This full-day masterclass will will focus on 3 areas:
- Theory: overcoming your mental blocks and developing a confident mindset using NLP and coaching techniques.
- Learn what it means to be a confident and engaging speaker using verbal & non-verbal communication.
- Practise practise practise with constructive feedback.
If you’re either a professional or an entrepreneur, becoming a confident speaker is absolutely CRUCIAL. Why? Because it’s not something you can hide away from. If you want to work your way up in your field, you need to stand out. You need to be seen and make a good impression on others and a powerful way to do that is by knowing how to communicate in a way that informs, educates, motivates and inspires others.
And this is exactly what leadership is. Being able to spread your message in a way that will have successful outcomes as well as a positive impact on others.
If you’re an entrepreneur, then both your brand and your business are going to get left behind if you keep hiding away from opportunities. Everything is about visibility these days. And so if you’re not visible, no ones going to know about you, let alone buy from you
“46% of respondents in a survey admit that they’ve been distracted during a co-worker’s presentation. Instead of watching the presentation they often do the following tasks: send text messages, answer email, surf the internet, check social media, or fall asleep.”
It’s one thing to simply stand in front of your audience and read from your PowerPoint presentation with the same tone of voice, and it’s another to speak in a way that makes your audience want to listen, and for you to get noticed.
On Saturday 18th June, Aliya will be running a full day training on how to become a confident AND engaging speaker so that you can stand out and thrive in your field.
This is going to be a highly practical session, with interactive exercises throughout the workshop to work to equip you with the vital tools needed to speak with confidence using your mindset, physiology and voice.
This workshop will also include you working on a 5 minute presentation to practise and present to the group with tailored, specific feedback based on your public speaking goals.
This workshop is limited to a small number of people due to the interactive nature of the event, and so places are only available on a first come basis.
Workshops and lunch will also be provided at the workshop.
We look forward to seeing you there.
“After attending Aliyas public speaking workshop I find myself confident in being able to communicate within a group/larger crowd. My team also thoroughly enjoyed her session and I have noticed a considerable change in the way they are able to express themselves especially with new Clients. I would definitely recommend her workshops to other companies where “effective speaking” is key to their business model.
Thank you Aliya for an amazing session and look forward to attending future events!“

“I felt I had been adrift for a while when it came to my professional life and career. I had been in and out of the editorial world for some time and while I was good at my job and loved writing I just didn’t feel as satisfied as I used to. I really felt like I needed some expert advice and guidance as well as someone to hold me accountable too. Aliya was the perfect fit and helped me beyond measure. I was facing and dealing with a lot of anxiety, low confidence and self esteem when it came to both my personal and professional life. Furthermore, I had trouble achieving my goals which only added to my self esteem issues. It was affecting pretty much every area of my life.
The lessons I have learned from Aliya during our 1:1 sessions have been eye opening and life changing. Early on in our work together, I confessed to Aliya that I felt I was at a crossroads career wise. It was either to continue to stay in the editorial/publishing world or go after a long buried dream of mine, to enter the wellness and fitness industry. To be more specific, I wanted to undergo my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training to become a certified Yoga instructor. I chose the second option and went along the path and today I am a registered Yoga instructor teaching both Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. I am very proud of myself. I also learned to break down my goals into smaller pieces so they were more achievable thus becoming less anxiety provoking too.
I have become calmer and more at ease within myself too, and because I was feeling better about myself that spread out into my personal relationships as well. All of my family and friends as well as my husband noticed a positive change in both my behaviour and mood, because I was finally really good about myself after a long time.
Every single area of my life improved as a result of the sessions, as well as my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing too. However, it’s important to note that it didn’t happen overnight; it wasn’t always easy. Yet Aliya guided and helped me along the way but at the end of the day I made the effort and undertook the challenges myself. It was all worth it.
I felt that I could truly be honest about where and what I had been struggling with and that I would not be judged by it. I also appreciated the fact that Aliya created our sessions with a very feminine energy and not a stressful and masucuine energy if that makes sense. It was very helpful to work with Aliya who is also a woman and very understanding as well.
